TAS Inter-Collegiate & School Aquathlon 2009 | Pre-race

Time Now: 0915
So excited about this race! First Biathlon Race after like 3 years which i will be taking part under school name. This time under SIM, rivaling the TP juniors at the race course in ECP! It have been ages since i take a biathlon so seriously although i didn't really have a race plan drafted out.

Thursday training, Eugene did a race plan with us. Telling us how to tackle at different stages of the race, Swim, Transition and Run.

Swim:
Positioning when entering the water
Ideally what we should be doing when approaching buoy, decision to overtake etc..

Transition:
Walk through the area, know it inside out. Where our area is, how our stuffs being placed, where is the exit. Setting his standards for the attire we wearing and timing to get out.

Run:
Spotting the potential blind spots and areas where people are tend to slow down. Hence subconsciously telling ourselves not to land into that situation.

However, so much being said.. RACE PLAN ALWAYS FAILS! But at least there is something to visualize and work on, modification will be done while going through it.

Damn! it will be hot, judging by the afternoon weather these few days. Hopefully its equally windy, will be too optimistic to wish that the wind is strong enough to push me forward.

1100-1230: Make way to ECP
1230-1310: Admin Stuffs
