Angono, Rizal | Philippines | January 20 2014
I was totally exhausted yesterday from the ride. My knees were weak, as if there was cotton inserted in the joints and I had difficulty in walking when I arrived in Angono. I had to sleep and take a rest as soon as I changed from the Recyclists jersey to the dry clothes. The strong head wind as I biked alone (without the group) got me.
I believe that I did well in this ride.
1. At C6, I managed to be near the head of the peloton;
2. At the service road, I was in the top 10 of the peloton. Cataps was at the lead.
3. At Daang Hari from Alabang to Bacoor, and from Bacoor to Emilio Aguinaldo, I managed to stay ahead.
4. Going up Crisanto de los Santos Highway to Amadeo, I was left behind when I took some pictures. However, 5 km after, I caught up with some of the stragglers: Gerry, Jericho, Ado, Ben. I even overtook them
5. Going down the same highway, I took over the peloton leadership from Alan from Amadeo town proper up to Gen Trias. Maybe that sapped my energy too. I was behind at Daang Hari; they left me at Gen Trias early on when we were going down the irrigation road. I caught up with Ado, Gerry, Ven, and Edgar when Ado got flat in Daang Hari. I just went with Ado from thereon to Petron.
I would judge this ride for me as good, because I really strained to keep up. However the group is really fast. If you blink, and do not keep up fast, you will be left behind far far away
