This morning I headed out for a quick four mile run. I started in Hoboken, ran north to Weehawken, and simply turned around when I hit two miles. My pace was fairly fast (7:09 per mile), but I just did not feel very comfortable or fluid. I guess you cannot have great runs every day. On a completely unrelated note, I ordered my new bicycle frame today. It is a Motobecane Nemesis Pro. I first heard about Motobecane on Slowtwitch, where they have a reputation as being dependable, "poor man's" triathlon bikes. I was actually looking to spend a bit more money and get a frame from a more established brand, but unfortunately when it comes to frames, manufacturers generally only sell them for their more expensive models. The other problem I had is that nearly all of the frames I saw online were carbon -- not only is that way more money, but after what just happened to my current bike, the last thing I want is to buy a frame that is more susceptible to breaking. The frame should get here in a few days -- needless to say, I am really excited to see what my bike looks like when it is all built up! This will also be my first true triathlon frame (i.e., with triathlon-specific geometry), so it will also be interesting to see if that makes any difference to my bike and run splits next season.
