It was 4 sets summit path, 4 sets rangas path & 9 sets jungle fall for bukit timah training today.
And it’s never wise to do bukit timah circuit the very next day after staircase training @ Toa Payoh.
Only into the 1st set of summit path, I could feel my quads burning and legs generally sore. My legs did not feel fresh at all and it seemed as though I was doing my 4th set during my 1st set! Glad that Esther, Maomao, Chu and later on Lihui were training together as well and somehow we completed all the sets in about 3 hours.
i simply love the feeling after a great training session.
We had a session last Wed with Roland Krueger, Managing Director of BMW Asia and also the first German who skiied to the South Pole unsupported. Very inspiring and humble person who was ever ready to share his expedition experiences. He told all of us that we should put on more weight. During his South Pole expedition, his team drank oil and ate mayonnaise. Cool. Hmmm judging from our rather intensive training schedule, I think it is quite difficult for us to put on that much weight, Although I must say I’ve been eating more than 3 meals a day! (albeit unconsciously) As Esther says, maybe we should consider eating weight gainers…… it’s time to bulk up!
Yihui’s first foray into the outdoors was climbing a snow-capped mountain during a Technical Mountaineering Course in New Zealand back in 2003. She has since developed a passion for hiking and climbing mountains in extreme places.
