Went for a short 53km today along the famed East Coast all the way to Changi Village with Terence and Colin. I guess it's famous for being the straightest route along Singapore and probably a preferred choice for triathletes or time-trialist because you can actually get onto the aero-position unhindered. As Yong Howe mentioned, it can get boring after a while. That's probably how those Ironman races felt for the most part. A good way to get used to it. I'm still trying to fathom a Tour De France stage as to how mundane it can be after a while. Your mind will be playing tricks on you and yet you have to somehow maintain focus and plan the road ahead. Like most sports and challenges in life, it requires a heap load of mental strength to complement your physical prowess. Or perhaps you can't do one without the other?

Had a nice ride on the way back discussing issues about homosexuality, our fallenness as a human race and whether it is genetics or your environment that determines your make-up? I resisted the temptation during our pit-stop to devour the famous Changi Nasi Lemak and was duly rewarded with a light stomach on the ride home.
