  • When one is feeling tired and down, sometimes one is stronger.  Pulling at 35kmh seems like a breeze although I had earlier felt the legs burning.  Met up with Refik and Alvin at Joyce's place and headed down to Macs to meet Esther, and along the way picked up Dennis.  Once we hit past Fort Rd, I pulled away from the group and only Dennis followed.  Can't really sustain a high effort beyond 38kmh too long, so I stayed about there.  Headed to the meeting point and picked up Marc there, then followed the group up.  Again, somehow we ended up near the front.  Turned off Changi Rd, looped the Expo side, then back to the starting point again.  Esther, Marc and myself were the only ones left.  Dennis and Alvin were on their way back from the other side.  Joyce was missing - turned out she turned back at a later point (waiting for Alvin who had already turned back).  Now Refik was missing.  He too turned back at some point (waiting for Joyce who had already turned back).  Group together, we headed back to Macs, had drinks at 7-11 and cycled back.  80.6km, 2hr 33mins.  With Marc, Refik, Dennis around, I don't have to worry too much about the rest and just did my own workout.  Esther as usual, doesn't need looking after.


    Red Bull and Pepsi seem to be becoming a part of my standard diet.
