Omg I’m flying off tomorrow for the Ironman 70.3 Phuket! It’s time to visit the pain caveeeee, whew. Phuket will always be special to me because it was where my Ironman 70.3 journey started last November. This unexpected journey has brought me to new places physically, emotionally (lots of pain) and mentally... and I’m sure there’s more to come. #roadtoIM703phuket #zcoaching #triathlon #triathlete #trifit #trilife #trilove #trigirls #getfit #lovefit #fitforlife #fitness #fitnesseveryday #instafit #igfit #ironmantri #ironmantraining #activelife #activeliving #getactive #fitgirls #asiangirls #cheryltayworksout

I was keen to try this bike-run-bike format, hence I signed up for this 113-TriFactor Bike-Run-Bike race. It starts with a 60km bike leg, followed by a 13km run and then a 40km bike leg at the end. •
We did 3 loops of 20km first and it was pretty cool ‘cause the main road was closed for us so there was a lot of space. The 113 category I was in had a nondrafting rule but I saw many in groups!!! Anyway, there were a few bridges (which means slopes), but other than that it was mostly flat so lots of aero time. •
The run route was a bit tight - for the first half of the run, we ran along the narrow paths of the river and I had to keep turning and twisting and going up/down steps. After that we ran into some small roads so it was ok. But then there was the large slope near the end of the route, wah lao! And water at the stations weren’t chilled :( •
This is the first time I’m cycling after a run and I didn’t know how it feels like, so I wasn’t sure how to pace. I just ran at a comfortable pace so I could save my legs some for the last bike leg. •
When I first got back on the bike, the legs felt a bit funny. Hahahaha! Cycling after running hurts too, but after a while you get back into a rhythm and it’s fine. Nothing is more painful than running off the bike I feel! •
Fortunately the weather was overcast today so it was the most forgiving race I’ve ever had. I didn’t even need to wear my shades much! Heng ah. •
So, I’m grateful for another safe race and am getting excited for IM70.3 Phuket in exactly 3 weeks! #roadtoIM703phuket #113trifactor #cheryltayworksout #iamspecialized #specializedsg
