Selev Matrix Helmet

One of the item I wanted to buy while I was in Singapore this week was a new bicycle helmet. I managed to go to 2 bike stores, bikehaus and Treknology. I tried out Giro, Met and Lazer helmets but somehow none of the helmets feels right and fit my head nicely.

Reached Brunei yesterday and in the afternoon I decided to go to Triple Star in Kiulap to buy the Selev helmet.

I decided to go for plain white helmet. This helmet cost me BND 295.00.

Oppsss … I got myself a new Oakley again.

SUUNTO t6c

Went to Queensway Shopping Centre Singapore yesterday and got myself the SUUNTO t6c limited edition Red Arrow Ambassador which cost me SGD 1,139.00.

Initially I was thinking of getting the SUUNTO t6c Triathlon Pack but the price is almost $300 more and it’s not even “limited edition”.

I do have a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) already. It’s a Polar 625x. See my review here. The only thing I don’t like about the Polar HRM is the food pod. It’s quite big and ugly compare to the SUUNTO foot pod.

After paying the HRM, the sales lady then realise that I’m entitled for the free gifts from SUUNTO. Check it out below.

Giant TCR Advanced 2

I just got myself a new bike last Tuesday and it’s a Giant TCR Advanced 2 (2009 model).

As you can see from my previous post, I actually already have a bike but I feel it’s about time for an upgrade. My new bike has a carbon body frame and a Shimano Ultegra groupset. I can’t wait to give it a test ride.

I even got myself a new bike meter, new pedal, new water bottle and cage. Everything in this bike is new, no sharing with the old bike.

16/Nov/2009 Run

I decided to cycle to Padang Kebajikan this morning instead of driving there. Anyway, my house is not far from the track.

My bike is a Scott Speedster 5 bought 6 years back from Triple Star. Actually, I’m also thinking of getting a new bike very soon. Most likely a Giant TCR Advanced 2 (2009 model).

I did 13 laps in 33 mins 50 secs. Both my leg calves muscle felt abit tight during my run this morning. Otherwise I might go for 15 or 17 laps.

This past couple of days I’ve been waking up very early. Today I woke up around 3:00am. Slept around 10pm last night. 

As usual, I went for my morning run. Manage to do a 25 laps slow run in 1 hour 8 mins 55 secs.
