27 September 2018: All staff not around, partner taking care of office, bike in the office so decided to try my first Tri training. Swim 700m, bike 20km, run 5km. Did the first two but did not manage to run due to time constraints.
Swam at Pusat Akuatik Shah Alam because they are open all day (unlike Matsushita pool, only open from 5pm).

The transition was slow, as I needed to unload my bike from the car, put on its front wheel, putting on a t shirt, short pants, socks and clipless shoe. I made a stop at the toilet before that. I took off towards the bicycle lanes which I have been wanting to try out for a while. The lanes only covered a small part of the city. It was bumpy and I could not ride fast. Though it provided safety as it is separated from the main traffic. Beware of poth holes too as some drain covers were stolen by irresponsible thieves.  |

| blue coloured lanes together with the road I tried cycling up the hill in front of UITM, though not very long but provided good training. I didn't plan any routes so I just roll wherever the road takes me, and ended up at Federal Highway. I took the motorcycle lane but was blocked off by the LRT3 constructions..I turn back into Shah Alam via Sirim and continued with the bicycle lanes towards section 2, 9, and back to the pool. A call came in and I had to head back to the office and could not complete my run training. |
