Finish the cycle event finally. Took ard 2hrs to complete 40Km. Precise timing will only be out a few days later. I don know good or bad or average la. Jus take it as mu first timing n hope to improve on it the yrs following (if OCBC is still organising it).

Few miscelleanous things:
1)Bot Red Bull n Snickers yesterday night, hoping to eat it for breakfast. But then, today left the house forgetting all about it till wen i reach CTE. So my stomach was grumbling abt no food from the start till end of the race.

2)Debbie's Hubby gave me a lift to the event destination today. Thks! If not, i need spend more money to call cab to send me thr. (Debbie, if u r reading this, hlp me say thks to ur hubby again.) He even went all the way to my house gate to fetch me.

3)Esther and Family were a bit late today so we went to rent our bikes n stuff before the event starts. However, i couldnt locate them after debbie met up with esther. Had to make a few fone calls before i saw Benjamin waving his hands.

4)My event was supposed to start at 730am sharp. But due to the huge number, we were sent off in waves. I think we were in the last wave to get off.

5)People who went cycling with me know that i don wear helmet when i cycle. Today was the first time i wore helmet when i cycle. So was a bit uncomfortable, felt a bit suffocating. Dun know is it my head too big for the helmet or i jus not used to it. Think i need practise a few times with helmet before gg for this type of event. I had to stop at all three Aid Stations to take off my helemet for a while before i can carry on. All i can say is, the Aid station gave me a breather but i forgot to take the 100plus. (Shiew Ling, I failed in my mission to ask them to fill my water bag wif 100plus, haha...)

6)Aunty Tan says nxt year she jus wan to take part in the 20Km challenge instead of the 40Km. Aunty! How can? People upgrade leh, not downgrade. Nxt yr take part in the 40Km again la. Rmb how cool the jersey look instead of the red t-shirt? Nxt yr muz aim complete 40Km in a shorter time.

7)Debbie says she will bring her daughter nxt yr to take the child seat wen she cycle nxt yr. Think will be quite fun. Debbie ferrying her daughter....

Overall, the cycling was good. No major steep slope => Road quite even => Gd cycling. The long trip without any MP3 let me sort some things out. The feeling after u perspire, den go home n take a showere, feeling lagi shiok! Had a medal to show off!
