Look out Cycling World - Here I Come

I decided fairly recently that I want to start doing triathlons. I mentioned this to Justin, and somehow the next thing you know, I’m buying his old road bike. It’s a nice Fuji road bike, but he upgraded to a Cervélo tri-bike and doesn’t ride this one anymore. He named his price (too low in my opinion) and even offered to let me “try before I buy.” I picked it up the other day, and today I ran to the bike shop for some bare essentials. I wanted to run today, but this would have been my third day in a row. Tomorrow is National Running Day, so I HAVE to run tomorrow, which would make it four in a row. So instead I decided to break in my new bike and go for a test ride. It felt great to be on a bike again. The bike needs a tune up, but I could tell from the ride that it fits my frame nicely. I could also tell that I am WAY out of shape when it comes to the muscles used in cycling. I can’t wait to start logging some serious miles on this thing. I also feel like it will give me something to do on my days off from running. I’ll post more about my triathlon plans in future posts.
