Run Your Own Race
or
Ride Your Own Ride
Today I woke up with horrible lack of sleep. Reluctantly dragged myself up to eat my breakfast of peanut butter bread, choc milk, banana.
I had a bad throat (falling sick kinda thing) since the night before and some insect bit my eyelid so my left eye was a little swollen.
Regretted not wearing my old tri shoes the moment I stepped out from the block! "WHY is the ground so wet!" I only checked the skies and not the ground.......
7am longhouse saw only Marcus, Luke, Alvin and me, so they hooked onto 7am JR with me seeing the gallows in my mind. I didn't even survive until Sengkang believe it anot. Okay, I knew I wouldn't survive for long. And that was even with Alvin pushing me up the slopes of YCK!
SO although I was sulking cuz I just did the exact same loop on Wednesday, I decided to just ride my own ride, the way I always do. Alternating between big and small gear. Big at the long areas of SengKang and Punggol, and small when I can't take it, keep the speed and legs turning please!
This other girl was onto my wheel for most of the way! Definitely was NOT taking the shorter route. So loserfied. Get dropped and take a shortcut only to be overtaken again? Noooooooo.
SO at Tampines Ave 10 met more ppl and because I was ignoring the rest of the world and doing my own ride, people were actually following me! Was not too interested in hooking onto ppl's wheels and letting THEM decide my pace. So, I pulled for about 7mins hard and then a little easy then hard again for a total of 10mins at coastal and the guy was following me all the way! He said thanks at the end hehe :)
Well, I felt it was a good ride cuz when you don't care about others, and just make up YOUR own mind to ride YOUR own ride, you end up feeling good, training hard, and others follow you! Haha.
Which is like what JiWen taught me when I was thinking about staying longer in Spain anot. Decide what YOU want for your ownself. THen just do it!
Mr Polka Dot remembers me! Met him along ECP after their drinks break. He was Mr Red Black today hehe. His colour combis are so fascinating! Haha! He said Hi! :) :)
And then this freaking car horned me long and loud at the junction after Fort Road, just because I was tired and a little swervy while clipping in. Come on, I didn't even go out more than half the lane I was in! Seeing a FEMALE cyclist, you should give ONE WHOLE LANE leewey cuz females like me are noobified!
Oh, so I was thinking I've only got a degree from the Monster School but the sister has already graduated with Masters! PhD will be when attained when she goes Olympics teeheee :)
Ate ban mian at TPY! Since a looonnnnggg time! But aunty still recognises me! Hehe :)
So I now have a very blocked nose! Noooooooo! If I fall anymore sicker than this, I'm gonna eat flu medicine and Panadol. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I CAN'T FALL SICK. Noooo not now!
I'm excited about TJ Band concert! Prelude 30! Wow time flies :)
And seeing JiWen on Skype is so heart-breaking. So near yet so far :(
