Subject: RE: PeepSqueek Pedallers: Go Yellow!Well, I knew things were going a little too well with my training this month. Today was supposed to be my first outdoor ride and while I succeded in getting outside, my ride only lasted .13 miles...
I had just gotten clipped in a rolling when I heard and felt a large pop followed by all the tension coming out of my pedals. I instantly knew what had happened and my glace back confirmed my fears. My chain had not only come off the cog but had completely split and was laying like a tail behind my bike! OOPS. My chain not only broke, but the link that broke is bent beyond repair. Darn!!!
So, now that I'm locked on base due to an exercise next week and even worse the gym is going to be closed for the same exercise I'm going to be without any running, swimming, and worst of all, no biking until next Saturday.
Luckily I think I've built up enough of a cushion in miles that the five days (and only 2 maybe 3 actual missed bike workouts ) shouldn't effect my goal of 250. |
