biked to swimming pool this morning. the swimming pool at takoma community center is still one of the greatest things ever. watched a few basic Total Immersion online snapshots from their videos (2minute advertisements really but including some drills and advice). did the drills and took the advice this morning and the swimming already feels easier. i need to get very good at this swimming thing.
bought new bike pedals to replace my old school cages that came with the bike...
also bought new bike shoes so i stop biking all these miles in old worn out racing flats...
bikes are just toys for grown-ups. going on a long bike ride this evening... planning on 40-45... or until it gets dark. i need lights too as the back light feel off about a week ago and as were are past june 21st it does get a little darker a little earlier every night. shame really. biking to swimming and swimming and biking home again tomorrow. might then drive to work and run during lunchtime... see what i feel like in the morning...
haven't fallen off my bike at the traffic lights cause i can't get out of my pedals... yet. but everybody says it happens when you get used to clipless pedals. oh, and the guys who helped me at performance bikes were so much help it was great. Significantly better than the grumpy mechanics i've run into at spokesetc. so i guess performance will have my money from now on out.
yay cycling. yay swimming. yay running (soon).
