today had a great session with new found friends. WK invited me to go for a ride with his kakis, who are seasoned Ironman triathletes. OMG, it was hell of a ride.
started off from Upper Thomson, Seletar, Mandai, Kranji, Neo Tiew, Lim Chu Kang, jalan bahar, Jalan Boon Lay, West Coast, Pasir Panjang, South and North Buona Vista, Holland, Farrer Road, Lornie, Thomson, Upper Thomson. The speed was super fast, the slopes were killers. At many points, i was lagging way behind and I was almost flat out at the end with total lactic build-up. total distance: 66km, ave speed 36km/h. But this route really simulate that of Powerman. after that, did a pathetic 1.5 km recovery run.
a map of the route:
It was a reality check for me, made my past training at changi coastal and selarang hills insignificant. And I definitely enjoyed today's ride, despite the traffic and the tiredness.
I like my new carbon frame. it is so darn responsive, the shock absorbance and jerking was much reduced when going over potholes and rough surface.
Gonna train more with them, if possible.
dead beat.
