Once again I have been awful recently in terms of updating this blog, so I decided to just do a laundry list of new/possibly noteworthy developments over the last few weeks:
- After the bike computer problems I had during my last race, I decided to finally get a new one. I went with an entry-level wireless computer, and although it is really bare bones in terms of features (it basically only tracks speed and distance), I am already loving not having additional wires running over my bike.
- My training continues to be fairly consistent, including a weekly swim in which I continuosly do 100 yard repeats on the 2:15 (which is a great way to knock out 1,500-2,000 yards fairly quickly).
- I just took my bike to have the wheels trued for the first time. I am not sure what I did, but my back wheel in particular was wobbling all over the place, to the point where it was rubbing against my back brake. Not good.
- I just retired my three cycling jerseys, all of which I have had FOREVER. They were really starting to reek pretty bad, even after they just came out of the wash. Now I need to buy some new ones, one of which will likely be a Team RadioShack jersey (no, we are not going to start a "did he or didn't he" discussion), and will have to figure out a couple of others as well.
- I am still trying to figure out a race to replace the Olympic I was originally supposed to do at the end of June--given my fitness level and last couple of race results, I am really interested in how fast I can go.
