transition from run to bike, backwards order because of cold weather. didn't want to sit on the wet ground, had to put foot warmers on over the bike shoes, etc..

bike was after the 5K run. 5 or 6 people passed me on the hills. evidence of first time on my bike in 5 months. started sleeting / freezing rain the last 2 miles of the bike. lower back was really aching 15 minutes into the ride. the horn seat was a little uncomfortable after inguinal (groin) hernia surgery back in late Feb. just could get the "boys" in a comfortable riding position...

follow a training plan

lower back stiff getting off the back

getting out wet hoodie sweatshirt, long sleeve wicking shirt, foot warmers, bike shoes.... an eternity.

had to come out of gloves and toboggan, got too hot even at 39 deg and precip.

haven't done any endurance training in a year. using Crossfit methodology to stay fit. spending most of my spare time now with kids & soccer, kids and this, kids and that.... they're more important than age group results... then hernia surgery in feb, lower back & knees, heel & elbow aging issues...
