Encounter

Saturday, October 13, 2007

I think my fitness at the moment has reached an all time low. Ok, it's probably compounded due to tiredness but I just can't seem to maintain anthing above 70% intensity for longer than a few minutes. Somehow, paddling at 75% leaves me breathless already. Same goes for running. And my eye/hand/leg coordination/balance is getting from bad to worse, leaving me feeling disjointed during paddling and running too.

The effects of 2 weeks of nuaing.

On more interesting matters, 2 days ago I couldn't believe it but I passed this China woman who was cycling on the road along South Bouna Vista Road towards NUH from Bouna Vista... and she was READING TODAY NEWSPAPER while cycling!!!! She had the paper put across her handle bars (so she was effectively pinning it down and controlling the bike at the same time). ON THE ROAD. And it was not like the road was empty... It was 7:15am in the morning close to peak traffic conditions.
