I'm fulfilled that I've achieved my target to take part in triathlon, however, since I started something, there's a new wish that grew in me to continue this. It's not easy to continue due to my age. However I really appreciate that I managed to spend such a quality holiday time with Famaey family.
They asked me to come over again next year, but looking back this whole year, I'm not so confident I can continue to challenge myself.
On the other hand, when I was thinking about doing a triathlon in my country since I've managed to debut overseas, I found out that there's one: Yokohama Seaside Triathlon. Looking at the last year's records, I felt like I can perhaps take part and finish the race.
Also, it'll be interesting to compare domestic and international events so I've suggested to my son, and he easily accepted it.
I haven't practiced much this time, apart from swimming once a week.
I've borrowed a wet suit in Belgium, but this time I decided to purchase one. The cheapest one was on the triathlon website, so I'm going for that. My son's bicycle is small and old, so he decided to buy a new kit. Which includes bicycle, helmet and wet suit so I thought it was a bargain.
In Belgium, I borrowed a bicycle (mountain bike) so to get used to that I cycled 20km two days before the race which resulted in exhaustion. So this time, I am not going to exercise too hard within a week time from the race.
The name list has been published here.
There are 173 people who are over 50s, which is many (in Belgium there were only 3 people). I'm already excited to see what kind of race this will turn out to be!
