OCBC Cycle Singapore 2011

Its been quiet a while since the OCBC Cycle Singapore race got over. A little more than a month before the race i had started to log the heart rate data from the sensor just to see if there is any correlation. Definitely the data related to performance improves over time and an empirical equation can be written with parameters as Weight, Heart rate, cadence, Distance, time for completion to give a rating on scale of 10 about performance.

What more could be important is sEmg data from Calf muscle ! ;).

The Cycle-only data ...


On the eve of race there was a free sEmg of back at the Formula 1 pit building. The 12 electrodes along the back gave interesting data and hence the health of back. Looks like the technology is far more matured than one would believe.

Anyway an image from the race. Thanks Sabine !


The OCBC Cycle Singapore 2011 was first such event for me and it was a great experience. Thanks to the  organizers. I started early morning from my home for the race venue (it was almost 18 kms away!). By 0645 I was there for the 0715 flag off. I was starting 2283. Sagar was way ahead of me starting 376 and Yoolim was starting 8000. 

I never took this as a race but a fun ride and believe me i finished it without breaking a sweat. Though the timing was sucky like 1:18:51 and i'll need to reduce it by 15 minutes at least but it was a cool ride. The pleasant singapore morning with the breeze, roads devoid of cars and only the sound of air gushing by..

The next step is Sun Down Marathon on 28th May. Lets see how much air i have left in my lungs.
