The swim was delivered with waves, I was quite lucky that my wave started at around 9am, so it was considered quite early, eventhough the sun was already burning. Thinking that 300meter (6laps) was quite short, I went all out on the swim leg, never in my mind that there's run leg to tackle. Swim was ok, but when I was out of water into the transition area I was like ----Geeee--- so many people had run off... haizzz was I one of the last???? Surprisingly eventhough I was struggling and out of breath, I managed to pass some girls, and kept on telling myself that I could make it. Sun was realy so hot by then, finally I reached the finish line, someone just told me to go back to the pool for resting.
After all my friends were back from the run, we decided to stay back for "Lucky draw", this is the only chance for all of us to get some prize.
Before the Lucky Draw, they read out the winner, I was taken aback when they called my name as 2nd runner up-- 'Kalang Kabut' but very pleased, got trophy and $100,- cheque.

Itching for another biathlon, me and some friends went for NIE biathlon on the 14 Mar 2009. Some friends had mentioned that this race is highly competitive, coz mainly it's interschool championship. Nevertheless, we had tasted that the feeling of completing the 2 disciplines was great, we went ahead with this 800meter pool swim and 5km run. The distance was much more then the Mini Bi that we had earlier, so we were to conserve our strength during the swiming leg.
We started pretty late, about 11am with the swim, by the time we ran, it was scorching hot. I was just happy with the experience and my timing for 1st timer wasn't bad at all 54minutes in total. But I know that I must work on my stroke to cut the time more.
