Well, I have not posted much on my progress to getting in shape for the sprint tri in August in a while,
CAUSE THERE IS NONE.
Im in one of the bigger downers Ive been in and not sure why probably going on at least a month now.
Not many work outs, have swam a few time (twice this week) Got along way to go before Im ready for .5mile open swim.
My bike SUCKS the rear wheel is out of true and shifting sucks, so I started looking for a bike a few months ago.
Yes I put in for tibbs OCR while back not cause I can't afford one but cause if someone gave me a bike, that would have been huge motivation to get out and ride it. Well my search has lead me to a cyclocross style bike, but there pretty much over a grand and I aint going that high for a bike $700 is going to be about it. Kona makes one called the Jake, (Sora level components but would have to do) $750. But no one has one to ride, and not sure how it would fit. Most Kona dealers are mountain bike folks and fit does not seem to be an issue for them I dont get it but just the way it is. Oh ya kona may be out of stock till june on them anyway. I feel I have wasted LOTS of time for nothing on this. Been watching ebay but no good deals there. Though there is an Airborne Carpe Deim there now but Im sure this will have a reserve well over 1grand ( its about a $2500 bike new).
So lets see, I have riden the peice of crap a few times. Have a bet with a co-worker that I will do at least half of the miles he does this year, (he has 80 in already) so I better get going. He will only count what gets measured by my bike computer which I need to get mounted.
Weight loss umm guess I should say weight change was holding 230 for some time then stopped checking just got on the scale 233. not to bad but in the wrong direction. 6' tall if your wondering.
Oh ya I was on track for a shot at a big promotion this year or next at work, well companies in the shits and no raises or promo's this year, and who knows about next.
Ok, enough bitching and moaning, going to go sulk in front of the TV watching Star Wars with the Family. Maybe I'll get the catseye on the bike and try to put in a few miles tomorrow.
on the swim side of thing need to stop after maybe 100 or 200 yds at most. I am SOOOO out of shape its beyond funny.
bye bye. I have no idea why I just dumped this all here other then oh shit it doesn't matter. Ok gotta stop now this is becoming a stream of consciencnious thing and that could get ugly really quick.
