Desaru May 2011: Back to basics

Over the past two over months the focus is on running (back to basics) in preparation for the Sundown marathon. Nonethelss, the rides were getting fewer but longer. Running mileage back to over 100km per month (164km for March and 156km for April). Would have been more had I not fallen ill in early May. So far 171km for May.

Sufficient training for SDM? We'll see.

Last monday, we had another FOTR ride to Desaru (aiming for one every quarter). Comprising BnB veterans and first timers, it was a good ride albeit a very hot one.

It was certainly tougher than our last 100km Desaru ride. Compared to my maiden Desaru ride last August, this ride was a lot more fun. At least I wasn't so intimidated by the climbs now.

Everyone did well - especially our first timers who braved the heat and pain. Looking forward to the next Desaru ride. Maybe 160km?

Oh, I forgot to mention that our ladies outdid us again. They rode to and from the ferry terminal, clocking a total of 180km. Wow.
