Ching Hong called for a AGM for the crazy2tri group today. We were invited to the Borneo Motor's cafeteria where it serves some delicious local food - fish head curry, claypot toufu etc.
There must be about at 30 of us present. This AGM didn't need a quorum to start, so nobody counted. Being Singaporean, we were all going for the food. Ching Hong had to bring our focus back to the objective of the meeting. Within one minute, we voted for Kok Aun (absent) to be the president, Boon Pin as the resident coach and Dr Andrew Loy as our team doctor.
Then came the planning of events and checking who is going for what : China Ironman, Port Macquarie Ironman, Sun-down marathon, Bintan Tri, Aviva 70.3, Stanchart marathon, Western Aus Ironman, 09 Langkawi Ironman, 09 China Ironman. The two most subscribed events are the Aviva 70.3 (by default all to go) and China Ironman 09.
Then it was all over.

Terence : More rest needed
Yesterday was my first ride after my Langkawi Ironman. My knee was still a bit sore but I decided to go ahead with the ride at 6.15am. There were eight of the crazy2tri guys.
During the ride, I asked Andrew Loy (our Doc) about my knee soreness. He said it's the inflammation of the tendons. After the 63km ride, I felt tightness around the top of my right knee. There wasn't any pain, thank God.
Today, I detected a slight swell around top right knee. I did some googling and found out that my symptom fitted that of Quad tendonitis. This particular site (iTendonitis.com) gives a pretty good insight into Quad tendonitis.
The article says : "The best way to start to treat your quadriceps tendonitis is to rest. Best will allow the tendon to repair and the inflammationto go down. In most cases you will have to rest the affected area for about 4-6 weeks. It's important that you let your quadriceps tendon fully recover." (And it shall, in Jesus' name.)
It's not a coincidence that I have been listening to a recent sermon by my pastor on "REST". The bible equates "the promise land, which flows with milk and honey" to "Rest". God wants us to rest by believing on the perfect and completed work of Christ on the cross.
Guess I will take it easy for the next 2-3 weeks.
