Sunday brick training changed. We moved to Science Park, NT for prepare the coming Duathlon race. We arrived a bit late, as the road changed. We warm up with 2 laps then we start the following:
- 2 laps single leg drill
- 6 laps stand on the saddle ( after turn)
- 2 laps sprint + 1 lap easy (high cadance)
- cool down
- transition practice ( run, bike, run) x 2
Feeling great to ride with Ah Chung at the 2 laps sprint and stand on the saddle for 6 lap. Feeling for fast to stand on the saddle and can push faster myself. Riding single leg is my weakness, very hard to control the balance and can not feel the power.
We finally finished with all the smoky dust all over our body. We rush to the Science park and nourish ourself at the food court. What a great day to kick start, but feeling extremly tired at the afternoon. Take a 2 hours lap at 4 somethings...waking up with Zitta's Pizza and a Rose with Charles at home.
P.S. i was struggling to touch up the photos i took during the 31 days travel....again.....the finishing time TBC..........sucks......

Back to reality

I'm back to reality! I have been lazy, lost my motivation over the freezy holiday! Realise Running is the only things to keep me awake! Hopefully can back in shape!

To aim for a better shape to wear my wedding gown, i get the ideas from Ah Lok to add one long run session at my weekly training program. A fit ball is purchased and try last night, very funny. Actually, i have to sit down and discuss with my coach Kenneth to fomulate my training program weekly and monthly.
Time: 1: 08
HR (Avg): 130
Feeling so hungry during the last lap of the run, need to replenish sharply.

Ah On - your high five with me at the return of the bottom of the pier is so strong to me. I need to catch you next time :P! John - sad to see you walking on the road, but without your support, i cannot finish. Rest in Peace la! Eric - sad to see you turing back on the resovior, when i say "pls support me" i mean it! Ah Lok - your high five with me which give me strength that i should keep runnning and i can't stop!(but i think you can run faster!)
