BFGmidliferunning: IMWA training tips
http://bfgmidliferunning.blogspot.com/2012/12/imwa-training-tips.html
Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Monday, December 17, 2012. Thought it would be useful to share some of my experience (good and bad) for IMWA. For what they are worth, I hope these tips would be of some help! The next few months would be an ideal time to develop your swimming technique and efficiency. While the swim leg is considered the least important leg, the 1.9 km Busselton jetty out-and-back swim can be daunting when viewed from the shore. Swimmi...

Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Just under 58 min at last month's biathlon. Is sub-50 achievable by year end? Links to this post. Sunday, April 8, 2012. Reflections on a Century Ride. June (not her real name) glanced at her watch. 36 kph. The group had been cruising along at this speed for the past hour, 30km into the century ride. “The easy part is over. Here comes the hard part! 8221; June muttered to herself. Time flew by&#...

Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Friday, August 31, 2012. Charity Bike n Blade 2012. Before the flag-off on day 2, a daunting 172km of rolling terrain, the chaplain received a prayer request. "Please pray for the hills to be flat! Jimmi calmly retorted, "It depends on your faith.". That was a good response. For this was the 2012 charity Bike and Blade, a two-day cycling event to raise funds for the underprivileged. We passed group one, surprisingly, an...

http://bfgmidliferunning.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Sunday, May 20, 2012. Little did I realize how inflexible I was until quite recently when Z commented about my instability while riding. With the difficulties I had on the mat, it was abundantly clear that I needed work in that department. As Z said, the amount of time spent stretching should be proportional to that on exercise. Links to this post. Friday, May 11, 2012. Links to this post. Wednesday, May 2, 2012. That w...

Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Monday, February 27, 2012. I can almost see it. That dream I am dreaming. But there's a voice inside my head saying. You'll never reach it". The first day's ride from Simpang Pulai to restaurant 88 was the same as last year's. Ascending 1,560m in elevation over 53 km. Clocked 15 min longer cuz I took it easy this time. Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't about what's waiting on the other side. And then, there was Ri...

Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Thursday, December 29, 2011. The Bond of Sweat, Tears and Blood. Sometimes I wonder what it is that makes our fellowship so different, that week in, week out, we forgo sleep to slog it out in the wee morning hours; that over 50 folks, with spouses and children in tow, would congregate to eat, drink, laugh and be merry at our annual gathering? But then, would I drag myself out of bed to cycle with other groups? Our stint...

BFGmidliferunning: July 2012
http://bfgmidliferunning.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Reflections on the joys and challenges in a cardiovasculary sojourn through mid life. Monday, July 16, 2012. Century Ride Malaysia 2012. Over coffee the night before. Century Ride Malaysia 2012 (formerly Ipoh Century Ride). To be forewarned is to be prepared. SC stayed back to pull us and we maintained a good speed, averaging slightly over 30 kph. The camel back (also known as Ipoh dragon back) wasn't as bad as it sounded. We were able to keep together for most of the 65km to the first water point. The n...
