Possibly my first solo ever brick training. Lol
******
All ready to leave for the ride, a look at the phone gave me a mild hear attack.
Showers?
Quickly log on to NEA and my fear as unwarranted.
Climbing Mandai Road at 5:18am, I am all ready to be sucked into the FOTR slipstream anytime now.
Reached Mandai Shell and less than a minute later, the train pulled in.
Along Neo Tiew Road, I hanged on desperately onto the lead rider.
It was so much easier to draft someone than to do it alone.
Out onto the main road, I asked the group to go ahead repeatedly but no one is listening. I ended up keeping tag with the guys. Thanks, guys!
Reaching Lim Chu Kang Straight, all hell broke loose as Ivan lead the charge!
I could not keep up and BFG fall back to lead me. Thanks, Boss!
We picked up Theo and BFG stayed with him while I picked up my pace slightly.
Boss is not going to leave anyone behind.
While waiting at the Bukit Batok traffic junction, Boss rolled in with an unexpected guest, Dennis!
Dennis was five minutes late and have chased the group all the way.
Given the fast pace of the extremely small group this morning, Dennis's achievement is notable.
Travelling via Woodlands Road and Mandai Road, I bid the group farewell along Yishun Avenue 1. Thanks for the ride, guys.
Reaching home, my family were still sound asleep.
I decided to go for a run.
This is probably the first time I did a solo brick training!
Hard to imagine hearing that from a triathlete hor? =p
Pace wasn't fantastic but I am happy.
Past a gal along Sembawang Road.
It wasn't till we exchanged greetings did I notice her.
Confirmed with her later via Facebook that she was indeed Amanda.
Active Yishun runner whom I am met for the first time. =)
Complete the Yishun-Sembawang mini loop and rewarded myself to a hearty brekkie before continuing on my family duties. =)
