One of the moment that I always dread! Sea Rescue ASI SUP recertification that needs to be done once every 2 years! Swim 100m in the open sea, get back to shore, run 200m, grab your SUP board, launch into the sea and prone paddle 200m to perform a rescue within 10 minutes.
The last time when I did the sea rescue certification, I trained hard for it. Even with training, I was panting for breath when I reached the finishing line. The joke then was that instead of rescuing, I almost end up being rescued.
This time round, I did not have much time to train. I just did my CT angioplasty in October and was supposed to rest more and moderate my activities. Glad that my Cardiologist gave me the go-ahead to increase my training intensity last week. So with one week of training, I attended my recertification! If you see such post on Facebook, it always mean good news! Yes, I made it with flying colour - my best time of going below 9 minutes!
I believe God has given me a new lease of life. I discovered my condition via my annual medical checkup, went through the heart procedure, recovered without any damage to the heart and experienced such accelerated recovery. I need to steward this new beginning. To God be the glory!
