• Leaving home at 9am so still got a lot of time to blog down my thoughts.  Forgot to cut hair last evening - hair too long already and will definitely stick out of the helmet.  Packed and too lazy to repack to find out if I miss out anything.  Bag weighs in at 9.3kg.  As such most likely I will take a cab to Dempsey Rd where I meet up with Tribob's bus, instead of riding down.  The last time I rode with a heavy bag, got sore shoulders (albeit muscular ones) for a whole week.  Yeah, that was coming back from Desaru.

  
  

  Team's change of riding plans from 4th to 5th Oct has busted Joyce's plans - who had changed her plans to ride with me - so I will most likely be riding both days - maybe back-to-back Desaru.  Just have to make sure I don't take a teammate for Powerman on Oct 12 then.  Eric, my usual running partner, is interested but I've always done duathalons by myself (coz no swimming involved).  I will most likely turn him down, as I will either be on the best form or worst form for that race.  Without a teammate, I can take things easier and can afford to do what feels natural for me.  Also as Powerman will be attracting a lot of International people, I doubt even with a strong team we will win anything.  Thus better to just finish with my own timing, solo.

  
  

  Hmm... need to pack in toothbrush n toothpaste too.  OK, going for last min re-checking of bag.
