fuck off 2016!

I can't wait to say goodbye or even a fuck off to 2016, this is one shitty year. My Work everything start from the day my boss got 'Let Go' in January. It's a very well setup and it's a shock to our team and the organisation. Indeed he is one of the tough boss I've been worked with, sometime even a difficult person, after all these years, I admitted the way he keep challenging you and keep yourself learning and growing. Yes, he is also a difficult person to the peer, he is a guru, he likes to build a rocket and make impact, he is definitely not a Yes man, not many people like him, even in the industry, that's why he need to go.... Then the management team gave me a fault impression about something like going to promote a local staff to lead the time, blah blah blah, then there was about 3 months of empty period and like a race situation to make yourself outstanding and then another 2 months of waiting during the selection process, then in May the announc...

C&G 8th wedding anniversary trip - Bari - Oslo - Roma

C&G 8th wedding anniversary trip - Bari - Oslo - Roma We started our journey on 13 Sept by flying business class to Rome, it was very nice to redeem all the mileage and top up few thousands for the buzz class enjoyment, the newly designed CX pier lounge at HK airport was also a very classy experience!  Feel like we could spend a whole evening there! The greatest thing by flying business class in long haul is, I could get some good sleep and arriving next day morning fresh, we then transited to Bari by another one hour flight by Alitalian airline, at the transit, surely i need to look for a mobile carrier for a 4G SIM card - TIM. And there was a piano right at our boarding gate and it was a total European experience to have casual adhoc live music by whoever can play a moment. Arriving at Bari at 11am as we expected, get a car we hired on Eurocar, just quick and easy, then we got the Audi A3, setup my Google GPS and started our first taste of Italian driving experience...

My 2015

I spent many time at training and hope to get the best time at half ironman race, sometime you spent the effort but not getting the paycheck, maybe it just not the right time. I kicked off my training from Jan for the Challenge Taiwan half in late April, I ran my PB at China Coast half marathon, at the time I was going to ramp up my training volume I got flu attack, that was long and irritating, eventually down for 3 weeks, DNS for the first target race . When the team went party and chill out, I was rebuilding my fitness and aiming for another PB attempt at 70.3 Taiwan at Kenting in November. I re-used the same training schedule, just this summer was especially hot and I never had a good session at Happy Valley, every run session was hot like in the hell and my injury in Achilles Tendon still very annoying ! Approaching the race day, body was ready, mind was not, no feel good session to boost my confident and not resilient enough for the change of race venue and dynamic condition....

Ironman 70.3 Taiwan 2015 - Mind Game

The 6th edition of this race at Kenting, my fourth half ironman triathlon. I expected a stronger performance and chasing another PB, especially this could be the last 70.3 at Kenting such a challenging course! The race venue had been stabled in the last 5 years and we thought everything should be remain. The frustration began when the swim course change to 20km away from South Bay, and then 1 week before they change from 2 loop swim to 1 loop swim. Sometime things not always going as planned. This is how the story began. New swim course at 車城海口, 1 loop swim 800m to the middle of the ocean Usual Kenting loop, the small segment got removed due to high wind, mostly flat with a bit of rolling Run all the way south, after Yoho, 4km to the turning point, fully exposed to the heat Race Day - 1 The wind started picking up, we arrived at the swim course, rode the first 5km and back, the crosswind and gust wind was so strong that could blow you away, it was stro...
