making progress

ok..tricia didn't quite finish her circuit training yesterday.. her abs ached so badly from the sit ups.. that she had to stop at the 2nd set. mum was screaming away when tricia wheeled her bike out..coz tricia didn't eat anything and was training like a mad gal. so after to bike ride and bicep curls, she stopped there.

managed to pull herself out of the bed to go for a 4km run and did 3sets of 15 push ups. cycled tania to work only to find the right cleat stuck on the pedal.. it was not removable coz there was only 1 screw left on the cleat itself..and when tricia tried to twist it out, the entire cleat twisted along too. idiot cleat! in the end she had to remove her right shoe and walked into office with 1 shoe.

then it dawned upon her that with the stuck cleat..how is she going to bike to the pool later?? uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.....o_O

option 1. find someone in bt panjang with allen key. borrow allen key, fix bike.

option 2. bike home later to get allen key during lunch.

option 3. buy a new allen key from rodalink during lunch. since i've been wanting to get one with a chain breaker too.

therefore, executing option 1, she quickly messaged david and mokhtar for help. unfortunately mokhtar was having swim lessons... so that's one hope down..

to her relief...david was at home..so she biked na na down to petir road, pick up the allen keys and came back to office. (ok..that's the good thing about leaving 1 extra bike in the office..hehehe..erm..it's no choice actually..mum doesn't allow 4 bikes at home =( sigh)

yayyyyyyyyy...david's allen key saved the day!! tricia transferred one of the 3 bolts from her left shoe to her right shoe. so she has 2 on each shoe. tightening them with all her might..this time it better DON'T come off again. grrrrr!!!

tricia is really the handy-gal for the day. after fixing her cleats.. she popped over the hardware shop to pick up 4 batteries and a pack of cable tie.

2 of her tail lights are battery-flat. task: replace batteries. not too tough.

she broke the rubber band on her topeak light. task: replace that with normal rubber band and fasten it with a cable tie. now that light is PERMENANTLY on tania..until the cable tie is cut off.

actually have to fix the 725 bike mount onto tania..but she left the bike mount at home..so..hmm.. that'll be done later tonight.

got to get the training programme sorted out later..download all the details into the watch and stuff... so.. after finishing her work for the day, tricia will proceed to do that.

good..tricia is making some progress already. gambatte!!!
