So I am officially a cyclist, except for the fact that I ride really slow, and I don't go that far...but I do look like a cyclist, at least as far as I can tell.
The trick about training for this triathlon is the fact that I have three different events that should divide my training time, each with varying degrees of fun. So how is the triathlon training going for me? Great, except for the run and the swim. I spend literally all of my exercise time on the bike. I really enjoy it. I have been biking between 12-17 miles a day. It usually takes me between 45-60 minutes. It is the perfect amount of time to get out and break a sweat. On Friday I did a 20 mile ride. That got a lot less fun around mile 16. I think I pushed myself a little too much. I am still nowhere near close to Kristy's level of fitness as she continually pushes herself for her first triathlon in June. It is really fun to watch her speeds and distances in each event increase almost by the day. But then I look at myself and say, hey at least I have the bike. I can be 1/3 the man my wife is...I mean, wait...
