Brick?

Those are telur mata goyang, made special for bricky Sunday

Before KL-Marathon, I was already hyped with loads more activities down the pipe approaching Ramadhan. Setting a few targets wisely whilst juggling a few other commitments ain't easy though. My recent weekend was included. It was packed to the brim till the last daylight.

As planned with Kash, Nadia and Det, a brick training approaching PD tri was completed yesterday. Det and me ain't participating due to our badak style swim and the swim yesterday confirmed we are moons away to be the Man from Atlantis.

The day started with a beautiful overcast morning, with random sprinkle of rain here and there which was ignorable. The vast sight of Putrajaya lake with cool breeze made it a picture perfect - sigh, I left my Cuber-shot at home. Buddies were about nice - not too many and the abscence of hot gears and attire from some people made it the simplest and the most fun training.

There were Kash, Nadia, Det, Nizam and Bahri. Alwin came in later during our run. We rolled of towards the IM70.3 bike route slightly after 7.30 a.m. with nothing more than just to let the bike move. It was my first ride after three months of non-biking and getting up to the 25kph mark got my HRM freaking. What was that la dude?! Bahri overheard the screaming and just smile away. Lucky me it gets down to Zone 3 eventually after 5km. Phew! The remaining of the ride was simply awesome. We have long granny quad screaming climb and a fast thigh burning flat road to add to the neurotransmitter. The last 5km was nothing more like a spin in the park back to the pool.

Continued with a 20 minute jog by the Pullman lake and the the weather just got better. There were more chats and Alwin joined in with his bike before decided to cycle a bit more while we sped off into the pool. Pool was about to close at 11.00 a.m. and we have about 35 minutes to juggle - it was more than enough for me though. I lost count of my laps but I think it was a gritting 2 X 100m.  I was so focused on the pull and push thing and the triceps were burning fast - betul ke triceps? Ye la kot. Haha! When I lost those arms, legs decided to chip in and then it was burning thighs pulak. Now my whole self felt like a brick and ready to sink. Aiyo! Perhaps I am still in recovery stage from the marathon and that fortified I have to chill.

We had our late breakfast somewhere in Precint 9 with Kash's Sunday brick menu - maggi goreng and telur mata goyang. Ammah! The mamak came twice to confirmed the specified order and also to inform the early morning World Cup result - Spain it was. It rained while we digged into breakfast and lots more chats and jokes flew around. The subsiding temperature caught us that we have to be back home for a nice snuggly rest for the days to come.

Anyway, the day wasn't over yet. PD triathlon isn't passing by without the least participation from my side. Yasmin was looking forward to partake. Supporting parents is the key which I find it rare for a lovely girl in our vicinity. Go get them girl! We decided to ditch our peaceful lazy evening at home and joined Azwar at the Trikidz team at KLCC Park. They have hill running at the park undulating course was perfect. Running buddies were awesome as well. We have international friends. There were Sean and Zoei, Ethan and Owen from UK, two kids from Japan, Naufal (Det's son), Yasmin and Amir from Batu 10, Cheras :) and Azhan. I knew those hills drills were killing those quads and thighs but I was proud that they pushed it on till the last bit. A generous reward for my lovely athletes. Fookyah!

Recovery jog downhill guys
