gotta find new track ... damn it ...

hills

the bike ...

i think as the bike section of a tri as doing a physical activity while carrying a piece of metal with you. as far as running and swimming is concern you have to just carry your body ... propel forward and go as fast as you could ... with a bike .. its different .... the gearing ... and there's breaking .... and the adjustment ... bike fitting ... oh ... so many things to consider ...

anwyay ,.. the rule of thumb was to have a staright leg when you're on a sitting mode with your feet parallel to the ground ... WITH a slight knee angle .. i realize yesterday that my angle was too big ... and hence the un efficient pedalling which left my legs sore ...

i'm gonna raise the seat a bit and see how that would go .. otherwise i'll have to adjust the cleats ... we'll see ..

anyway .. found a great track now for cycling ... 21 km ... bkt mahkota - sri putra - bukit mahkota - nilai 3 - bukit mahkota ....so that's a good olympic distance ... about 4 hills ... and 1 quite long one ... which i can practice pedalling while standing .... and gearing of course...

also a running track of 6 km .. and a long one 12 km ... so i don;t have to go to putrajaya to cycle anymore ... and take off my tires and get my hands dirty from the chain grease and stuff ... and not to mention the headache when putting the tires back on ...

there;s a putrajaya tri this year ... maybe if its on .. i'l ldo the olympic distance ... we;ll see

athlete movie

damn it,

why didn't i know about this movie?

where can i get this movie?

defy definition - totally agree

pyramid

I was on a 1+2+3+4+5= 10 scheme before and last night i tried the 2+3+4+5+6 = 20 scheme. It rained last nite at the pool but they still opened the pool anyway since there were no thunder. anyway, the 2nd scheme is better since it saves a lot of time. And that way i could prepare for the olympic distance = 1.5k.

never tried open water swimming. I'm going to save that. I read somewhere that it is better to save your first competetive open water swimming for your first tri.

swim, bike, run - YOU WILL DO IT

ran my 2nd 10k run on sunday. the 2nd run was ok since i'm running with new shoes. last time, i was running with my nike free and let me tell you .. there is little support on the muscles and at times it hurts .. causing me to fatigue even quicker ...

i think for swimming ... i got a good hang on the whole stroke thing ... did a pyramid scheme which gave me time to rest without compromising the effort needed to finish the distance ... good thing i found it on the internet ... very good tip .. ... so i manage to do 30 laps ... and i felt ok afterwards ... so that's like 1.5 k ... so i guess ... that's quite ok ... i see no point trying to do 1.5k non-stop now .. maybe later when my stroke count is reduced .. and i move more or less like a fish ...

i hate to bike ... but i just have to ... when i see this big hills ... i know it will hurt ... i hate it when the gears slipped ... and the fear of a punctured tyre ...

been running and swimming for the past year and a half ... i think .. and just started cycling ... i'm doing my first duathlon in july .. and then my first tri (sprint) in august ..

next year's target ... hopefully i can finish a half marathon and a full olympic tri .. maybe if i'm confident enough .. i'll try the 70.3 (half IM) ...

i sure wish i have some one on the same mission as mine ..

this is just the beginning ...

leave your old self behind ...

run - run+bike - swim+bike+run

multisport sure cost a lot of money though ...

its a bad time to be an arsenal fan

i have little to no interest in watching arsenal win ...

i can't imagine how arsenal will finish fourth this season with that defensive display ...

but i still enjoy theo walcott splitting defenses ...
