Pool Closed

Pool closed, something is broken, so I decided to reacquaint myself with the road bike.

First serious bike riding since the wreck in January. Rode 18 miles on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully another 20 plus on Sunday.
Great week of running. Looking forward to a long non-technical trail run tomorrow.

Get Back on That Horse

“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.” Lance Armstrong

I rode a real bike and not an infernal stationary bike today. I rode for over 18 miles. This was significant because in January I had a significant bike wreck. (face plant, broken tooth and 20 stitches).



I have ridden since, but nothing more than a few miles. I bought a new road bike 3 weeks ago. So early this morning around 6:10 am I rode the new bike. The temperature was 54F degrees with clear calm conditions, so it seemed to be a good morning to ride.


After the wreck I had an epiphany. I now know why a couple of bike mechanics from Ohio were so obsessed about building airplanes. They were trying to find a safer form of transportation.


So I am back to the third part of my triathlon training.

Swim, Run, Swim, Bike?

Swimming yesterday and running this morning. Pretty good day running.
And for the third leg of the triathlon I bought an inexpensive road bike. It has flat bars which I like, but still a road bike. Currently I ride a Schwinn Mirada hybrid. 26 X 1.5 wheels and tires. The bike will be faster.
