Kickass day today. Got the bike in and out of the shop, got shoes on order, bike has a computer so I can stop trying to estimate how much time I waste waiting for stoplights. Great swim, then a beautiful day for a ride, even though it was windy as all get out.
Gonna stick w/the stock pedals that came w/the bike for the time being, they’re combo clipless/flats, so I’m not always stuck with having to use the clipless. I’ve heard of issues w/hotspots w/the platform, but we’ll see. Worst case scenario I try something else later. LBS’ supplier was out of the size I need in the “women’s” version, so they’re ordering the men’s version for me - which is fine by me, they’re just plain black. The colors on the women’s cycling shoes pretty much make me want to vomit anyway.
Also hit the uni swim shop and picked up some new suits. My tried & true speedo just isn’t gonna last a whole lot longer, and now I have to hit the pool more to justify the purchase. :) The TI stuff is working really, really well for the swimming - Did almost 30 minutes of drills before doing any actual swimming - just did a 100M for time reasons, but it felt great, basically no fatigue at all, and a decent pace for me. I may not have to have my ass dragged out of the water at Lake Montclair after all if I can keep this up. (I am adding a third swim workout per week to my plan just to be safe, LOL.)
