I just made a lot of weird updates on my bike. It looks so unconventional now but I think it will do the job.

Front View

Cockpit

I moved the arms pads a bit closer to me. It feels a lot more comfortable now. I think I can manage a lower more aggressive drop. If I can manage to mount the aerobars under my handle bars, I think I can achieve that. I must slam them some more. My stem can’t be further slammed because it has reached the slam limit.

Butchered Drops

I butchered my handle bars. I wanted my bike to look like a tri-bike. I think it looks the part. A switch to proper brake levers and bar end shifters is in the horizon for me if I can manage to enjoy this look.

Tool Kit

Behind me is an improvised tool kit. The clear bottle holds my tools and an extra inner tube. I also have that canister thing that is used for flats. Haven’t had the chance to use it yet in a race and I am hoping that I never get to. This looks so unorthodox. I should get a seat mounted rear bottle holder instead of this.

A Sweat Update

I almost blew it at day 10. It was late and I didn’t have enough in me to go out for a run so I turned on the computer and did the first installment of the Insanity workout. I did not finish the Fitness Test. I was still a good sweat workout that left me sweaty with so much huffing and puffing.

Getting The Hang of It

I am slowly inching into the routine. I need to keep this up. I need to slowly inch my diet plan in as well. The holiday season eating frenzy is not helping though.

Bike punishment. Thing’s are starting to pick and I am content.

Too Little Time

I want to get thin again but there is just so much other stuff to do right now. I need to set things straight. I need to plan out my time more properly. Workout today was OK but was completely negated by the over eating that I did again.
