Sun 22-Apr, (still not feeling well...but I still run anyway)

It's a sunday and i was planning to run and bike this morning but as I woke up I feel my body doesn't feel good. So I ended up reading newspaper and watching Astro instead.

In the afternoon though, I body was a little bit ok and I try to run. So went to Kepong Metro Lake for a plan two loop run (1 loop ~ 3.5km). But surprisingly I feels good during the run and my heart rate is good as well. So instead of 2 loops, I did 3. Wow!... probably because the whole of last week I didn't have any running since the previous Sat.

Completed 3 loops around 1hr 5min for about 10km. (easy recovery run).

Sat, 21-Apr (back to MTB again...)

It's been a loooong time since I did my MTBing. I stop it for a while since my SWorks Enduro brain is leaking. Send it to KSH in Tmn Tun in Dec 2006 and until now that thing is in Taiwan for warranty claim. KSH have given me another shock for a replacement but it's useless especially when in ascending position where the shock doesn't work at all and the bobbing is terrible (and make my back aching like ....). I guess KSH just gave me someone else's 'rosak' part to me and probably mine is given to somebody else (who knows...).

Ok, back to my ride. Today I did my first MTB ride for 2007 if I'm not mistaken. Just take it easy alone as my my condition also not very well since I've been ill for a few days now. Did an hour of riding from the tarmac in Tmn Tun, Twin Peaks, Snake & Ladder, coming back to Twin Peak, down to Carnival and done. 1 hr 5min easy ride. I'm definitely not going to stop MTB... the feel and exhiliration is different and just love. Despite that I think it's a good high intensity training too to complement my triathlon training. It also improves your technical ability and skills. From now on I think I will put MTB riding as part of my triathlon training.
