Brick Training 50+8

after a night of Mahjong and ended at 1am, I surprised myself that i am able to wake up at 5am in the morning. got out of the house, drove to ECP CP B1 and started out the bike session. no one is accompanying me this morning, as they are doing a run in later part of the morning.

started out slowly and warming up the quads. I power down the ecp service road alone. no much thing to see in the morning, just some random car passing by. There wasn`t any bike on the road yet, I guess it is still early. Riding alone is actually not too bad, as i can focus more on my positioning and breathing. when reaching into the coastal road, i try to pick up the spd more and was in aero position most of the time. still not much bike on the road, then i heard "Good Morning" it came from a group of boys coming from the opps direction. I give them the nodded and waved.

riding down the coastal road, the head wind was good, less resistance. i think i am going at average of 30km/hr, as my speedo meter is unable to read anything, since the last bike out. Reaching the first car park of changi pt, is already 630am. I got another 20km back to start pt in 30mins, if i want to join them for the run. i rode back after a drink. Reaching the Ecp service, time, 655am. i knew i am late, so i kept a look out for the guys on the side. when reaching the start pt, i saw fennel in the front and the rest behind. "You don`t SLACK" is the first morning greeting i had from one, shouting across the road. i never notice who is it, but my guess is most probably accurate from the familiar female voice, i din reply. (paiseh to shout back, i wonder if it embarrassed her? as it did for me)

reaching B1 car park, i u turn the bike and look for them. saw LT and gang, i pushed up and look for yankee, fennel and batz. told them i will wait for them at F2 car park, it suddenly pours. i took shelter. After 5mins, i rode to F2 toilet and waited a while before yankee appeared.
bike distance: 50km (est)
Time: 1hr 30mins (est)

the rest of the gang appeared and started to "Hijack" my bike. One of the "hijackers", she was determined to ride, starts to climb up the bike without thinking much. from the first glance, it already looks too big for her short legs (for your info, size 48 to 51 is a good 3 size away and the top frame sizing plays a big part too). while looking at her, trying all means to start riding was funny, I could not stop laughing when she tries to reach for the peddles and at the same time unable to sit. I guess, she would not be the one riding it back afterall. With much pushing from LT, I ran up and meet up with fennel, yankee and batz when the rest ran back with my bike, I knew it would be safe in their hands. thanks guys!

Starting the run, my legs was a little jelly, but able to run. the quads is tired and the leg felt weigh less. I find this feeling familiar, i knew i would be fine after another 2km into the run. reached the yatch club, i continue to u turn back while yankee waits for fennel and batz. on the way, saw raven.

running back, my quads felt tight and becomes painful. i try to endure the pain, but was unable to do so when i reach the lagoon. i walked to the toilet and took a drink. waited and stretched, yankee catches up and the two followed. we walked for a while and chatted along the way, it was fun ( at the expense of the youngest members) haha. reached the bridge along C4, we ran back. after the walked, my leg felt so much better, i could pace better in faster cadence. fennel break off from the group and followed by yankee, while batz drop behind. reached the start pt.

distance; 8km
time: 1 hour

took a drink and stretched, someone told me the Tao got a cut on my bike and complained about the sharp edge on the top frame. hmm.. i being riding this baby for so long and din got any cuts. well i guess, this baby know who his master is after all. so the next time, dun ride someone bike without much consents from the owner. Riding it forcefully, would result in blood spilled again, haha!
