These were last week's news

Entah apa aku nak taruk tajuk tapi it was just another awesome weekend. Nothing outstanding, but I managed to squeeze in another 3...oops actually 4 in two days.

Pagi Sabtu, menu LSD again around the neighbourhood. We call it McDonald loop 8km. I received message from Rozaimi a few days prior that the whole orang kampung will join. That would be him, Asharul, Det, Nizam and me. However, there at the junction at 6.30 a.m. under the streetlight were only Det and me. Asharul still nursing stiff calves while Nizam still in celebration mode for his newborn twins. Rozaimi? Overslept! Siapa yang salah?! Black metal tu tak bersalah Pak Abu! Yang salah tu ialah anggapan Black Metal tu salah! Sabor je lah...

Det was the honorary pacer of the week, despite a few grouchy look from me when he up the pace noticeably.

Then, Azmar was willing to join the swim cangkuk session at Bukit Jalil after that. No coaches available for this weekend, so I was kinda hoping that the session would be at least the same magnitude as previous. However, things didn't fall into the groove as wanted. Everything was wrong that morning. Kick, breath and fatigue. Thanks to Azmar, he brought a snorkel which means I get to slightly improve my stroke, especially the left one. Willingly, we bailed out after disgustedly managed to cover 700m.

Sunday, buddies decided to skip PCC ride to Titi but gave LEKAS a shot instead. So they told, enough climbings. When was that anyway? I obliged. Ten of us. I rode from home, with Det. Planning to clock in more milage as PCC-IS 2011 is nearing...8 weeks left. Speed was magnificently controlled at moderate on the way to Seremban. That was cool. We entered Seremban for breakfast and time was still good. The ride back was something on the opposite. Speed was crazily spoiled and headwind was too strong. Drafting at 45 was pushing the red zone and a slight turn from the head outside the streamline, will only cut down the speed dramatically. 102km done.

When time spent under the magnificent sun more than 3 hours, dehyrdration was immense. I was still warm even when I poured in liters after liters. Lucky me, recovery was short and the evening was pretty much well spent by celebrating Umar's 5th birthday. Very short and simple but we have a large crowd of hungry and sweaty playful buddies to join in the chocolate cake digging.

Just woke up from afternoon nap dah kena tiup lilin
