Nibbs XXXV (Page 20)

He IS organised...I need to sit down and work out my super bike justification... anything to be learnt from his experience?

Bye Mel!

it said he would need to put aside half of his income for 3 months

Im thinking just under a third of mine for about 7 months!!!

Hey-I just found his tri schedule and goals for all of last year.  And what he would need to do in order to by a new road bike. 

and a reciept for his areo wheel-I'll put it aside.

He IS organised...I need to sit down and work out my super bike justification... anything to be learned from his experience?

Except when it comes to moving...    I guess that even then he is organized...He just doesn't get it all done

Sounds like a male version of me!!!! Lol!!!

All talk/planning/;ists...not so good on the action!

If we are talking about money left after paying rent and the necessary bills (medical and car insurance) it would take me....wait-I probably should set aside a little money for food...

oh Crap-I don't have enough money for food and am going to be scavenging at my parents.   I guess that means a new bike is out of the question.

Ive had my road bike 4 years...unfortunatley the groupset on the front is entry level and starting to show serious signs of age...if I just invest in new components I will never get around to a new bike...and Ive always wished for something different!!

Plus...I would probably be more comfortable on a slightly smaller frame so it seems this year is the time to do it...especially if I committ to my cycling this year..even if it means teaching myself early morning training!

I should add Ive decided to get a good roadie that can be set up in TT mode if I chose to go that way... not a tri bike...no interest in getting one right now...

Get my hadling up and I might try a ride on the track sometime late this year...one place does 'Try the track' sessions!! Although Ive never ridden a fixie...seems like something I might enjoy...the track I mean..

I just sent a note back to Danett and I am now going to actually turn in. 

About bikes...I am using my Diamond Back Sorento that I recieved for my 13th birthday (nearly 15 years ago)  I replaced the gear shifters, all the cables, the hand grips, the seat and the tires.  It is in fairly good condition, especially considering how much I have abused it over the years.  At some point I want a bike that is more racing appropriate, but for now I am focused on the me part of the triathlete rather than the gear part.  I will get a new wet suit before I get a new bike.  I can tell you about my unique wet suit another day...

Have a great evening Cat

Good night Yanti (if you are still around)

Good night, Melissa!

I'm going to bed myself now!

Thanks Mel and Cat!

hehe I dont own awetsuit!!

Night Mel!

Night Yanti!

Mornin' Nibbs...

THought I'd stop by before work, and before the cptr battery dies...
Really should get going to get dressed and get the boys off to daycare, then pack a bag to workout before leaving work...

I don't understand how hubby left this morning without making me a pot of coffee...
Did I do something to him and not realize it?
Maye he's ticked b/c I didn't get up to help with 2yo... who NOW has a horrible cough that evidently kept everyone up last night (except me )  That kid can't win lately....

Well.... toot te loo.... 

I just read your blogspot thing on the last finisher.  I agree, watching AG finishers is powerful stuff.

It really is. I get all teared up every time I watch Kona. And being at IMWI made me feel like literally anything is possible. There are lots of inspiring people out there!
