I’ve always wanted to try riding to Tutong from home, and since its the last day of my holiday, decided to just go for it.
Woke up late and only managed to leave the house just after 7, with the sun already up and bright.
The ride to Tutong went nice and smooth, with trees along the road shaded me from the sun. Although, I didn’t really expect that there would be so many long hills and slopes. It just felt like going on and on.
Had a short pit-stop in Tutong to refill my water bottle and had a few bites of a powerbar. The ride home started off smoothly as I felt refreshed after the stop, but the morning was just getting hotter and the trees weren’t giving me any shade on the other side. The heat really drained the energy out of me.
I’ve never ever cycle this far before (in one go), so the last few kilometres was a real nightmare, my body was aching everywhere. I was changing my position every few minutes just to move the pain around.
Overall, it was a good workout and it gave me some idea how a long ride really feels. 110km - 3hrs 50mins
I just can’t imagine doing a long ride after a long swim and then doing a long run after that. I don’t even want to imagine doing a full Ironman. It’s just crazy, for now….
I guess all I need to do is train, train and train. NO SHORTCUTS.
