GM peeps.  60's here all week.  Too bad I can't skip out on work, but now that we changed the clocks ahead, it gets dark at 7!! So I can prob get some rides in at night.

Scored an unbelievable deal on a new Mountain Bike. Some friends just bought the 2012 Specialized Epic Comp 29"er. It's $3500. I was really in need of a new race bike. But didnt want to spend that much money right now. Long story short, found a local guy selling his 2012 Epic Comp.  He busted his ankle up in motorcross, and needed to sell his bike.  I talked him downt o $1,900!!  What a steal. And it's been ridden about 8-10 times.  Normally for racing, I'd ride a Hard Tail.  But this is full suspension, and made for racing.  It's as light and as fast as a hardtail. and the rear suspension has this new technology that Specialized calls "the Brain".  It happens to know when to compress and when not to, especially when sprinting. 

Have a great day

So my Dad, who has been a bit less than supportive about tris, offers to go halves with me on a bike last night.  So weird.  So I guess we'll see what the fitting on Saturday gives me and I'll move forward from there. 

Today's swim was okay I guess.  Really wish I could piece together 2 good swims in a row.  I need a vacation from my vacation.

 

For Kelly:

rizer22 - 2012-03-13 2:21 PM Question regarding sugars.  I use Myfitnesspal to log food, and my sugar is always way over, all becuase of the amount of fruit I take in.  Other than that, my other sugars are limited.  Is this still an issue?

I've been in a bit of a funk lately -- being sick, having to deal with athsma issues and lots of stress at work.  I haven't been hitting my training marks and its bummed me out quite a bit.  I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I ran 3 x 1 mile repeats.  They were solid:

Mile 1 - 6:47 / 162 bpm
Mile 2 - 6:28 / 166 bpm
Mile 3 - 6:40 /163 bpm

Now I just have to figure out why I can't put together a 20:30 5K.

How much rest in between each mile?
