She let me go ahead of her but I found her on my tail even though I was going pretty fast myself. This being Brooklyn, when I slow down for a light she just kept going and passed me again. I caught her again and told her she does pretty well riding that thing. It turns out she was on her way to R&A cycles to pick up her new tt/tri-bike so she could do an Ironman somewhere. Just looking at her she was a complete athlete. I could keep up with her while I'm on my road bike and she was on a Citibike, but I'm sure she'd blow me away on her tri. She goes to Prospect Park to train so maybe I'll get a chance to see her on it as I'm there all the time too. I doubt even in my top shape I could keep up.
