Spent less than 2 minutes in Transition 1 to get my helmet, shades, race belt, socks & shoes on. Walking my trusty Cannondale R600 out to the Bike Start. I really enjoyed the bike route - all 40km. Bintan roads are very good and the scenery was gorgeous. It was undulating.....and the climbs took effort but it was worth it. Improved on my bike time compared to the training camp. Wasn't so dead this time. Took about 1 hr 30 mins.
