Bike Ride
I took my dad's old man bike out for a ride today, in what is hopefully the start of some semblance of a cycling training schedule. A friend of mine, Josh, recently bought a new bike, so I biked to his house to see if he wanted to go out for a ride. Alas, he was not home, so I just turned around and came back. Still, it was a nice 9.2 mile ride at an average speed of 13 mph. While I'm not really a cyclist yet, I'm pretty sure that's a terrible speed. At that speed, it would take over 8.5 hours for me to just complete the biking portion of the Ironman. Oh well, it'll get better as my legs adapt and hopefully get a boost when I get an actual road bike.

Hit a lot of stoplights? Nothing kills your average speed like stopping all the time.
ReplyDeleteA few, but really it was mostly me. I've been on a bike twice since undergrad, so those muscles aren't very developed. Yet.
