Rinsing your cottage cheese? A excerpt from the book “Good to Great“: ..We came to call this the “rinsing your cottage cheese” factor. The analogy comes from a disciplined world-class athlete named Dave Scott, who won the Haiwaii Ironman Triathlon six times. In training, Scout would ride his bike 75 miles, swim 20,000 meters, and run 17 miles – on average every...
Nuts…not anymore 🙂 One of the reason my old comp is dead is b/c of a failed hard drive. I have about a month worth of training and nutritional data in there. NUTS!! There is some personal stuff on there too. Gone is gone. [Updated: W00t!! Just fixed the problem. Will is a smart man :-D.] I have been conversing with Brad Seng. He is a pro Ironman. He is also a Christian as well. I asked his...
Woke up late…and numbers to geek it upI tried to justify what went wrong and I can’t find any. I just stayed up later than I should. Bummed around watching tv and slept at 10:20 pm. Plan to get up at 4:45 am. Got up at 6 am. Go to the community centre by 6:20 to do my long run. Need to get back by 8 am. On the way there..the mind is talking me out of the run.. “You know you...
It’s all about the shoes… Last night, I tried on the Gel 1100 that I bought on Sunday at Around the Bay. Geez, they felt great. I did a little warm up before my work out. I had a 6-7 min jog. The plan was to do a 15 min warm up run and as well as test the shoes. I didn’t realize that some lady signed up my treadmill and kicked me out a few min later. My mistake. I didn’t...
So how was your weekend? Sat – Long ride – 4 hr 16 minSun – Ran part of the Around The Bay with Melissa (she was doing the relay)– swim drills 40 min in the afternoon Around The Bay is a 30 km race. My original plan was to meet up with Jon and run the first 10 km with him. Then meet Melissa at the 10 km mark and run with her. The morning I realized that if I ran with...
Competition. Hey guys, just going to do a quick blur about this before I head out. What I found the most fascinating about this topic is that most ppl don’t want to talk about it. I think competition is under-rated. I mean, when I mention it, most ppl think “back stabbing”, “everyman for himself” that kind of competition. To me, competition is neutral. It is how we...
Why do you want to work at Dell? As silly as it sounds, this is the question i kinda got stump on. My phone interview did rather poorly. The interviewer is expecting analyst experience and I was throwing out technical experiences like there is no tomorrow. I did learnt a few things….I am very surprise at how much they are willing to pay. My salary expectation is 45 k. They ask for 60 k...

The pre-tri tri Hey all, I am trying to get my swimming rock videos up on youtube.com. Having technical difficulties. The videos are turning very blocky. I don’t know if I am using a bad compression or low res. Anyway, right now I am uploading one as we speak. I hope it will be good so i can link it here. Just reading from Nancy‘s blog, I realize i have a tri to do this weekend. It is...
MAN UP… Sorry guys, no videos yet. I left my digicam at home and comp is still not fix yet. I do die for not going on the net (blogging). But it frees me a lot of time to train and what not.
