The Fit February of 2014
It requires a little insanity to make an implusive decision to sign up a gym membership. Yes!! It's so true, when gym was not my top favourite 3 sports. Yet, with a new goal to keep myself fit, I guess such insanity could force me to train, to become a little better. =)
Well, I signed up for Anytime Fitness - a gym that is opened for 24hrs 7 days. Its unique selling point is definitely its 24hrs operation, where you could visit the gym at any time of the day. Once, I went to do my workout at 3am and that feeling was great. Besides the peace, I really pushed myself hard enough before heading down to work.
Sadly, the gym training was halted over the past week due to work duties and my swim competition. I am still feeling the fatigue but I guessed I had felt better after tons of rest. It was literally sleeping, again and again.
Meanwhile, it was a relief that the swim competition was over last week. I wondered was it due to my gym training or pure motivation that I had did exceptionally well for my individual and team events.
I was involved in the following 4 swim events:
- 50m Butterfly
- 200m Individual Medley
- 4 x 50m Medley Relay
- 4 x 50m Freestyle Relay
On the good side, I was happy that I've maintained my timings, especially on my butterfly. However, I was even more glad that I had swim a little faster than before.
I was placed as the only representative for the event, competing against the elites but I managed to pull through the event, positioning myself at the 6th (50m butterfly) and 5th (200m I.M.) respectively.
I am no Michael Phelps but I am a sportman who aims to give my best shot in everything I do. Maybe, that is my own motto of life.
Well, at least all sport events are over, it is now the time to continue training. The time is now.
