Final Spin

Spin spin spin. KL really whacked the class hard today. There was a trainee foreign instructor on stage as well, she looked familiar, I think she was a regular spin participant. She wore a nice capri Parentini cycling tights and a Pearl Izumi top, and looked very lean in the outfit. Well, definitely a more eye candy than Panda KL. Haha.

Tried to set up the bike as close to my tri bike as possible. Hmmm, in my years of spinning, I had never adjusted the saddle and handle bars so close to each other before. But it felt comfortable. So spin I did, like interval trainings. When I felt like stopping, I visualized myself on the Desaru slopes and rolling backwards if I did not climb hard enough, and I continued pedalling. Huff huff, big gasps of air. When there were rest breaks, I continued cruising. On a race, there was no stopping.

KL chose my favourite flat track, and announced that 'people who just bought a full carbon bike must spin faster'. Haha, oops. Ok might as well, since it was my favourite song. It was one of the rare RPM songs that had a 90min flat segment (most were 30 - 60min). The extra 30min non-stop sprint really pushed the lungs.

Yeah, last hard spin before the race. Kinda looking forward to it, hope to complete the entire race. I estimated a 7-8hour timing (Swim: 1h-plus; Ride: 4h-ish; Run: 2h-ish). I'm already mentally planning for a good spa session after the race!
