9th Entry - 20th July 05

Date: 20th July 2005 (Wednesday)

Time: 1700hrs

Training Description: 4.0km (target was 8.0km)

Target Duration: 20mins 00secs (40mins 00secs)

Achieved Duration: 19mins 38secs

Terrain: Sungei Gedong Camp ATC Track

Comments: Okay, this is without a doubt my worst workout since I started this log. Was the DO today, but managed to get Chong Hian to stand in for me again. Based on the time I had before I promised him that I would return, I should have at least 40mins, enough to complete a 8.0km based on my previous timing.

Well, should have is the key word. Muscles all felt totally cramped up, was breathless, and totally out of rhythm. Decided to cut it down to 6.0km, before cutting it down to 4.0km. Even then, still felt like a really taxing, exhausting workout. I think I may have reached a plateau already. Perhaps toning down my training for awhile may help get my body back into focus.

Tomorrow: Light swim
