Jljl: my life in briefs. All posts by Julian Lim. Ironman 70.3 Vietnam 2016. May 9, 2016. One year on from my first half-ironman, the butterflies in the stomach have mostly flown away, replaced by expectations. Last year I was just hoping to finish in one piece, and I came in at 6:22hr. Team TriEdge on the day before the race. Long run in to T1. I had the shoes already clipped in, so it felt like I hardly had anything to do apart from getting the helmet and sunnies on before getting the bike out. This wa...

Jljl: my life in briefs. DNG #35: Tracking the Ironmen. May 9, 2015. Less than 8 hours away till race start. Had a long nap this afternoon and a relaxing massage, so I’m still up now at 10.41pm and fiddling with stuff. No supporters here, so here’s an unused supporter sticker. Thought to let everyone know that they can track the progress of all participants tomorrow. If you have nothing better to do, or are just kaypo, you can track my progress either by. 1) the official ironman website. DNG #36: Game on.

DNG #40: Coach Class | jljl: my life in briefs
https://jljl.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/dng-40-thanksgiving
Jljl: my life in briefs. DNG #40: Coach Class. May 20, 2015. Going into a race like Danang, you see all sorts of people taking part. Ranging from the seasoned professionals, to those who make you worry for their well-being. Seriously, you risk doing some real damage to your body if you’ve not conditioned yourself prior to the event. I’ve mentioned my emphasis on getting the right coaching before, and it’s on raceday when you see everything come together. Coaches Scott (left) and Michael. Good job PM Lee!

DNG #39: T2 + The Run | jljl: my life in briefs
https://jljl.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/dng-39-t2-run
Jljl: my life in briefs. DNG #39: T2 The Run. May 17, 2015. Hopped off the bike knowing the legs would be jelly. True enough, I stumbled a bit and stepped on my front wheel, not knowing till the next day that I broke the valve in the process. Ran with the bike back into transition only to realise that a whole motherload of bikes had come in, almost like what I saw when was there during T1.😦 It was depressing. Still, I was hoping to make up time on the run. I did, but it was a slow, painful process.

Jljl: my life in briefs. DNG #38: T1 The Bike. May 17, 2015. Out of the water, I felt good running up the beach. Reached behind to lift the zipper of the Roka and split the suit so the upper half was off. (Little did I know I’d forget the rest of it! It was a long run to the Transition Zone, and thankfully they had laid carpet on top of the extremely hot cobbled surface that was there the day before during bike check in. Transition 1 (a.k.a. T1). Lesson: Make sure everything is taped on. Pockets suck.

Jljl: my life in briefs. Cameras and other things that attach to them. I used to own a puny Nikon D40. That I purchased for myself as a Christmas present in December 2006. I’m now using a slightly less puny Nikon D90. That’s permanently coupled to a AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED DX VR. Lens for everything. (Lazy, I am) When I have a bit more time to get a little arty, there’s the bokehlicious AF 50mm f/1.4. Where necessary, the Nikon SB600. Is attached for additional illumination. 8211; Nikon D600 / D.

Jljl: my life in briefs. DNG #37: The Swim. May 17, 2015. The race is finally over, and now it’s time to sit back and reflect. Being a rather long race, I thought to break my report into parts rather than ramble on, and on… And on. So here goes the first bit. Coach Scott giving some tips on start strategy. DNG #36: Game on.
