Training - Day 1

Distance: 20 Kms
Time: 50 minutes 25 seconds

Well, I decided to start my training seriously and today was my first official day! I have been biking over the weekends but realised that it is not going to be make me fit enough for the long rides. The distance and timing is not much to talk about but it is a start.

There was quite a bit of head wind today. It's been like that for the past couple of weeks in Singapore. Sunny days and heavy chilly winds in the evening. I found a nice route along the east coast park that is exactly 20 Kms., which is a good distance for me to measure progress.

My neck still hurts while I ride but this I think should become alright after a while. Aish tried to summit Mt. Helen this weekend but stopped short of 700 ft. to the summit due to bad weather. He is the fittest of the three of us followed by Nat and then myself. Need to work quite a bit on my fitness and let's see how this plan works out, 20 Kms. on weekdays and 100 Kms on the weekends and slowly increase the distance done over the weekends as and when my legs build up muscles.

It's 11.20 PM now and I need to crash. Have a early morning call to attend.
