Nippon style aquathon....Hait!

Nurina

Norizan


Hannan

The Japanese International School Aquathon in Saujana , KL was held on the 1st Nov. 2008. Norizan got a surprising 3rd. What was also surprising was Norizan was the youngest in the category..strange!! During her cycling days, she had to race against girls almost half her age.
the Japanese have a strange way of counting laps. Where I come from a lap would be from one end to another. The Japanese seem to regard a lap as " start from one end and return to the same end" That did cause some confusion . The lap counters did help by whacking the swimmers on the head with a kickboard to tell you that you had finished the swim.
Hannan did OK too. she finished in 22nd with two boys behind her. To her that's an accomplishment! I didn't help her in transition too. I'm positive she's the fastest in transition. Wish she could be as fast changing into her school uniform...
just got word there's the Chin Woo aquathon in 18th Dec...
Stay tuned....
