Duathlon
Thanks to the gentle nudging of Sabrina, I signed up to compete in the Tuacahn Duathlon this last Saturday. All the Bird sister-in-laws competed (even amidst great challenges!! i.e. pregnancy, recent c-sections), and we made a fun morning out of it.
I had a great time. All that positive work-out energy returned (I had missed it for so long). I felt stronger than I have in a long time, but it came with a lot of work. I attended spin class regularly all winter long, and ran and ran on the stupid treadmill (sorry mr. treadmill, you are so boring) doing interval training all winter long. I guess all that training paid off.

I was prepared to sign-up for the summer games triathlon, but it conflicted with a family reunion...so my first tri is still somewhere in the future...they sound so fun!
I'm looking for a bike. Any suggestions on what kind or where to get it?
