I planned a long training ride today, target 140km. The guys kept complaining along the way of being 'tekkan-ed' by me. :( But they still rode on anyway. Yeah.
0 - 40km
Home to Mandai Shell - 10km
Mandai Shell - Seletar - Mandai Shell loop - 25km
Mandai Shell - Kranji Way coffeeshop - 5km
Stopped for food, the guys had breakfast. Distance = 40km
40 - 100km
Kranji Way - Neo Tiew - Jln Boon Lay - Junction of AYE & Jln Ahmad Ibrahim - 18km
Strong headwinds along the Lim Chu Kang cemetry stretch, I got dropped far behind...
Jln Ahmad Ibrahim - Tuas West Drive (last turn before Tuas checkpoint) - 10km
Headwind loop x 2 = 16km + 11km = 27km
(Tuas West Drive - Tuas South Ave 1 - Tuas South Ave 3 - 5km
Tuas South Ave 3 - Tuas Power Station - 3km)
Low on water and ate half a power-bar. Whew, enough of the strong winds.
Tuas South Ave 3 - Pioneer Road - Tuas Amenity Centre - 5km
There were new coffeeshops in the Amenity Centre, food! Had lunch and drinks before the ride home. Distance = 100km.
100 - 140km
Pioneer Rd (Tuas A. Centre) - Jln Buroh SPC - 5km
SPC - Jurong Pier Road - Jln Ahmad Ibrahim - 2km
Jln Ahmad Ibrahim - Jln Boon Lay - Neo Tiew - Kranji - Mandai Shell - 23km
There was a strong tailwind along Lim Chu Kang. We flew at 40-42kmh. Wheeee! Rode strongly in Neo Tiew area until the Kranji reservoir/ dam when the winds grew as dark clouds loomed. We were caught in a passing shower and sought shelter at a bus stop. The rain stopped after 10min or so, and we continued.
Parted company at Mandai, we cycled home. Still felt steady enough to cycle on. I was thinking of the IM race, and how on earth to run a 42km after the ride. Eeeks! *shudders*

You trained hard. Stay focused and injury-free, and the rest will be fine. :)
Awaiting good news from your IM result.
