Gastric juice attack! Should have eaten more after yesterday's ride. Have to pay attention to what I eat from now on.

29 July 2007

It started to rain at 6:30am. CKF SMS at 6 to cancel the ride. Very fast to SMS when canceling a ride that guy! I SMS the ride leaders and was told there's no ride because the ground will be too soft! What a bunch of Nancys! So back home surfing the web at 7am I came across some thing important...another set of nude pic of Sophie Howard! Ops! Thant and a diet recommendation by Chris Carmichael. According to the diet I'm eating too much. He recommends normal food with emphasis on food with lots of fiber and protein. The heavy stuffs only comes when you are on the bike. Later that evening I went on a ride from PJ old town > Jln Kelang Lama > Bukit Jalil >Sri Kembangan and back. TM:1h 40min including the T-lights and short stop at the half way point for canned soy drink. Avs :19, Mxs :48.5, Dst: 31KM. It was a fast ride, amazing how muck speed you can gain by dropping your suspension fork and knobby tires. My bike not a virgin anymore, had a crash 2km after starting! A car cross in front of me, braked hard and turned left. I have to brake hard too and i didn't notice a manhole cover with gaps wider that my tire. Front tire went it and got tucked. Luckily it happened at low speed.

On the trainer again but this time I can only do about 1 hour. No energy. Looks like I'm going backwards. Plus the thought of tomorrow's ride made me lazier.

27 July 2007

Went to Bikepro to pick up my bike. Bike looks sweet. I thought of joining the Friday nite road ride but it was canceled so went I went home.

26 July 2007

Didn't feel like training on the stationery bike so I dusted my trainer and hop on it for 1h 50min. Bike's saddle really hurting my butt. I think the main challenge of the IS ride would be saddle sore.

25 July 2007

Today its interval training where I cycle at medium cadence for 3 min the medium hard for 2 min then hard for 1 min. Rest for 6 min. Did that for 1 hour.

24 July 2007

Came out from the shower freezing! The heater not working properly and its been raining everyday for the past 3 days. As the first day of the week on the trainer it feels great. The muscle juice kicks in only at the last 20 min. 1h 45min of cruising.

23 July 2007

Went to the gym cos remembered I need strength as well as endurance. My left shoulder start to give me trouble even with small weights. That’s not all, I've found I've lost some strength during my absence from the weights. The weights that I can comfortable lift before I did training for IS is now weight a ton. Not sure if I've lost any muscle cells from doing endurance training.

22 July 2007

Did more bike pushing in Kiara than bike riding. Got off the dirt track and rode in the jogger's track. Found the junction where everybody meet to decide where to ride in Kiara. Time:1hr 21min Avs: 6.4 Mxs:44.5 Dst: 8.7

1h 40min of torture. Took 40 sec break at the 1 hr mark. My shorts drench in sweat at the end of the training. Should have worn a jersey.

19 July 2007

Cool evening so it made the training tolerable. 1 day break puts the power back into my legs. 1h 35min

18 July 2007

Rest. Note to myself;Remember to stand any cycle if it feels like you cannot cycle anymore. Try drinking chocolate milk/soy milk during ride. Tomorrow target 1h 35min

17 July 2007

Tough day. Struggle after the 1 hr mark again. I thought I ate a bit more that then yesterday but legs got tired half way. Maybe I'm not recovering fast enough. But it was stuffy hot day…I was sweeting like crazy in the first 15min warm up! Today's effort 1hr 25min.

16 July 2007

My lower right leg is a bit swollen from yesterday's crash. Probably because of the socks applying pressure in that area. Today did 1h 25m on the trainer. After 1 hr mark began to lose strength but managed to hang on to it. Had some peanuts while on the bike.

15 July

Went to Kiara TTDI side. Did 2 loops that cost me 2 minor and 1 big crash. On the big one I was in a off chamber cliff, beginning to loose my balance so I put my left foot down but theres no ground on he left side! Fell about 1m, my chin landed on a fallen tree trunk. No major injury. Time:1h30m Avs4.6 Mxs 41.0 Dst 6.67

14 July

Legs slightly sore. Had a good night sleep. Usually I feel hungry or need to go to the loo in the middle of the nite!

13 July

Ok you can say that I have started my serious training. I have 6 weeks to get in shape for IS. Although training have started in June,its mostly twice weekly 45min ride.In July I started to learn about nutritions and training techniques. Today I cycled in the trainer for 1h 15m. Will cycle the same on Sunday( 3 times a week). Come next week I'll add another 15m and cycle everyday at the same duration roughly 150/160 heart beats per minute. Planning to increase the duration at 15min increment every week.
