Riight.. So after Tour of Friendship, I had no training program, did a couple of races in Letua100 and Kulaijaya. But other than that, I've been busy with a summer program in school for 2 weeks. The course was very intensive, going to school in the morning at 8am and only back home close to 12midnight. As a result, I did zero riding in between and had to start from scratch. Not good when National Championships (my main objective for the year) was just around the corner. I had a week after my course to fine tune myself before heading to Terengganu, the land where most top Malaysian cyclists are produced, for a "crash course" before Nationals.
I've decided that for this part, I'll let pictures do the talking here (
picture speaks a thousand words Really, im just lazy to type). So here you go! My Terengganu experience...
