My bike today was a disaster!  I was planning on a long (20 mile) ride here at the lake.  When I went in to get my bike out of the garage to put it on the car, the back tire was flat.  I took it as an opportunity to practice with CO2 cartridges, and changed out the tube (and I also realized that the frame pump I'd been carrying was a schraeder, unlike my tubes :)).  I brought the bike here, and the tire was still completely full, so I went out for my ride (which was, by the way, a painful headwindy slog).  About 3 and a half miles in I notice something feels funny, so I looked down and the back tire was completely flat.  I tried to fill it with my remaining CO2 cartridge, but it just deflated immediately.  I had another tube, but no pump and no CO2 cartridges left, so I called my husband to come and pick me up.  I had been aware of the possibility of him coming to get me, so he wasn't surprised.  Except that I had locked the car and taken the key :) (DUH!).  So he had to borrow a friend's car.  Now I hope I can figure out what's wrong with the rim/tire/tube so that I can get some riding in before the tri!

To make up for the bike, I went out for a run, which was very nice.  I ran with one of our neighbors here, who is just getting back into working out, but has long legs so it was still a good run.

I did a small brick (bricklet??) today- I was going to do 2 loops of the bike, but it was really windy and I wasn't sure I'd make it back in time to drive my son to camp, so I added a short run on instead.  I really need to get out on the bike more- I'm still nervous on it, but I live in a tough area, with either hills, big intersections, or road construction in every direction.  We are moving though probably- we bought a house close by but at the bottom of the hill, so at least I don't have to worry about the killer hill at the end of the ride :).  Off to Chicago tomorrow for a meeting, so this is functionally my last day as a resident :).
