After today's run.. I really need to get those 2XU tights and also a running bottle belt.. today's run showed me that i can perspire till my shorts get wet and that 1hour into the run, i need some fluid replacement..

Haven't been updating here much lately..

In the midst of a 6 week marathon training plan.. this week is week 2..

tmr shall go for a 2hr run, irregardless of distance.

Confirmed, northern side to fish at jurong lake is full of snags. Not a good place for suspending and sinking lures. Topwater and normal floating crankbaits are recommended but with minimal crank. Lots of structure under the water.

Small 5-6inches sized fish are common in jurong lake and swim in groups. Saw 3, footlong peacock bass caught by an uncle. So there must still be big peacock bass in the water, just need to find the right spot. 

Saw the long stretch of sunset way, looks promising. Will try when i get my bike.

Archery, though shall NOT meddle with grip and add epoxy. It doesn't work for actual shooting. Normal grip is okay. no need to modify. learnt something on blurry sight picture. 

A sight pin/dot should be the main focus and let the target be a blur. Reasons are that the yellow does not move so the main focus should be to place the dot into the yellow circle. Plus, when it's raining or in condition where the target is hard to see (for example, varying distances) it's much easier to focus on the sight pin/dot rather then try to get a clear picture of the target. Changed my sight pin to the one with the fluoro pin.

Fish start to surface at 0930

8km run

47:39minutes..

Started off very slow.. but i like it =)

Developed a new, hopefully more energy efficient, stride..

the idea is to minimise lifting the knees but maintaining a fast flexion at the knee.

Moving the heel closer to the butt, unlocking calf and hamstring muscle potential..

Good Run.

Fishing:

Jurong Lake Northern Promenade.

Banks are lined with trees, caution on the casts.

Water has lots of rubbish, only poppers and topwater lures to be used. Anything other than this, would result in reeling in lots of rubbish.

Rapala X-rap drew in lots of rubbish.

Rattlin Rapala lost due to getting ensnared in rubbish.

Yozuri Arms Popper lost up on a tree due to improper cast.

Skitter Pop fun to use and has lots of control and good action, better than Yozuri Popper.

Catch Report = 0

Pasir Ris Beach.

Saltwater luring.

Sungai Api-api sides and Tidebreakers steep inclined walls may get lures ensnared.

Luring from the Beach, ankle deep in water.

High tide moving onto low tide.

Used Rapala X-rap.

Taught Ryan how to fish, while reeling in about 5m to shore, got a medium sized Barramundi. Pic will be up soon.

Another angler got a big catfish in a similar fashion using the same Rapala X-rap.
