First Cycling Event

Alhamdulillah... a milestone for me today. My first ever cycling event completed without any problem except for painful butt :p The event was about 28km and I also cycled to and fro the event from where I park my car which was quite a distance. So I guess all in all I did 30km today. A record distance for me too. Ada berangan nak buat 80km but nak habiskan yang 30km ni pun terasa macam ultraman masa bateri dah nak habis. I'm happy though for the 1st 16km I cycled non-stop even on hilly areas. After that baru ada sesi turun dan tolak 2-3 kali.

Lapar sebenarnya. Maybe sebab tu takder tenaga. Breakfast susu kambing, kurma sebiji dan almond 2 biji. Tu jer yg ada kat rumah. Ada beli roti 2 and snickers 1. I couldn't finish the bread. 1 pun makan sikit jer. Masa cycling ada berhenti 2-3 kali and take 1 bite. Same thing makan snickers 1 bite before continuing my journey. Takut kena gastrik ker muntah ker kalau tak makan langsung.

Bila sampai garisan penamat, tak dapat bayangkan perasaan tu camaner. Berbunga2 pegang Finisher's medal tu :) Ada disediakan makanan. I saw mee goreng, mihun goreng and nasi goreng but I don't feel like eating. Takder energy nak bergerak. So I sat quietly under the tree sambil dengar nombor2 cabutan bertuah. Finished my bread and drinks. Roti yg tinggal setengah tadi jer. Takder rezeki with the cabutan bertuah. On the way back baru terfikir nak makan nasi arab. I was kinda fighting with my conscience to eat healthier meal but the other part of me said I deserve the calories hehehe...

Almost 3000 participants. I can't see any familiar faces eventhough I know my cycling club members ada juga yang join. I made new friends at the starting point but masa tunggu cabutan bertuah I sat alone. Duk wa with my new friends and know their location tapi tak larat nak bangun dah. Felt alone jugak among the 3000 people. Hubby went for his own long distance cycling. But I was feeling determined. Sometimes to achieve something in life memang tak boleh nak tunggu orang. Nak tunggu ada geng, ada kawan baru nak buat memang tak jadi lah. InsyaAllah I can push myself further lepas ni :)

Runkeeper bagi semangat.
