4 hours, and 70 km
Yesterday, I gave chase to fellow Recyclists who have left me for Lucban Quezon Ride. They left me at 5:45, when I just woke up I arrived at the assembly area at 6:05 and the SG there informed me of the 5:45 departure. From thereon I was on TT mode. I was probably doing 30 kph or more.
At Pisong Kape, the informants told me that my katropas left 10 minutes ago. I had closed the gap by 10 minutes. At km 66 + before 67 I saw Jimmy and the Defender and there I thought I caught up with the group. I went ahead to have some food at Manangs at the summit (km 69) I saw the Defender pass by. And from thereon another chase, TT until I reacched Pakil by 9:00 am and was in Pagsanjan at 9:50.
In a chase mode, I was on TT and the pedals seemed light and it was all green go go. No time to look at scenery and even change gears. At Kalayaan, I did not realize that I rode that hill at 53 x 19. (I normally do 39 x 25 for that portion) It was pure adrenaline at work. No time even for a drink or jingle.
Hahaha that is the kind of work they give to the newbies water boy (mules) who bring water to their companions in the a race. It could make you work harder and run faster
of 65 (soon to be 66)
