I'm glad you are riding - even if you still focus on running races, I have to think there are benefits to the cross training.<br /><br />The secret to running after biking in a triathlon is simple - suffer for the first mile or two and then your legs adjust...one thing I had to work on in the beginning was slowing down. I bike at a +/- 90 rpm cadence but my running stride is no where near as fast. So I was going out too hard and gassing...Patrick Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181637044657605057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-44421369315399990942010-08-14T23:05:39.703-04:002010-08-14T23:05:39.703-04:00You are totally an athlete but I also get what you...You are totally an athlete but I also get what you are saying.

Great job on your first brick and I think you are right in trying to add a little biking into your training repertoire. In the long run (pun intended), not only will you be a more well-rounded and stronger athlete, you probably will be more injury free. Keep up the great work! I am liking the pic of you at Summer Round-up and the pic heading up Pikes. You are the bomb! :-)HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-65555553177428149652010-08-14T17:06:59.629-04:002010-08-14T17:06:59.629-04:00Love the photo of you on the bike!

I started biking wearing running clothes, but alternate with a biking shirt I found on sale for $10 (pockets in the back).

I can't wait to do my first brick:) Don't feel bad about not having the cool bikers clothes...I most likely will be waiting on those too. So, are you thinking about a Tri or at least a Du? We could plan to train around the same time:) Just saying:) Take care of yourself.

We tend to clutter our closets with 'activity appropriate gear' as if it really mattered. I am one of the guilty parties here. I even have a biking skirt - how sick is that. But I don't have 'hiking' wardrobe. I hike and backpack in my running clothes. I bet I could bike in them too.Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.com
