11-Nov: As I was about to get flushed away into the Seri Manjung race jitters this morning, I received a phone call from Jaja about last night's mishap happened to a fellow friend. Esmenn. I don't quite know him but we exchanged smiles and Hi! a few times at races and trainings. He was hit by a taxi at Cyberjaya last night whilst cycling to Putrajaya for brick training with friends. Updates and detail coverage can be found in Facebook walls by fellow friends and Julie's blog as well. I pray for his fast recovery and good health. And to Malaysian motorists, wherever you are and at anytime, please stay alert on the road. You'll never know it might be your love ones that fall prey to careless drivers. For loving cyclists, bring functioning blinkers and road ID.
13-Nov: My thoughts kept on flying here and there about the upcoming task I'll be facing this Sunday. It's not that I've never done it before but a commitment is better be dealt with a fresh plan. The thing is...I don't quite have a firm plan yet! Take it slow or not take it slow. Full throttle or easy on the gas. Those are mind games for an uncomfort mind. Perhaps it's normal. The same feeling last year prior to the race. I think it was worse.
To straighten things out, I shall focus and stay focus. Thinking and planning should ease up the mind:

Last but not least, a battle is incomplete without a theme. Here goes lads - man, these boys are as all as me?
Have a great one!
