Ocean was not to bad for waves or current. I did not get stuck behind any slower swimmers. I could not find anyone near by to draft off of so I was solo the whole way.

Not much. Swim more before the event for better endurance

T1 went really well for me. I was 20th overall out of 766 so I executed well. I passed a bunch of people just walking or slow jogging out with their bikes.

I could get a little faster on the mounting of the bike. It was good but not perfectly fluid.

Bike went as well as my current fitness could support. No major issues with pace or traffic.

Bike more leading up to event to improve fitness level.

Again passed a lot of racers that were walking their bikes into transition. I went without socks for the run and did not have any issues. I had applied bodyglide prior to the start and it paid off.

Nothing. Run faster if I can.

I was quite happy with the run. I was out due to injury for 9 weeks and have only been running about 5 weeks. I expected a bit slower 5K but I was able to push a little at the turn around and then kick it in gear with 1K left. I had a sprint finish and passed a guy right before the line.

Get the mind in gear and suffer a bit more. I might have been able to kick it a bit harder at the turn around but since I hadn't been running much I waited. Overall I am pleased with the split.

Grab some water and ice, kept movign and stretched the knees and hip flexors.


Only 5 weeks back running after injury definitely slowed the run. Travel has limited the amount of time on the bike and swim.


The after race drinks and activities are typical of what I have seen at most races in Singapore, aka not much going on. The great part of this event was that they had the results ready right away. They even sent a text message with your finish time. The results had all the splits (including T1 and T2 - which get left off alot). Overall a well run event. I will try to do this again next year.
