Red Bull 400 Titisee-Neudstat 2021 Race Summary

Heat 2 - 1.12pm. There were a total of 13 Heats (Male), 2 Heats (Female) with each heat up to 50 participants and with a gap of 12 min. The winner of each heat auto Q to Final and next 37 fastest will be q into Final as well.

I was pretty confident on getting into the final, and during the heat, my main objective was to understand the course better, find out the best lane to go up and win the heat to secure the Final Run. The course were wet due to the rain two days ago, the grass at some part are long and deep in. Best is to stay on the part where the grass were short and you can see the mud as it provide more grip.

Took a sachet of Mitoceps an hour prior to my run. I was trying not to go fast but there were one guy ran pretty fast from the start. So I decided to keep a close contact with him and waiting for him to slow down 😅

Indeed after the first 200m mark, I got him and ran past him then got into a steady pace. He stayed right behind me and I continue the same pace and crossed the finishing line first with a time of 4:53 min.

Throughout the run, I was so happy to hear the cheer from the spectators, saying "Go Malaysia". The emcee mentioned few times about my name and from Malaysia as a towerrunner.

After the heat, I went down to the resting zone and did a cold down jog and quickly change and had light lunch provided by the organizer.

Met new friends and we have great chat. There were one female runner came and asked me for some tips and I shared with her some tips. We were have a conversation about the race course and how we can improve it in the final.

After that, I took a 30 min nap with Edifier W820NB on and listen to instrumental music, and with TK sleep mask. To be honest, before this event, I felt mentally exhausted after all the traveling here and there and competitions. It was really tough to go through this stage, where the mind is no longer ready to race. Didn't have enough rest plus traveling with a 3 wheels luggage 😂

Part 2 in the comment section...

The self-criticised, not-good-enough, self-doubting, vulnerable days can be dreadful especially during this difficult times.
When these moments hit, I’ll always take a pause, acknowledge the feelings, be understanding and be patient.
And very often, I have also found myself practicing few things that drastically improve my well beings.
Here, are the 5 things I do regularly to nourish my inner self. Hopefully they will work on you too! ☺️

1. Read.
This sounds cliche, but with all the work and house chores, reading has become one of the few ways I could learn and get inspired. It calms me on a chaotic day, and it trains me to be more focused. My mind could be freed and creative, it’s a form of meditation when I’m lost.

2. Social media detox.
Things can be fun and glamorous here. But at the same time, the negative impacts are real if I spend too much time on social media. I disconnect myself when I just want to reconnect with my inner peace or stay in the present.

3. Sweat.
Blood flow and endorphin boost. For me, four times a week and an hour each time. Exercising and sweating can be great on freshening up my mood.

4. Eat mindfully.
On the weekdays, I practice the rule of “You’re what you eat.” Take lots of greens and avoid non-healthy food which can lead to inflamation and fatigue. By doing so, I could better control my emotions and stay productive the whole day. Well, on the weekends, I do eat naughty food to feed my soul. Ultimately, getting a balance between soul and mental haha.

5. Get a good sleep.
Sometimes I take for granted for being able to sleep. A proper sleep helps me to recharge and take on the next day challenges positively.

「Would」の活用法（総まとめ）
=================================
　
これまで私が生徒さんから最もよくされた質問の一つが「would」の使い方でしょう。wouldを用いた表現は本当に沢山あり、それら全てを説明するのは容易ではありません。そこで今回、過去の記事でも紹介した用法を含め、日常会話において基本となるwouldの用法を、4つの状況毎になるべく分かりやすくまとめてみました。長くなりますが、どうぞ最後まで読んでみて下さい。
　
　
～過去の話をする時～
　
--------------------------------------------------
1) I thought it would rain.
→「雨が降ると思っていました」
--------------------------------------------------
　
過去のある時点で、その先に起こることを予め予測や推測をしていたことを示す言い方です。例えば、「I thought it would rain so I brought an umbrella.（雨が降ると思っていたので、傘を持ってきました）」や「Since I was a kid, I knew I would become a teacher.（私は子供の時から先生になると分かっていました）」のように表現できます。

また、「He said he would _____.（彼が〜すると言っていました）」のように誰かが（過去に）言ったことを他の誰かに伝える状況でも使われます。ポイントは、誰かが何かをすると約束したり、何かをすると意思を述べたことを、他の誰かに伝える状況で用いるのが一般的です。例えば、「He said he would buy coffee for us.（彼は私たちにコーヒーを買うと言っていました。）」や「She said she would talk to him about that issue.（その問題について、彼女は彼に話すと言っていました）」という具合に使われます。
　
✔Wouldの後は動詞の原形がフォロー。
　
＜例文＞
　
When I met my wife 5 years ago, I knew I would marry her one day.
（５年前に妻と出会った当初から、私たちは結婚すると思っていました。）
　
I never thought this proposal would go through.
（この提案が通らないことは最初から分かっていました。）
　
She said she would come to the party.
（彼女はパーティーに来ると言っていました。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2) She would not help me.
→「彼女は手伝ってくれようとしませんでした」
--------------------------------------------------
　
Wouldの後にnotを付け、否定文（Would not）にすることで「〜しようとしなかった」という意味になります。基本的に何かしらの依頼や申し出に対し、乗り気じゃない、協力的じゃない、積極的に応える意欲がない、などのニュアンスで断ったことを表します。例えば、親に何度も仕送りをして欲しいと頼んでるが、いっこうにしてくれない状況では「My parents would not send me money.（私の両親は、仕送りをしようとしてくれない）」と言うことができます。

また、人に限らずテレビやパソコン、車などの機能に対してもwould notを使うことができます。例えば、「今朝、車のエンジンがかかりませんでした」は「My car would not start this morning.」となります。
　
✔肯定文にしても「〜してくれた」とはならず、意味が変わってしまうので注意。「My parents would send me money」と言うと「両親が仕送りをしてくれた」とはならずに、「両親が（何度も）送金した」を意味する。詳しくは下記の3)の解説を参照。
　
＜例文＞
　
I asked him many times but he would not tell me what happened.
（彼に何回も聞きましたが、何が起こったのか教えてくれませんでした。）
　
My girlfriend is really upset with me. She would not talk to me.
（彼女は私に怒っていて口をきいてくれませんでした。）
　
I charged my phone but it would not turn on.
（携帯を充電したけど電源が入らなかった。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
3) In the summer, I would go camping with my friends.
→「夏によく友達とキャンピングに行っていました」
--------------------------------------------------
　
過去によくやっていた行動パターンや習慣を表す際にもwouldが使われ、used to（よく～したものだ）と似たような役割を果たします。しかし、used toの場合は、習慣となっている行動がより高頻度なもので、且つ“今はもうしていない”ということを強調するニュアンスがあるのに対し、wouldの場合は、習慣となっていた行動頻度が週1回であろうと年1回であろうと、その頻度には関係なく「よく〜した」ということが話の趣旨となります。例えば、「When I was a kid, my grandmother would bake cookies.（子供の頃、私の祖母はよくクッキーを焼いてくれていました）」と言うと、クッキーを作る頻度ではなく、祖母がクッキーを作ってくれていたことが要点になります。それに対し、「私は高校生の頃、毎日サッカーの練習をしていました」と言いたいのであれば、used toを使って、「I used to practice soccer every day in high school.」と言うのが適切です。“毎日練習していた”ことが強調され、且つ“今はもう練習をしていない”ことが相手に伝わります。
　
✔過去の“状態”を表す場合はwouldではなくused toを使う。例えば「過去にオートバイを持っていました」は「I used to have a motorocycle.」と言い、「I would have a motorcycle」とは言わない。
　
＜例文＞
　
When I lived in Japan, I would go out drinking almost every week.
（日本に住んでいた頃、ほぼ毎週飲みに行っていました。）
　
Sometimes she would come over and cook Mexican food for us.
（時々、彼女はうちにきてメキシカン料理を作ってくれました。）
　
During the winter, I would get together with my friends and do a nabe party.
（冬に友達とよく鍋パーティーをしていました。）
　
　
～仮定の話をする時～
　
--------------------------------------------------
1) If I won the lottery I would buy a house.
→「もし宝くじが当たったら家を買います」
　
架空の話や実際には起こり得ない出来事について話す時にもwouldを使います。一般的に「If _____, I would _____.（〜だったら〜する）」の形式で表現します。例えば、「世界中のどこにでも住めるとしたら、ハワイに住みます」は「If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in Hawaii.」と言います。
　
✔文末に「if I knew」に付け足してもOK。
　
＜例文＞
　
If you could date a celebrity, who would it be?
（もし、芸能人と付き合えるとしたら、誰と付き合う？）
　
I would tell you where she was if I knew.
（彼女がどこにいるか知っていたら教えているよ。）
　
If I found a hundred dollars on the ground, I would take it to the police station.
（もし100ドルを拾ったら交番に届けます。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2) Would you try online dating?
→「あなただったら出会い系サイトを試してみますか？」
--------------------------------------------------
　
相手に“もしも”の質問を投げかける時は「Would you _____?」と表現するのが定番で「あなただったら〜しますか？」を意味します。相手の意見やアドバイスを尋ねる場合は「What would you _____?」と表現します。例えば、「あなただったらどうしますか？」と聞くなら「What would you do?」、販売員に「あなただったら何をお勧めしますか？」と尋ねるなら「What would you recommend?」となります。
　
＜例文＞

Would you date someone older than you?
（あなただったら年上の人とお付き合いしますか？）
　
What would you do? Would you apologize?
（あなただったらどうしますか？謝りますか？）
　
Would you be open to living abroad?
（あなただったら外国に住むのはありですか？）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
3) If I were you I would apologize.
→「私だったら謝ります」
--------------------------------------------------
　
「私だったら〜する」と相手の立場になって何かしらのアドバイスや提案をする場合に使われる表現です。shouldを使った表現よりも控えめに助言したい場合にピッタリの言い回しです。例えば、東京で給料の良い仕事のオファーが入ったが、家族の不幸で地元に引っ越さないといけなくなってしまったと友達に相談され、「私だったら仕事のオファーを断るかな」と言うなら「If I were you I would turn down the offer.」となります。
　
✔日常会話では「If I were you」を省いて、「I would _____」と直接言うことも一般的。
　
✔「If I were in your shoes, I would ______.（私があなたの立場だったら、〜をします」という言い方もある。
　
＜例文＞
　
If I were you I wouldn't go.
（私だったら行かないね。）
　
This milk expired 5 days ago. I wouldn't drink that if I were you.
（この牛乳の消費期限、5日前じゃん。私だったら飲まないよ。）
　
I would call them and ask for a refund.
（私だったら電話して返金を求めるけど。）
　
　
～丁寧・控えめな発言をする時～
　
--------------------------------------------------
1) Would you turn down the volume?
→「音量を下げてくれますか？」
--------------------------------------------------
　
人に何かをリクエストや依頼をする際に「Can you _____?（〜してくれる？）」よりも丁寧にお願いする場合は「Would you _____?（〜してくれますか？）」と表現します。例えば、「この用紙に記入してくれますか？」と丁寧に言いたいなら「Would you fill out this form?」になります。
　
✔より丁寧な言い方が「Would you mind _____?（〜してくれますか？）」。相手に気を使ったとても優しい質問の仕方。
　
＜例文＞
　
Would you close that window?
（あの窓を閉めてもらえますか？）
　
Would you be able to help?
（手伝っていただけないでしょうか？）
　
Would you mind changing seats?
（席を変わっていただけませんか？）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2) Would you like a drink?
→「お飲物はいかがですか？」
--------------------------------------------------
　
相手に「〜はいかがですか？」と何かを丁寧にオファーする際にピッタリの表現が「Would you like _____?」です。顧客や年上の人、または面識のない人に対して何かオファーする場合は、この表現を使うのが最も無難でしょう。例えば、会社に訪れた顧客に「熱いお茶はいかがですか？」と聞く場合は「Would you like some hot tea?」と言います。
　
✔友達や家族など、仲の良い人に対してこの表現はちょっと丁寧過ぎる。親しい関係であれば「Do you want _____?」でOK。
　
＜例文＞
　
Would you like a refill?
（飲み物のお代わりはいかがですか？）
　
Would you like to join us?
（よかったら一緒にどうですか？）
　
Would you like me to drive?
（私が運転しましょうか？）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
3) I would say _____.
→「〜だと思う」
--------------------------------------------------
　
この言い方は自分の意見を述べたり何かを推定する時に使われ「〜だと思う」や「恐らく〜だろう」「〜かな」などに相当する表現です。ハッキリと言い切る感じではなく、物腰柔らかく控えめに発言している印象があります。例えば、「彼女、何歳だと思いますか？」と聞かれた際、相手に失礼ないよう謙虚に意見を述べる場合、「I’d say early thirties. Maybe 32.（30代前半だと思う。32歳くらいかな）」という具合に使います。
　
✔日常会話では「I would say」を「I’d say」と省略して言うことが多い。
　
✔大抵の場合、「I think」の代わりに「I’d say」が使える。「I think」よりも控えめな響き。
　
✔必ず答えが求めらるような質問をされた際、決定的な発言や返答を和らげる言い方として「I would have to say _____（〜と言わざるを得ない）」がある。
　
＜例文＞
　
I'd say it's a four to five hour drive.
（車で4時間から５時間くらいかかるかな。）
　
I'd say this logo looks the best. I like the color and simplicity.
（私はこのロゴが一番だと思います。色とシンプルさがいいと思います。）
　
Both speeches were excellent but I would have to say Adam's speech was better.
（二人ともスピーチは素晴らしかったですが、私はアダムのスピーチの方が良かったと思います。）
　
　
～自分の願望を述べる時～
　
--------------------------------------------------
1) I would love to go.
→「是非行きたいです」
--------------------------------------------------
　
「I would love to」は「I want to」と似た意味で「〜を(が)したい」といった強い願望を伝える時に使われれます。「I want to」の気持ちをより強調した言い方です。例えば、同僚に食事を一緒にしないかと誘われた際、「I would love to join you guys for dinner.」と言います。
　
✔相手の誘いを快く受け入れるときに使われる定番フレーズが「I’d love to!（喜んで！）」
　
✔その他、相手の誘いを丁寧に断るときに使われる決まり文句でもあり、「I’d love to ____ but _____（〜したいのは山々なのですが、〜）」が定番フレーズになる。
　
＜例文＞
　
I would love to meet with you next week.
（是非、来週お会いしたいと思います。）
　
I'd love to! What time should I be there?
（喜んで！何時に行けばいいですか？）
　
I'd love to stay and chat some more but I have to get going.
（残ってもっとお話をしたいのですが、そろそろ行かないといけません。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2) I would like to think that ____.
→「〜であると考えたい」
--------------------------------------------------
　
この表現は「真相はわからないけど、そうであって欲しい・・・」のようなニュアンスとして使われます。例えば、Facebookの個人情報の取り扱いに対し、多少の疑いはあるものの情報はしっかり保護されていると信じたいといった気持ちを表す場合は「I would like to think that Facebook protects our personal information.」となります。また、自分の発言や意見を物腰柔らかく控えめなニュアンスにする役割もあります。例えば、「あなたは良い父親だと思いますか？」という質問に対し「I would like to think I’m a good father.」と答えると、「私は良い父親であると考えたいのですが・・・」といった具合に謙虚な響きになります。
　
✔日常会話では「I would」を「I'd」と短縮して言うことが多い。
　
✔「そうだと思いたい」は「I would like to think so.」
　
＜例文＞
　
I would like to think that hard work pays off.
（努力は報われると信じたいです。）
　
I would like to think professional athletes don't use drugs.
（プロスポーツ選手は、薬物を使用していないと信じたい。）
　
I would like to think my English is getting better.
（自分の英語力が上達してるって思いたいや〜ん。）

Training and Nutrition Around The Menstrual Cycle with Ben Siong

A really informative chat with fitness and health expert Ben Siong. For all my sisters, who have always questioned bout why they have irregular periods, why they bloat, why they have painful periods, what's the possible cause for bleeding more than two weeks here's a video that will help explain those questions!

The human body is very complicated and my dear sisters, ours is even more complicated cause we have a thing called the period. Ben is one of the few coaches who takes the time to not only understand the physiology of the body but also the mind which is incredibly crucial. I do hope you take away valueable information from this video, because Ben's had shared a lot of his expertise during this 1 hour. :)

Questions Timestamps:

1:50 We hear a lot from old folks that women shouldn’t lift lower body higher than stomach for optimal reproductive system. Truth or myth?

8:25 Should we train during period?

10:15 Pre period - what to eat to avoid bloating (if ur vegan or vegetarian) so u still have the energy to lift weights?

15:16 What exercises to do pre period so that during menses it’s less painful?

16:55 Why do some cycles end quicker for instance as quick as 4 days? Should she consult the gynae?

21:00 My Personal encounter of bleeding 4 months straight, what would have been the response for excessive bleeding?

24:00 Brief chat on understanding PCOS and PCO

29:27 In a paper "Preliminary Evidence for a Window of Increased Vulnerability to Sustain a Concussion in Females: A Brief Report" the author states that declining or low levels of estrogen and progesterone (specifically in the late luteal phase and first two days of menstruation) can reduce neuroprotection and blunt recovery time from traumatic brain injury symptoms (i.e. concussions). Would those decreased levels of hormones, and reduced neuroprotection also impact CNS recovery? And would female athletes have to then avoid highly taxing sessions/peaking periods during this time frame?

37:11 I've read that lower back pain during menstruation is caused by the uterus swelling which can create pressure on the uterosacral ligaments and lead to pain in the lower back and pelvis. Is this accurate? If so should females generally avoid deadlifts/front squats/lower back intensive exercises during this period? Should they be left out entirely, or replaced by something else?

38:21 Besides the supplementation of magnesium and iron, are there other ways we should change the way we eat around our cycles?

39:48 Personally, I do workout during this period of time & it does make me feel better.
However, I realised that if I perform very high intensity workout on the first two days of my period, I tend to have lesser flow for the month. I feel completely well & healthy but I’m not sure if that’s something I should be worried about

41:53: I have irregular period, in that case what type of training and nutrition I should opt for coach?

Today's makeup tutorial is on my MUST-KNOW tips for sharp winged eyeliner (specifically for flat tapered hooded kinda droopy Asian eyelids like mine). I wanted to make this very beginner friendly so I didn't wear eyeshadow so you can see how I fix my mistakes to get the perfect wing! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*

__________________________________________

TGIF! ᕕ( ՞ ᗜ ՞ )ᕗ How are you all?

This has been one of the most highly requested videos on my channel, probably because 90% of the time I'm wearing makeup, I'll be wearing winged liner. I think it's just more flattering on my eyes since they're slightly downturned.

Now I know my eyes aren't the most hooded or flat, but I think learning how to do a winged eyeliner was my biggest struggle with makeup (even more so than a cut crease). It takes a lot of trial and error and I actually "perfected" my technique by practicing my winged eyeliner every day for 180 “consecutive” days (I wore it every day throughout my junior year of high school lol). I know, super extra, but worth it. ...? ¯\_(ಥ ‿ ಥ )_/¯
Let's just say yes so I feel better about waking up an hour early every day to practice ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬ Or if this tutorial is helpful, we can say I took one for the team so now you can sleep in haha ?

How do you guys like this editing? I try to compete with myself to make each video better than the last and I think this video is a pretty cute winner. I know it's very short but trust it contains all of the info you need to succeed in winging your liner ଘ꒰ ๑ ˃̶ ᴗ ᵒ̴̶̷๑꒱و ̑̑

Oh, and don't judge my nails! They're doing their best ?
Acrylics really damaged them (that's why they're uneven) so I'm letting them grow out. I tried to mask the ugly by using glittery + holographic nail polishes (which I rarely wear) and I kind of like them! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ ˂ᵒ͜͡ᵏᵎ⁾✩

Thanks for watching! I have soooo many videos planned, it just takes forever to edit (I literally stayed up til 3AM for 2 nights just editing this 4 min. video HAHA!) ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚ but thank you for being patient with me!

New vlog where I spend another 2 days at the best beach in Vietnam!!
★ Follow me on INSTAGRAM https://goo.gl/c9ZKgt
★★ Follow me on FACEBOOK https://goo.gl/dyY7S1

These were the last few days of my journey to Vietnam and seeing as I am all about those beach vibes, where better to spend my time than at Hoi An's most gorgeous beach doing some parasailing.

I don't know what it is about the sea, the ocean, all water, that just captivates me, but it is a love affair that I honestly cannot help. Any chance I have to swim in the ocean, you best be sure I'll be the first one in. So spending my last few days at the beach couldn't have been more perfect.


VIDEO CONTENT
_________________

Started the vlog en route to the beach that sits just 10 minutes away from my aunt and uncle's house. The vlog started a little late in the day because we originally planned to travel down to Hue for the day. But when we discovered that it was 3 hour drive, we scratched that idea and decided the beach was much more worth it.

So to the beach we went! Had to run and buy a bathing suit because I didn't bring one with me from Malaysia. Then I went for an amazing swim. Surprisingly the water was so perfect. Not too cold. Not too dirty. Not too deep... Perfect.

I ended up swimming quite far out and I felt really safe the entire time. I always get a little worried of the currents and of course, whatever could be lurking in the water, but I felt very safe here.

Headed back home after that and passed out on my bed until dinner. Actually had dinner and then went straight back to sleep afterwards. Swimming in the sea will do that to you.

Picked up the vlog again on the next day with another beach day in store. Honestly, I could have stayed there the entire holiday and I would have been happy.

Headed down to the beach and after hanging out there for an hour or two, my uncle decided that he was going to "treat" me to a paragliding experience. So we harnessed ourselves in and up, up and away we went.

It was pretty wild up there. We went so high and it felt so peaceful up there. It wasn't crazy windy and the harness was very secure. The only complaint (although I should have realised this would happen before take off) was that my crotch area was under some serious pressure. I kept trying to lift my body weight so adjust myself... but of course, that's almost impossible in a harness.

So I enjoyed half an hour of almost blood loss to my privates and delicates. But it was definitely an experience.

After the water sports, I dived into the sea again and swam for about an hour. The water was so calming. I wanted to stay there for longer but the sun was beginning to go down.

We biked back home through the beautiful padi fields behind the house and then went out for dinner and that was where the vlog ended.
