Refocus and make new strengths!! #swimgoals🏊 💥 5th AG 🏊‍♂️ #t100singapore 💥 5th AG 🏊‍♂️ #ironman703cebu Mar”24 was pure depressing being unable 🏃‍♂️ or 🚴‍♂️ - I turned to 🏊‍♂️ as an outlet, where I was good at but could never really make a big lead and took me half the 🚴‍♂️ leg to even make it anywhere close the front . With 15-20km 🏊‍♂️ weeks I was able to actually focus on this discipline for a good 6 weeks- and was able to realize gains I never knew were possible for me at least !! 2 big races were I went in with goals on the 🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ saw me at the front of the race sooner than I expected and ended the bike as well with a good lead , now I know the trick to carry this form forward to when I start 🏃‍♂️ actually in the races . More importantly swim is a great sport to keep up the aerobic capacity , maintain the musculature and even push for high intensity with minimal injury risk- provided you do the right sets of course! #tritezzathletes #purposeperformancewear #triathlon #ironman703 #ironman703training #rokaswimskin

All the best to friends racing at @ironman70.3vietnam tmrw, after 2 years at this race sitting this year out but here are my tips to ace the course !!! 🏊‍♂️ draft draft draft …and push the pace on the exit and catch some 🌊 out !! 🚴‍♂️ pace the winds well , you cannot escape them and don’t crib about them please they are part of the course ! Go easy on the bridge and enjoy the views . Save enough fuel to get back to T2 on the last 15 km it gets very hot 🥵!! 🏃‍♂️ this is very the races gives it back to you hard !! Go easy the first 10km trust me this strategy never fails on this course it gets super hot post 10:30 am , so pace and fuel well and stop at each aid station . Push hard on the last 5km and - if you are here to race move places up fast on the backend !! Fuel well and keep the 🧊 flowing ! Enjoy the race and attack hard when you do !! #godspeed

#ironman703cebu 8th AG on the day - nope it was not a bad day it was a “good day” for me breaking the tape in 5:05 after what has been a painful and a long rehab journey . If you follow me you know by now that I get my A game when I toe any start line and race my heart out . This was no different - 🏊‍♂️ 5th AG and 🚴‍♂️ 4th AG and started a run on legs that had not seen any running in 7 weeks - my first outdoor run and second run only, trusted my muscle memory and heat tolerance ability to stay in hunt till 15th km when the legs blew up into a pain riot and seized muscles around my injured hip - it was a painful hobble back to finish line with some cheering from friends on the home stretch - a 1:51 HM is not shoddy at all but not enough for me when I know I could have won 🏆- from a DNF to a walking race at PTO to this has been a true test of resilience for me. And am happy with my B form right now and cannot wait to see the result when am at my A game . Consistently my 🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ are getting me to the top ranks just get this leg fixed and get back on the 🏆 soon !! The 🎯 for this race was to push within limits on 🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ and 🏃‍♂️ to my best ability- a Taupo 70.3 WC slot did come calling but I don’t feel I deserve it yet - so maybe another race to earn it and more importantly race like I know I can .

#determined - it is always about how we get back up and #notstaydown with well wishes and support 🦵✨- I pulled through a painful 5 weeks of rehab recovery to be able to cycle again and stay true to me dreams of starting at #t100triathlon #singapore with 2 weeks of 🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️ and a focussed mindset I was able to pull off a solid 80km 🚴‍♂️ split on a technical hard course where each skill was out to test . And I do need count this as a big 🏆 for me;✨ 💥2nd fastest AG bike split 💥5th overall in AG bike split It was a stacked field and am happy to continue my rehab and get back to 🏃‍♂️ as fast as I can off the bike in the next 4 weeks !

This one came back too fast / felt only a short time ago that I had done #ptoasiaopen well now we have #t1002024 . From limping around 5 weeks ago to be able to 🏊‍♂️ and 🚴‍♂️ had been a progress enough for me. I know I will be extremely frustrated not able to run 🏃‍♂️ out there tmrw but don’t want all the recovery work undone and yet allow a bit more time for my hip to@come back the 🏃‍♂️ back@half of the year - for now I will take it toe the line and will be 🚴 my heart out !!
