20.5KM + 38KM

haha..rode from baby's place to my place with her for 20.5KM.. then went out for a ride with fu.. 38KM of sprints and hills at mandai.. just finished 30 minutes worth of stretching..

We decided to go explore the whole stretch of Mandai.. and that we did.. when we went.. the climbs kinda caught us by surprised.. but at the end of the stretch, the two downhills were the worst worries because we thought we'd be killed when we finally on our way back..

Again, we got caught by surprised.. the way back was much easier than going there! haha.. but then again, maybe the going part was kinda spoilt by our double cheese burgers n fries.. wat to do.. nothing to eat.. zzz..

Was really happy i could sprint pretty ok because during the sprint tri practice with dear on friday my bike was COMPLETE BULLSHIT... :( glad i got it back with me again!

Fu did an excellent job too! But noticed his pedal strokes a bit on the smashing side thus the bike was surging forward again and again instead of going smoothly.. gotta focus more on perfect circles.. next time then tell him ba.. gotta go slp.. tired... me too gotta work on that.. and dear gotta work on the plantar flexion!

zzzz,

Scott Speedster S40 + Soul 4.0 Clincher

My little bro just got his first ROAD BIKE~~

Introducing Scott Speedster S40~

Tiagra 9 Speed parts with Scott own stock parts including its brake calipers. Very pleased with the braking performance.. maybe its because i changed the wheels to Soul S4.0... fantastic 41mm clincher to pair with this lovely bike in my opinion.

Its Bumble bee color... And it chooses its owner just like the one in Transformer too.. haha.. took it out for a spin and the setup's too comfortable for me until i found it quite uncomfortable. lol...

Equipped it with graphite look sprint pedals and it definitely live up to its name -

I.E. Speedster.

Very "Beng" in my opinion.. but it sure is a Speed Demon once it adorn the S4.0... spins like forever and slices through the wind better than my fully loaded Argon. haha..

Sounds abit jealous, yes indeed, I am. :D But I'm more happy than not for my little bro who is one more step into a healthy lifestyle!

Cheers
Sinner

Trg notes.

My training has been going on for 4 weeks.. swim trg is starting to experience some downward progress curve..

I'm guessing it is the normal drop in performance after accumulated fatigue kick in.. it means suffering for 1 to 3 more weeks.. but it also mean a peak in performance after that! exhausted.. yet excited!

Well, on the other hand.. sweets and i noticed my right pull seem to be gliding a little lesser than my left pull which is an odd thing since right is my master side. It'd only mean a flaw in my technique since the strength part is not an issue.

After making sweets watch endless short swims.. she noticed the problem bcomes more obvious when i breathe.. but it is reduce (still exist though..) in my swim when i cut out the breathing part.

I am making a guess that from my top view, my body is long from my finger tip to my toe tips.. but on the frontal view.. my left arm may be digging slightly too deep at that extended position.. i don't know.. gonna get it checked out in tomorrow nite's swim.

My legs are suffering from fatigue too.. can't kick well.. looks like i have to add some kick torture training into my swims...

Horny,
Sinner
