Weak week. I’m still trying to plan out my race calendar for the next couple years and therefore I’m not yet on a training plan. Without a regimented plan I am the laziest person around. I blame my soccer days - I’m great when told what to do by a coach but when left to my own devices I’ll just play around.
My ride on Tuesday was pretty slow and short but I’m still getting used to aero position. With time I’ll get faster and go farther. Running this week was just for fun. On Sunday I had an amazing run along the country dirt roads by my parents house in New Jersey. With the crip fall weather we’ve been having I felt so alive out there running past the fields and through the woods.

Gear
A few weeks ago I picked up a Cervelo P2 tri bike. I’m absolutely in love. I’ve been spending nearly every free moment researching and buying gear and accessories, dialing in the fit, and learning as much as I can about my new sport. The front brake started sticking early this week so I brought it to my LBS - Sid’s on 19th and 7th - to check it all out. As they were going over the bike they noticed two hairline cracks in the carbon frame. They made the call that the bike isn’t fit to be ridden and that they will get me a new bike. I’m a bit surprised they didn’t catch it when I first bought it but I was still blown away by their incredible customer service. The downside is I need to wait a week or so until they get in a new P2 in my size from Cervelo. On the plus side, the few dings and scratches I got on it from my first rides with clipless pedals will be gone. I recommend Sid’s to anyone looking for anything bike related. They are rockstars with tri fit (what I’ve been doing there) but they clearly are an incredible organization that really cares about it’s customers.
