DAY 3
woke up damn early on this day cuz we had to go take part in Asics Fun Run in Busselton.washed up and went for breakfast before going to the race site to assemble.the fun run made me realise that rv athletes are not the only athletes in the world.even a 6-year-old kid could make the effort to run,not to mention his awesome timing.there was also this 10 or 11-year-old girl who ran 2.5km in 11mins or so.i was like damn awestruck cuz i couldn't even clock 11mins flat for the 2.4 napfa test.after that was the prize presentation ceremony which includes the giving out of lucky draw prizes.emily jared and janice got it!haha.i dunno whether there was other ppl who got it lar,but i only remember these 3.we went to collect our certs and take pics at the site too.we also shopped at the expo where there were many many ascis stuffs.i kinda regretted not buying the asics bottle which was not really ex.nvm...anyway,i also got this thing to wear ard the neck.there was also a mini asics shoe at the bottom with lights flickering on it!haha...after that,we went to shop at busselton.i bought a pair of billabong slippers for my brother and a billabong wallet for myself.we went to the ironman race site after that to assemble and go back to camp.dinner was on our own too.i forgot what we cooked though...debrief followed next and we went to bed at 10 plus.DAY 4
DAY 4 was the highlight of the trip.the ironman race was gonna be held in busselton,Western Australia (abbr. WA).[for those who dunno what's the Ironman race,it consist of a siao 3.8km swim,a mad 180.2km bike and a ultra crazy 42.2km marathon].rv athletes hence were gonna be volunteers in the race,like helping to put the bikes back,passing of water, HIGH 5!,COLA!,banana and cookies to the competitors.i was hoping against hope to c eulee lar.finally,when i was doing my duty at the stand,i saw coach running the marathon.it was huishan,i think,who realised that the guy running past her was mrlee.she shouted out to us and we were like "mrlee jiayou!go mrlee!".haha...the sun was damn hot.the weather in busselton was damn extreme lar.morning was so cold that i had to wear 3 layers.afternoon was so hot that i had to wear only 1 shirt.i even folded up my "mainland" track pants right up to my knees.despite everything i did to keep myself cool,i still felt freaking hot.anyway,we waited for mrlee at the finishing line.we started to get worried when he had not come back at 12 hrs.patiently,we waited until 12hrs and 29mins before we got to see him running back.i felt super relieved when i saw him.i took my camera out and took a pic of him running towards the finishing line.rv athletes cheered like crazy too!haha...after that,we went back to camp for rest and dinner.janice chrislyn and i bought kebab to eat.HAHA.KEBAB makes me laugh.anyway,we had a debrief again and went off to bed at ard 10 plus.DAY 4 rocked most.
