My training mileage on trails is pathetic to say the least!
Sat: 5 km easy PMC run
Sun: 10 km trail run at MacRitchie
Mon: 65 km easy ride (Thomson-Mandai-Kranji-LCK-Jln Buroh-Clementi-Bt Timah)
Managed to complete the MacRitchie 10 km loop in 1:10, which was better than my first try. The slopes appeared to be easier, though I had to walk some sections.
The 65km ride was the longest todate. Took it easy most of the way as I was the anchor, except at LCK, where I thought I'd attack. AY was up to the challenge, as expected. Only managed to trail him for 2 min, then fell back. But it was only a short 3 km stretch. Averaged 32 kph over this stretch, max of 38 kph.
Easy riding for the rest of the way until Clementi road. Day after day I drove up this stretch without a scant thought of how steep it was. Pant, pant! This was the only section that I had to drop to the smaller chain ring. Otherwise, I was on race gear all the way (large chain ring, 5th rear cog). Average speed: 26.4kph. Average HR: 138.
Nice Hari Raya ride. View in Garmin connect.

well done on the 65km ride. Don't worry too much about the running mileage, you can always intensify this in the run up to big races
