Picture - 1 - Result speaks for itself for Brendan who took part in Olympic Distance.
Brendan Lee took part in Bintan Triathlon 2012 (Indonesia) and came in 2nd in his age category in Men Open. This is the feather in the cap for Flexifitness as Brendan, although he has been very busy doing an internship for so long, was able to deliver by coming in second. I am happy to have a training partner like Brendan. We wish him good luck in the future. http://www.bintantriathlon.com/race-results.php
How did you train for the race?
I swam 3x a week, bike 3x a week and ran 4x a week to prepare for the race.

Did you have enough time to prepare for the race?
I did not have enough time to prepare for the race as I was only
confirmed for the team about 5 weeks from the race and could only train
properly for about 3 weeks.
What kind of time were you going for?
What kind of time were you going for?
Due to my lack of preparation, I
expected a time between 2.32 to 2.35. Which is the same or slightly
slower than my time last year.
What is your next goal?
I will be on an exchange
program till the beginning of next year and will probably only do some
recreational races while I'm in Europe.
Will you be taking part in Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2012?
Will you be taking part in Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2012?
No. I will still be overseas during that period.
Will you be taking part in Ironman in the future?
Will you be taking part in Ironman in the future?
I intend to do an Ironman down the road but perhaps not in the next 2
years. Doing an Ironman requires serious commitment to training for at
least 6 months and I do not foresee myself having that much time in the
next year.
What is your long term goal for your life goal?
My long term goal is to be fit and healthy and take part in the triathlon, cycling and running races for as long as possible. Although probably not at an elite level.

Are you happy with the time?
I did a 2.35 which falls in line with what I was aiming for. In
addition, I was knocked down by a car one week before the race while I
was out cycling and injured my hand as a result. Given those circumstances, I guess I am happy with my result.
