ahh sabbac end liao T_T
wish it could last longer..
nearly cried this morning, teared alot.. giamsy showed us this video of the Ironman triathlon. the Ironman triathlon comprises of a 38km swim, 180km cycling and a final 42km run. there'll be an ironman triathlon held on one of the hawaii islands for the best triathletes from all over the world. last year, there was a truly touching life story. rick hoyt became a vegetable when he was just a child, he couldn't move very well and couldn't speak, but he was able to communicate with others through a computer designed for him. rick takes parts in road races and triathlons with his dad, dick hoyt, an ex-military man. his dad will complete the race together with him as both loved the feeling and adrenaline
rick,"it feels as if my disabilities are gone".
last year, dick wrote in to apply to participate in the ironman competition, the dad and son team were successfully. dick pulled along a lifeboat with rick inside as he swam 38km, cycled 180km with rick seated in front and ran 42km while pushing rick. it's truly remarkable.. would you be able to do that?
a quote from dick hoyt, "when you put your mind to something, decide you want to do it, nothing is impossible"
oh yeah, i rmbed what i forgot to blog about ytd.. i got in OB Australia term 2.. yeah first choice =D
gd luck to dotA comp team tmr
