42 Days left till Triathlon and 68 Days till GMAT

Counting down the days to each event is a good thing. It provides that sense of urgency and set timelines for each event. Reading works of John Wooden before sleep also helps. I guess there is no time to do some leisure readings. "Commanding Heights" and "Red Storm Rising" would have to wait.

Over the weekend, Master Lee and I had another good tri training session. We started even earlier this time at 6:00AM so to dodge the unrelenting heat. 1 mile swim (pool) and 20 plus miles bike came easy to me now, either I am not pushing myself hard enough or I am actually in okay shape for these two diciplines. It is the run that worries me. I am still not in the condition to run at a good pace after the swim and the run, so to compensate, i tried to dash the last 500 yards or so...it was painful. but good pain.

The rest of the sunday consists of sleeping to regain some energy for the rest of the week. I will not train today. GMAT will take priority (in about 15 min. or so). I want to do a 2 and 1/2 drill today. hopefully I can keep up my concentration. Mind over body right?

tomorrow will consist of morning swim with the spiderwoman and afterwork run and weight training session with the Banker. Nonethelss, I would need to squeeze in some GMAT time,


on a sidenote. I wonder if my monk like desire will hurt my social life, which has been quite interesting in the past few month. well, I guess it is a sacrafice I am willing to make.


John Wooden is a great consultation for it.

    You need to shave your head to be a monk.
