I got a new Cannondale CAAD 9. It is a beautiful bike and fits me perfectly. I am 6’5″ tall and I needed a bigger bike (63 cm). The old 45 pound Raliegh has been retired and replaced with a 20lb fast bike. The bike cost 799.00 which was a great deal (100.00 off regular [...]

Completed in 1:15. 3 Minutes slower than last time. 8 minutes for the swim; got kicked in the face and I elbowed someone. On the bike I averaged 19-20 mph. So doing very well. But the run. The run killed me. It may have been the week that I was sick, but the run was [...]
I got a new bike seat for 29.99 at sports authority that is skinner than my original but gives me more freedom of leg movement. The longer seat post I go really made a difference in my body geometry and the slimmer seat helps even more. (New on the left, old on the right) If [...]
