The bike has arrived!

1st week of the school holidays - a week to get myself back in the groove.. and then 8 weeks until the triathlon.  I have swam or run every day.. and then today.. I had my first ride on my new bike!

I picked the bike up yesterday from Cycle Revolution in Foxhall Road.  The bike was the only new purchase to enable me to take on this challenge.. and it was an expensive but Godly given one.  2 weeks ago.. I had a tax rebate of just under £500 - thank you God!  So picking it up was very exciting.. but also slightly petrifying too!  The very nice man at the shop (he really was a very nice man!) gave me an in-depth talk through the bike, and also inspired me to get on it - and go enjoy it!

So this morning  - my first real go.  I cycled to the Gym (2.5 miles).. swam 16 lengths.. sat in the jacuzzi for 5 mins (nice!) and then cycled back the long way round (5.5 miles).  And I am still alive!

So back on track.. tomorrow morning I plan on cycling to Park Run.. I will let you know how I get on!
