Aviva Ironman 70.3 Triathlon Singapore 2008

Thursday, September 11, 2008

7 September Sunday, Yen Yen, Selena and I accompanied our Triathlon Man, Terence to Playground at Big Splash in East Coast Park for his Aviva Ironman 70.3 Triathlon Singapore in early morning. Even I did not sleep this night at all!!! I was afraid of oversleeping. *Giggles*

Well, he asked me to come and support him for his coming triathlon few days ago before this day of the competition. I was not sure but I could sense he needed our support and motivation in case he feel urge to give up. Besides I wanted to see the procession of triathlon because Yen Yen told me her experience as she accompanied him to different competitions so I decided to go.

While he was cycling in his bike leg, we went to a restaurant for having our lunch as Yen Yen and Selena missed their breakfast. After this, we stayed and chatted for a while and then Wendy joined us. Yen Yen wanted to go back to transit area to check whether he completed his bike leg or not. So we followed her however Wendy and I separated from gals because we were waiting for Barry meet us. This caused us missed the action of Terence get ready for his run leg at transit area. Thanks to Selena managed to shot of him.

While he was running, we went to Carl's Jr and sat down. Barry and Wendy ordered their food for lunch. The rest and I ordered our drinks due to hot weather. In the while we were chatting to catch up with each other. In one hour later we went to the finish line to wait for Terence. Busy camwhore and chatted.

Wendy and Barry left for their appointments together while we stayed back with Terence because he had to collect his award. Beside this, we could go home together since we live in the East. Sigh~ I was very exhausted as I did not sleep. My upper eyelids were heavy so I took a short nap.ZZZzzzz...In the moment, I woke up and got ready for Terence's receiving his award. In my mind, I wanted SLEEP!!! We went to a big tent and ate food from the buffet.
