After much perusing on CL for a road bike and swinging between a Trek and a Giant, I purchased a used 04' Trek 1500T WSD from an avid cyclist in Pac Heights last night. The bike is in decent shape but can use a finer tune up to fit my body/position but otherwise, it works as a starter road bike. I just need to buy pedals, shoes, helmet and bike shorts. Otherwise, I'm set and ready to go!
How exciting! I'm well on my way with training for a tri. Finally! I jogged two miles this past Sunday with a little knee soreness which went away after the first mile. Legs felt good overall and I have never been happier to be running again. A truly great feeling.
Yesterday, I had my first swim lesson at the Y and that went fairly well. A couple things I need to work on; my breathing and my arm stroke. My legs were a bit stiff in the water and I had trouble bending my knees. It might have been because of my short jog the other day and the half hour of test riding the bike before my swim class.
I planned to go for another jog today but I think I should probably sit this day out and recoup. Dodgeball starts tomorrow..
