A couple of things that occurred to me this week. #1, I'm officially done running in the cold after Monday. I know I live in Texas and I shouldn't complain, others have it worse, but this is what separates me from the hardcore triathletes...I'm just tired of it. #2, I would love to be able to say the same for the bike because that's even more miserable in cold/wind than running but I realized, I just like it too much. So as much as I will complain when the weather is not ideal, it's really my own fault I am out there in the beginning!
I had my fair share of challenges with the bike ride on Saturday but I'll just summarize it quickly, I officially know how to change a flat tire...it may take me a lot longer than others but I can do it. Also, it is likely that my wheel just may detach from my bike next time mid-ride...hope I put it back on right! :)
The most interesting part of my ride Saturday was I got to see a guy scooping up road kill to put in his truck...why you ask? I try not to think about it!
Finally, I laid out my last months workout plan. I was not able to make it out to the open water swim this weekend but it is marked on my training for this next Sat or Sun come hell or high water.
