As the countdown to Cebu draws down, I'm really running out of time to clock the mileage required to finish the race comfortably.
Swim - Definitely not an issue anymore. With much improved technique, I'll probably will swim much faster and easier than any previous races, even if my fitness is optimal. Did a 1.5km pool swim ytd and clocked around 32min. Guess I should be targeting to clock 40min for the 1.9km OWS in Cebu. A good 9 to 10 min faster than the last 70.3
Cycle - Always the biggest problem for me. Trying to clock more hours and mileage on the saddle. Gotta grind the indoor trainer more and ride outside more often in the early morning during weekdays. At least it is an improvement from previous races that I don't restrict myself to riding outside only on weekend mornings.
Run - Traditionally a non-issue for me. Just have to put in the miles with good form and perhaps I can target to complete the run leg below 2h30m as a conservative estimate. Not doing enough brick trainings yet so it is still hard to tell how I'll manage the T2 transitions this time.

Will be making a work trip to KL this weekend together with my head coach to conduct swimming classes. It will be interesting and I can gain more exposure and get first hand knowledge on expanding the swim business outside of SG. This will be an important step to determining if the swim business will be a good alternative career to pursue.
