Accolades

It has been a wonderful year.

This blog is not only about me but about everyone who made this race possible.

Thanks goes to my entire family who are behind me all the way.
They took care of the family and kids while I am away training...
Without their unwavering support, this would not have been possible.

FOTR for the training rides.
Riding with the guys are simply awesome.
With nine of us going for IMWA, it is so much more fun to train together. =)

Special thanks goes out to =-
YP for organising the awesome swim sessions. I lost 2kg here. =D
SE for always dragging me out for the rides. =p
BFF for dragging me out for the runs. =)
RL for offering so much advice coming from an IM perspective.
The wonderful friends who were there to console me when I am beating myself up.
My sister and her two awesome friends, LL and JY who flew in to Busselton just to support me for the race!!!
I feel so blessed. =)

Hehe, now for the special mentions for the race. =)

Swim - SE. While all of us are decked out in the best wetsuit possible, SE opt for SMART1 Pullover. Not only is he at a disadvantage wetsuit-wise, he still trumped most of us for the swim time! =)

Bike - KL. He is the man! The one who trained for hours on the bike trainer. The man who spend all of his training rides in the living room! How he survived that 180km on the roads is anyone's guess.

Run - This is the hard one to decide. It goes out to Ivan who ran a wonderful 4+ marathon without a watch to pace him.

Overall - Kristal!!! This gal is a true Energizer bunny. She trounces most of us with her aluminium bike! She emerges as the strongest female Singaporean cyclist for the day. She ends up as the fastest Singaporean Finisher for the race!

Well done, everyone!!! =)
