Triathlon = longevity?

Hey all, this aint’ base on a science report. This is just my own experience of the past three years as I entered into the world of multisports.

Back then, I would eat without a care of the world.

Now, I become cautious on what I eat. Not that I am over analyzing on what to avoid. I simply pick a lot of fruits and veges, less on the junk food (McDonalds, Burger King etc.) and maintain a good amount of meat (not a lot of buffet thanks you).

A while back, a friend mention to me that, “I ain’t discipline like you to change my diet.” I don’t think I am discipline at all. I didn’t change my diet b/c of my liver transplant. I am glad though that I discover triathlon and through the sport, I realize why I need to eat healthier. And now, the diet becomes a lifestyle.

On the drive to Rhode Island two weekends ago, I stopped off at a service station to look for fruits. I am so glad they have apples.

This season, I ain’t as disciple as two years ago. Not that, I am stuffing fast food in my face. I just enjoy going for ice cream after a run :D.

Triathlon might not save my life. The liver transplant did. Through the change of diet and importance on health through the sport, I should lengthen my lifespan by a bit. You know what that means..more fun on the bike =D

Today, checking over the Canada Olmypic Transplant site, I saw my name in the participants list. Yes! So I am in. I asked my supervisor for days off and got approval as well.

One of the games is a 8 km Bike Time Trial. All I can imagine is Tour De France time trials :). Granted I don’t have a aero helmet. But I will be ripping the field with my Cervelo Dual.

In the mean time, I dislocated my pinky toe over the weekend and it swelled on Sat. Dang I can’t believe a little toe can bring so much pain. After much icing and iberprofin, today it is much better. These few weeks will be getting my legs back to running.

Dusting off this blog

I have been blogging since 2005. That’s almost 20 years! Though not very consistent. What started with a triathlon blog turned into a Christian blog. And I stopped blogging in 2011 after I came to Singapore. These days, I’ve shared most of my thoughts on social media (Facebook, Instagram and

Fruit for thought: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

I recently finished listening to the whole series of podcasts on The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. It has been a sobering podcast to listen to. I highly recommend for those who are in seminary or going to ministry full-time to listen to. It is a good reminder that

Five Books Recommended for Christian Parents
