What I can’t hide…
I was looking at the official photos from my Tri in April.
Yowzers y’all. I know not many people look good in spandex, but the person in the photographs is so much bigger then the person I see in my head.
When I look at those photos I can’t believe that I am as active as I am. I [...]

New Road Bike!
When I decided to do a triathlon last fall, I knew I would need a bike. I balked at the prices and hemmed and hawed and tried to figure out an inexpensive way to get a bike. Finally I decided to use some of the money that my grandmother left me to buy a sporty red [...]

Coffee Date update

Week 4 derailed by a trip home
Tuesday night: I drove out to the unofficial bike ride for the Team. Per normal, I was about 5 minutes late, but I didn’t see anybody there. I thought about doing a ride, but opted instead to go test ride bikes. I’ve been dreading doing this on my own, but I was in my bike clothes [...]
