Even when training for a triathlon it is still all about the bike!

So I guess this is pretty tough as they ride and run you to your limit. Oh well, I’ll get to try the Cheesecake Factory afterwards so life will be back to good! I am very excited to have a professional bike fit for the Scott as well and am excited about the Spinscan. I am sure he'll say I am a fatty and any lack of growth in my gut will help me grow as a cyclist. I’ll post a report about it when we return.
Also, last night I took the $50 plunge. I must be on crack! I signed up for the Horribly Hilly Hundreds ride. It is a 200K (over 124 miles) one-day bike ride with over 10,000 feet of vertical climbing, all in Wisconsin. Here’s to hoping I can survive the 10+ hours of torture!
No potatoes in February is going strong so far!!! Just have to hide the tots and give away a can of pringles...
Weekend should be a good time as well! I wonder what Hez is doing right now?
Wow, another training update (or lack there of.) On Saturday I hurt my knees. I took a very hard & quick fall onto both knees while playing basketball. Didn’t think it was much but after two sessions of basketball and a 5 mile run on Monday my left knee is killing me. Felt like I bruised the stuff under my knee cap, if I take a blow to the cap it cripples me, if I push on it it feels like a bruise. Tuesday was a tough day, the knee is sore but loose today so I should be ready for tomorrow. What is tomorrow you might ask? Tomorrow I am getting Performance tested and my bike fit in Chicago. Former cycling pro (with a long resume) Robbie Ventura will be doing it for me!

Sorry J.Bro, they have their Tuesday spinning thing but I don't have that 2-hour lunch luxury like they have...thus I prefer to run at lunch.
No one else will sign up because they are afraid to ride bikes and stuff!

Wait - is it even going to be possible for me to ride that far on a Fastback that's only a Comp? From TWO YEARS ago? If someone wanted to put a nice 2005 Pro or Ltd under my desk, I wouldn't turn it down.
