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
