Who so wayang would want to join a Biathlon. Biathlon is just a combination of some different sport.
NUS Biathlon is Swim and Run.
I got the opportunity to got a free entry to this NUS Biathlon in the Novice category. It a 400m Swim plus a 2.5km of Run.
I got this on Wednesday when my Girlfriend ask me say got a free entry to this race. Since I never play this kind of race before, and it free. I say ok. And the Race is on Saturday. I think if for anyone will think you need to prepare for it. But for me it just a race, same like any half, full or Ultra run.
To think a race is just a race than you will not get worried or anxiety about it. Just treat it as something you do it so often than you don't really give a dam about it.
So I got email say my Wave is number 8 and need to be at NUS sport Center at 9.30 am for register. I never been to NUS so I get there early to look for motorbike parking.
Enter the Sport Center can see so many young people. So they did email a pdf booklet on what to do.

5, Flagoff the Swim
6, Go transit prepare your Run
7, Run and don't forget take a rubber band
8, Finish and take your timing chip

10, Finish you can do whatever you want.

At the Race what I learn. I think for this kind of race, swimming will be the one many runners will get worried. Cause runners run often but not many swim often. Even it a race in the swimming pool it also very tough for some runners. My swim is 400m mean I need to swim 8 time of the 50m pool. So it flag off and I take my time relax relax slowly use my breaststroke. I can see many swim very fast get a head of me cause all swim freestyle. But who care. Just relax let the volunteer wait and sun tan there. The volunteer will place a colour water bottle into the pool to let me know I got last two laps. No doubt I am the last to come up. But at least I come up. The swim even I relax, after few laps my throat very thirsty. And I feel like spitting. The pool also make me want to pee. Don't worry I never pee in the pool. So I come up and go the transit area I wear my sock and shoe. Clip my waist pouch that my handphone inside. But when I wear my singlet it stuck halfway. Might be because it too tight and I am wet. But never care so I was like wear a bra take a cup of H2O drink it and start to run. At the run I slowly adjust my singlet to roll down if not many will think I am a female runner with beard.
The Run is not easy. Many slopes. As I run I can see many who are Infront me started to walk. So I overtake one by one. Not sure what pace I run but I never stop. Than took a cup of water and the rubber band. Rush back to the finishing line. Even though I don't know the route, the volunteers there are very helpful. You will not get lost.
At the finishing I get my timing chip and give it to the volunteer. The volunteer say after a week than will know the timing. So I take my 100plus and walk walk see see that weflie.
I think this Biathlon most tough is the swimming bah. Cause human is more confident on the ground. In the water like a no man kand that anytime you will just sink in the water. Those who swim in open water, I mean the sea really need to train for that. Swimming is no joke.
