Adult is not always right…

I am already generating a draft for today’s write. But I chose not to upload that. I want to share my experiences, not important ones, far from necessary. But this means to me that adults are not always right.

When we grow older, we will never fall from a bicycle, yeah, a bicycle. Most of us train to learn a fundamental mechanical thing when we are a child. But I fell from it, surprisingly.

This happened when I wanted to beat my cycling record. I want to get my first 100 KM of riding. I was so happy that I was not wearing my earphones; I just heard the sound of the road and nature.

It was so satisfying; I didn’t even realize I could walk only 10 km in about 30 minutes. It was my record, though. But, beyond that, I could have been more careful yesterday. Then the nightmare comes.

I was passing Condet Street, it had many potholes; I didn’t care about myself since I was at my speed. I never thought it would fall when I put my bottle in my trail bag. But that’s happened; I’m losing control because my head is distracted by my bottle.

It happened very fast. I considered saving my GoPro since I put it on my steering wheel. After I fell, a person asked me who asked, for the useless quetions, “Are you okay?” it just felt like, ‘ahatsss!!’, but my mouth answered answers okay”.

That was only 12 KM of my ride; there was 88 KM more, so after informing my conditions of my friend, which were negative, I chose to finish that challenge. My crush is angry because I won’t clean my wound first.

Finally, I got my first 100 KM of riding; it will not be the last since I want to become Iron Man, which is 3.8 KM swimming, 180 KM riding, and 42 KM running. It’s too far from that, hmmm.

Right now, hoping that God will help me, Aamin.
