bike versus us

Just one final mention of The Cure...the concert was a blast! It was amazing to see and hear a band that has created 30 years of hits. Britt was impressed and impressive. She showed off her limited dance moves. Oh, those lucky people that sat behind us.

Today was a historical day for our triathlon journey. We took our brand-new road bikes for a spin. Slightly less than 4 minutes into practicing clipping in and out, Britt got quite the gash on her shin. She also ended our ride by falling off her bike. No worries though...only minor injuries and a bruised ego. Plus, Chicago Traffic Management and a few Cub fans got some entertainment.

SCORE: bike - 2, Britt - 0

Next on our bike list: getting comfortable with shifting gears, learning how to drink/eat while riding, figuring out our computers, and learning how to change a flat. Not to mention hill training. Thank goodness swimming and running are light on gear!
