Seems like the number of competitors within my 18-24 age group for the 70.3 is still increasing... I have 47 other competitors now, up from the previous 30 plus. I see like 2 Japanese, 2 Australians, 1 Briton and 1 Phillipino within. Well, I guess the tougher the competition the more worthwhile the training...

But now there's dragonboat this weekend. I think my 70.3 preparation has been kinda half-hearted. Current weekly trend: 1 long run, 2 cycling rides, 0 swims!! Disastrous... Ha ha.
