After this mornings trial ride on the bike for next weeks race, I realized that my bike is much too heavy to try and be racing with. I love my bike though. It is an awesome Trek all terrain bike and I love that I can go off roading with it. But when I see all of these other riders with their skinny street tires and bikes so light you can lift them with one finger, makes me wonder if riding in this race is a good idea. Granted, it is supposed to be fun. And the trial ride was fun and I finished in the middle of the pack. I guess that is not too bad, but imagine what I could do on a true racing bike. I could probably fly. I do not want to give up my Trek though. I am still going to ride in this 15K race and I will probably do okay. My average time for completing a mile is about 4:00 minutes so this race should be over in around 36 to 40. That is what I am shooting for any ways. The sick part, my goal time is about 15 minutes faster than what some of these other people can finish in. Scary! I will be posting more about this after next weekends race.
The following week is the 5K race for the corporate challenge. I have been training pretty regularly for this and hope to post a better time than my last 5K race. We shall see what happens. Speaking of running, time to hit the road.
