I Finally Did It.

I finally scheduled a bike fit and am taking the next steps to get a new ride... I am SO good at avoidance, man... and I know why it is. I like my bike, and getting a new bike is going to be a BIG decision and because of the global bike/parts shortage 😩, I am concerned that my choices are going to be limited. And it's going to be costly👎I also know that in order to be as successful as possible, I will not be able to ride 112 miles on my current bike. After two hours last weekend, lawdhammercy my bum was not pleased. Triathlon has definitely made me feel like The Princess and the Pea 👑.

Training is going pretty well, I think. I need to do more with other people so that I push myself, but as of right now I think things are going pretty well. I am seeing improvements in my times and how I feel afterwards, so that makes me feel good.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

BUHBYE 2020!

2021 is here. Shockingly (and thankfully!), we made it out of 2020! Now on to the Big Scary Thing of 2021: IRONMAN Maryland in September! I have been reaching out to coaches and trying to get that part of my life in order. I went for a night ride today to start the year off on the right foot, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The streets were mostly quiet and the weather wasn’t awful. 

This is going to be quite the year!
