Brick

don't ask why my weird expression

My first brick in dunno how long - again! haha...

One week after my first ride, I was fired up to go the distance. Planned with my 'sifu' to start at 730am and though I felt like cancelling, I dragged myself out of bed. AIR2 didn't sleep too well the night before.

I didn't realise my sifu had sent me a text message to say he wanted to postpone. I was reluctant to let the day go to waste so I thought I'd go for a run instead. AIR1 was awake and stuck to me when he sensed I was going to go out and leave him behind.

After some contemplation, I decided biking it will be as I will be running the next day with Fong. And so after some persuasion and crying, I left. Felt so bad I couldn't take him along.

I arrived with a horrible stomach ache but didn't want to waste time. HOped on the bike and left. After finishing, I decided to run. Goodness, it was a horrible transition. Never felt transition so bad before. Ran past Putrajaya Mosque, along the bridge and u-turn at the small roundabout. Saw a few cyclists. On the way back my legs felt better but my tummy was acting up.

Finished and as going back, I had to make an emergency pit stop. My tummy was not going to wait for me to reach home.SOS!!

Had a good ride, though I wished I could've gone further and ran more. But since it's just the begining, I'm contented.

Putrajaya slow and easy


hmmm superbly small pics. Nevermind. That was where I was, roaming around on the 2-wheels of mine!
Finally my cateye clocked more than a miserable 10km ;p 25km slow and easy ride just to get the feel of things again. Nice gloomy weather, no drizzle and I managed to wriggle myself from AIR1. My 'maiden' ride in 3+ years (last was 2006 Desaru) and 1st in 2011!!
Bike handling? better than 1month ago
Shoes? Still not confident enough to ride with my clips....was in a 'market-going-mode' with my running shoes. Will 'upgrade' this weekend.
Helmet? think it's time to look for a replacement. This baby has cracked from my previous accident.
Outfit? Was wearing my 1st jersey. hahaha Shall not reveal how old that is!
Overall? Now I'm motivated to do more than 25 as the 25 left me asking for more! Due to time constraint and unknown body condition I stopped at 25. Let's head out again this weekend!
