I decided to ditch the just-washed and sparkling car for my bicycle today and rode to work. The legs were still feelin’ it from yesterday morning’s swim (2.2k only but included 7×200m hard) and evening 2 1/2 hour run (super hilly, through buona vista, kent ridge, henderson waves, mount faber, etc etc etc) but obviously my mind and legs have some sort of communication breakdown cos I decided to take a long route to work.
It should’ve only been about 12k but it turned out to be about 35k (and hilly) cos I went by Clementi, Bukit Timah, Mandai and Thomson and with what felt like a tonne on my back. In my backpack was my super duper heavy office IBM ThinkPad, work clothing and shoes, work notebooks, and my new saddle and cycling shoes to be fixed on later. Ouch. But good. Spun on a really light gear and feel much better now than when I woke up. I actually am more energetic now!!
Yeah, every part of my body is lost in translation with my mind. The only shitty part of it all is riding home later in a smelly kit!!!!
