agarose2000

I've been a bit remiss on my bike training (I'm a tri guy) as of late due to darkness, but have been trying to get in weekend rides. However, I've normally been riding with a group that's comfortably in my pace, well actually, below my pace, so I can stay with them for finding out about new routes. That's been great, but I haven't been challenged at all in the past few months. I did a sprint triathlon as well and was hoping to get some bike challenges there, but I unfortunately swam so slowly that all the fast guys took off even before I started.

Went cycling today with a few new guys who I met randomly at a common start location in LA. We started at a nice leisurely pace, and then all 3 of 'em dropped me pretty hard on a tough climb. Nothing for motivation like getting dropped hard - makes you really want to get back on the torture trainer to get your butt back in gear despite the darkness and cold!

If it doesn't kill you...

You get the idea.

I hate getting dropped. I've spent more time on the trainer already this winter than last in hopes of being better prepared for the spring.

go away.

jus kiddin.

I was thinking if it doesn't look like I can make it to CAT 3 this season, I might try a tri in august or something. I hate running and can't remember the last time I swam, but there are some pretty good lookin girls into these "triathlons," so I might have to give one a shot.
