Completion of a Triathlon for 2013

The common resolution that I have each year is to complete a Triathlon. I don't compete. I do it at my own pace. Enjoying the whole process.

2008 - I joined my university Triathlon club. Did my first Triathlon at OSIM and represented uni for other
            inter universities triathlon races
2009 - Did my second Triathlon. Again at OSIM.
2010 - Had not been exercising since I started work so I did SMU Wakiki Mini Triathlon.
2011 - Got rope in to take over someone for the OCBC Cycle. Realized how unfit I was. Then Tried my
           first Aquathlon
2012 - Did more trekking. No triathlon accomplished.
2013 - Embarking on triathlon- Trifam sprint race on 27th January 2013.
            Might also do the Metasprint series on 21st Apr 2013 if I manage to persuade my brothers to take
            part in it together.

Here's an idea to showcase what a Triathlon is
First you begin with a swim in the sea
 After your swim, you go to a spot where your bike is, quickly clean the sea water on your body to prevent from dehydration, wear your socks, take your bike and push it to the cycling zone then start cycling.
After you finish cycling, you put your bike back at the same spot, then start your run.
I always love the swimming ( because its the start of the adrenalin) and cycling (because this allows me to take in fresh air and breathe). I 'hate' the cycling because by then I'm terribly exhausted. But once I reach the finish line, its HEAVENLY.

Triathlon is something I always enjoy because it trains endurance and it also provides great satisfaction upon completion. If you have not tried, do so! Beware though * Its addictive!
