Thanks to my blogging yesterday I got caught up on Gunny Girl's blog and found some extra enthusiasm for hitting the road last night. I did the Gold Nugget triathlon last month and had very few miles on my vintage Schwinn before the race. I have no idea how many miles actually because it took me a while to realize there were two batteries on my wireless computer and get them replaced. And then I measured my distance in km. Mostly because I can't figure out how to change it to miles.
It was a fun race even without enough training and my time was not much different than 5 years ago. And I still suck at swimming. But back to last night's ride. I had originally planned to bike to work, but bailed when I saw it raining. Hatman wanted to ride after work since he now also has a vintage Schwinn road bike (thanks craigslist) and he did some tuning on it last weekend. It poured rain. I mean really dumped. We perservered and he got to see a bit more of the trails, including the coastal trail. Did I mention it was 46 degrees? Somehow the temperature is not in metric, just speed and distance. Which turned out to be 31 km. In a couple days he will recover and we can go again.
