Hey guys,
Today was one of those days where you had to go and do something you didn't necessarily have in mind when you got up this morning. It was almost time to go home at school, with only about 10 minutes left in class, when the rain started to pour down. Really? Come on mother nature, I was going to do a hour ride outside today! So, like any other triathlete, I reluctantly got my trainer out and put it in the garage. My garage is where most of my trainer rides take place, but this garage space also serves as a part time oven when I'm cycling in there. In just 10 minutes, I had a pretty sizable sweat puddle underneath my bike. This wasn't great, but I sweat a lot, I know this, but it still gets annoying when you sweat that much. The motivation it takes to keep going through that much exercise is intense, especially when you start to overheat. I know I'm not the only one who hates/dislikes trainer rides, but I wish that on some days you could just have a perfect blend of man and machine, just a perfect mix of beauty, speed, power, efficiency, and pure joy of getting out and riding your bike.
Tri hard everybody-remember that. You have to do what you love in order to be happy, and if that's riding your bike, swimming a few miles, or getting out for a run, by all means, do it. If it's all three, then you're doing just fine.
Through all our races, you've gotta have some fun out of it. This is my first time just casually swimming in White Lake.
