Thursday night, Putrajaya 35k ride with Andy's gang was my first night ride there. Learned some new tips while riding in a peloton.
Cycling with others is a team sport. So got to obey rules. Besides that, I got to ogle at 3k a pair of carbon rims. Damn, my bike cost 1.7k only, while those rims are 3k. Does it makes you go faster? you bet.
Saturday, Bukit aman was a brick done under Uncle Chan's group. And really, the stuff they do for training is an eye opener. For the first time in my life, I got to know "the wall". It's a 100 plus meter distance+, around 30 percent gradient climb, and we got to do that for 3 times. Not to mention the other ups and downs around double hill. In total did 40k cycle, 5k run.
Sunday, Gunung Nuang run up and down the peak was the worst kind of torture. With heavy rain soaking everything, and slippery muddy terrain, it was just plain hard and cold. Time was 5:47, which is the slowest time so far.
I did this for Mount Kinabalu climbathon training. And frankly I don't know if I could do it. Just train and hope it goes well.
