My favorite of the three! And here is a picture of my brand new bike! My hubby bought it for me on March 15 (hey...isn't this the Ides of March?). We went in to give my old bike a tune up, but it ended up needing so many parts (it was old...it had been my mother's bike which she purchased in the early 90s) to the point it wasn't worth it.
The bike leg of this sprint tri is 12 miles. I've already been doing 9 miles so 2more shouldn't be tough. I've been cycling at the YMCA on a spinner. ONE day in March I was able to do the real bike outside. It was the last ride on my mother's bike. It's a bit sentimental!
After the outdoor bike ride, I immediately went into the run to experience what everyone warns you about....jelly legs! Boy that is no lie! I jogged slow for about 30 seconds and went into a walk. I could barely do it! Hopefully, down the road, this will get better!
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to breaking in my new bike. After Spring Break, my Tri training club plans on starting biking outside. At 5 AM, this should be interesting!
