Monday, we woke up at 4:30. We ran for 2 hours & 45 minutes. The word which best describes Monday's morning run - BUGGY! Tuesday, we woke up at 5:00 with a goal to ride 2 hours. After the night's severe storms, trash (primarily broken glass) was scattered all along Lakeshore Path. While riding, Britt's back tire was punctured by a shard of glass. We successfully changed Britt's tire (yeah), this was our 3rd flat of the season. Our concern in regard to changing a tire is the amount of time it takes us and the teamwork we use. During the ironman, we must be self sufficient and change our own tire...YIKES!
Our Learnings:
>>After a storm, let the clean up crews remove debris from streets & paths before riding.
>>Our hand pump is hard & Britt's tire was only partially filled for the rest of the ride.
Tonight (Tuesday): we're doing an open-water swim. Wetsuit versus Swimsuit? Lake Michigan is warm. Do we wear our wetsuit? Yes, we need the practice. No, we don't need the hassle.
