Day 2 Malacca to Batu Pahat

Day 2
Malacca to Batu Pahat
Distance: 95km
Time on board : 5 hours 49 mins

Before we started the day, i lost my camelbak mouthpiece, dropped somewhere in guesthouse. That means no sipping water on the go. I have to stop to drink water. Nevertheless, we managed to skate with great momentum. After initial slow start out of malacca, we push each other, skating at 18 to 20km/h for a long stretch without breaks. That is the good thing of skating with long distance skate traveller. We push ourselves to our
Limits. I maintain a rhythm. 5 pushs, then 5 Strokes of paddle, then 5 push then pump for 10 secs.

Without my water bag, i have to skate fast in the heat and stop for water breaks every 15km. Our average speed was 17 km/h for 80km until it started to rain. As always, the final 20km is hardest in every journey. Alway so close yet so far. We just have to push in the rain to get to our guesthouse.
