Subject: RE: Benihana's Group - CLOSEDHello All,
It is NOT warming up here in Chicago/Rockford area...we just got another 2 in. of snow last nite! I really need to get outside to run. I hate the treadmill. But our weather guy showed some stats from last year. It was 74 degrees on 3/14 and 80 on 3/26 in '07, so there is hope. We do have LOTS of snow that needs to melt though!
The sprint tri is on 4/27, so I have 2 mo. left to train. I timed my 500m on Wed., and without even trying hard I did it in about 11-12 min. I know that's not a great time, but I just swam at a steady pace because it was my first time doing that much without stopping. I really am not worried about the swim. My biggest worry remains the run. I hope I can easily run 3mi. soon. It still takes lots of effort. Hopefully when I can get outside, I will see some improvement.
Also, it is time that I start looking at some bikes. Can I have some suggestions on the basics that are essential for a good tri bike? Keep in mind that I really don't see myself ever doing a full tri...just being realistic. I don't want to walk into a bike shop with zero information. Boy, would they love that!
Hope everyone is doing well!
