I was comfortable thru’out the swim. Concentrated on my strokes and the swim did not feel too long. I dipped below 30 minutes for first time in PD. I felt strong out of water and charged thru’ T1 (compared to feeling dizzy and disoriented in previous races).

I was not in my best form on the bike. A pack of fast rider comprising Don Khor, Simon Lau, Jij Soon and a few others caught me shortly after about 5km. Saw them coming from behind and launched myself to the back of the pack when they zoomed pass. Found the pace a little too fast and was dropped after a few km. Shortly after I was dropped, Simon Cross flew pass pulling a relay rider with him. He was simply too fast and before I could react, he was already long gone. I rode most of the remaining bike leg with 2 other riders.

Another pack of riders caught up in the last 5km (Edwin Ng was in that pack). I managed to tag along and finished the ride with them. My average bike speed was 33.9km/h.

I had a smooth transition at T2. And unlike during the rehearsal 2 weeks ago, I made sure I took off my helmet before I ran off.

When I was 3 – 4 km out on the run course, the elites were already running back in the opposite direction. The u-turn was way beyond the entrance of the Avillion and Zaitun building (I think we u-turned at the Avillion in last year’s race). I caught Jacky Loh and Moh shortly after the u-turn. I pushed harder in the 2nd half of the run leg and finished in a nice negative split.
