18th December 2011 Reflections

Haha... the race is over for 2 weeks yet I keep ranting...

Just fun thoughts that may intrigue you to do an Ironman.
Was chatting to SC when I thought of these. =D

1) 20 to 30 swimmers in wetsuits exiting the sea at once. What does that reminds you?
Navy Seals exiting the waters during a mission. =D

2) Peeling a banana with my numb hands during a break on the Bike Course. It took some effort.
What surprised the volunteers was how I managed to shove the entire banana into my mouth and almost choked.
Brought back memories of my 3km FINA swim a few years back.
I did exactly the same thing and almost choked, cos I forgot that I have to breathe through the same airway! =p

3) Ivan mentioned about his magical moment as the time he entered the Finish Chute.
On reflection, it truly is a magical moment.
The moment you enter the chute, the whole world is just focused on your moment.
The supporters, the M-Dot carpet, the Finish Arch...
Nothing else matters. =)
