Today I spent an hour spinning on my bike downstairs. I don't know how hard I went or how long I went. I do know that I was pretty tired by the end though. I had hoped that I'd feel o.k. enough to run a few miles after cycling but I was toast.
I realize I badly need to buy a bike or at least a computer, but I don't want to run out and buy a bike that won't be a good fit. These triathlon bikes aren't bikes you can pick up at the local Target – they are expensive. Some of these things cost more than a good used car, and that doesn't include all the add-ons that I'm sure I'll need. So, I'm researching as quickly as I can for the best bike for me – hopefully I'll have one within a few weeks. The weather outside is still too cold to permit any riding, so there isn't that pressure. But because my current bike doesn't have a computer on it (and because I don't want to buy a computer until I have my new bike) – I'm clueless about how fast, hard or long I'm going. It's very frustrating.
The one piece of good news – my rear end seems to be getting acclimated to the bike – no soreness or numbness - and that's a very good thing.
