TJC OAC Duathalon 2008 - Everything in the Power of 2

Yeah.. that's the slogan for this year's duathalon.. Quite cool sia.. But why not just say.. "Everything squared." Short, precise and makes ppl think why.. then when they do.. they're be like "OMG thats so..." haha..

The duathalon today was quite fun la.. though i pissed off my partner lol. I haven't biked since Sec 1.. nearly 5 years ago.. lol.. and I have never used gear bikes before.. Haha.. 4 of us, 2 teams from the same class, met at the bus stop at 7am and walked to the meeting area together.. We were nearly late =P

The guys category got split into 2 waves, we're in the 1st wave with 45 pairs.. The route goes like that - 3km run by runner, 15km bike by biker, then finish off with 3km run by runner.. My partner ran and came back within top 15.. Then I went off whee.. I came back last.. On my way back, bikers from the 2nd wave overtook me.. LOL.. My partner was the last one left waiting for the biker to come back.. haahaha.. He took off after swearing a bit.. then he came back 3rd last.. Imba sia.. lol.. Anyway, after the whole thing.. we camped till 10am to collect the goodie bag then we zhao to eat lunch then go home..

The goodie bag wasn't much of a big deal.. December issue of Teens, 4 mini cookies from P.Osh, many many vouchers of companies which I either never heard before or never bought from before, a overseas travel safety guide (WTH?), a duathalon participant shirt, a puma cap... Overall the only useful and worthy items are the cap and the shirt.. mine was the biker one.. the runner's shirt design slightly different on the back.. the shirt design quite nice too =)

Here's some pics of the goodie bag (I took it at home with my phone haha):


The shirt, the cap and the puma plastic bag! The 2nd picture show the back of the duathalon shirt.. Bikers have 2 wheels with wings on it.. Runners have a funny looking shoe with a wing on it. Reminds me of the Boots of Travel in DotA and the ancient Greek magical running shoes thingy.. haha!



Oh look. Sloggi voucher! Whee.. I shall go and check it out sia.. lol..
Why don't they give guys Kelvin Klein's man's underwear vouchers.. So sexist.. So much for gender equality.. Sigh.. So disappointed in today's society..
