Lisa and I just recently picked up some nice road bikes for getting some good exercise and just good outdoor entertainment. At the same time Rochesterfest just had it’s first annual triathlon here in Rochester. It got me to thinking…I’ve always wanted to try a triathlon and this triathlon here has a “sprint” version of it. 1/4 mile swim, 10 mile bike and 3 mile run. I can “do all three” and was thinking that would be a really good way to give a triathlon a try without having to kill myself. So I think I’m going to do a relaxed training regiment for it over the next year and give it a shot next year. So far in the last 5 days I’ve put 49.5 miles on my bike including yesterdays 27 mile ride where I was able to average 16 mph up and down some good hills and fighting a good headwind for good portion of it.
I’ll be sure to keep an update on here about my progress.
