I chose an 8 mile route that has a little bit of climbing to get to the turn point, just enough to make this a good work out, not so much that it's discouraging. Here is the elevation map:

She rides!
Well, I finally did it. Pumped up the tires, did a quick bike inspection, geared up, and went out on a short easy ride. It was windy and I didn't let that stop me. And you know what? I actually enjoyed it!

Now, if I can get out on my bike a few more times this week along with the running, I'll be off to a good start for triathlon training. Yes, I know I still need to add in swimming, baby steps people, baby steps.

YEAH you did it!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Good move to choose a course that would give your body a bit of a challenge but also give you a confidence boost!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I would actually like to get on my bike prior to next saturday - my tour de cure bike race. it's been a LONG winter!
ReplyDeleteYou did it despite the wind (a terrible enemy) and the hills. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI reckon focus on keeping the bike fun. Enjoy the pool too (maybe some new bathers?)
ReplyDeleteOMG I went over 1 hill this weekend and thought that was enough for me. seriously florida is wayyyyy tooooo flat
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting out there.
ReplyDeleteGood job! That looks like quite a hill!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Way to go! :0)
ReplyDeleteI looked at the altitude first and was absolutely amazed that you call climbing to over 5000 feet a little bit of climbing ... and then I realised that you live above 5000 feet. LOL Good job on getting out! Well done! Now, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGreat ride -- when is your first race?
ReplyDeletenice job on the ride!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! And glad the running is going well, too.
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteI've often heard that bike riding helps running. I haven't tested out this theory, so I'll be interested to know how it goes for you. :)
