Ironman Training - Solo Long Ride

19 Sept 2015 - 136km Ride at Cyberjaya/ Putrajaya

With less than 2 months from race day, I am seriously behind schedule in my preparations, especially on the bike. Target was to log 150km but only managed 136km.

Left the house at 7 a.m., rode to Cyberjaya via Kampung Meranti & did 3 x Cyberjaya/ Putrajaya loops, then rode back & reached home at 1 p.m., with 2 refill stops during the ride.

Very hot and a bit hazy towards the end of the ride.

Ironman Training - 30km Run

Ran 9 x Largest Round About in the World (located in Putrajaya, measuring 3.35km).





























More of a mental challenge than physical, going 9 rounds alone. Selfie below was taken immediately after the run.




Dream Came Through

August 2015

Cycled to work and back due to road closures in conjunction with the KL City Grand Prix.

Something I wanted to do for a very long time.
