Bike Upgrade

The first triathlon of the season, the Heritage Park triathlon, is coming up on Sunday, followed up quickly by the KC Triathlon the following Sunday. One thing that has been worrying me has been my bike, which I haven't taken very good care of since I got it five years ago. Thankfully, all it needed was a tune up, and I have to say Cycle Works in Lawrence did a fantastic job. While I was at it I got aero-bars and a trunk rack (so I don't have to stuff my bike into my car).

If you haven't noticed from the twitter feed, I recently picked up another new toy



I bought a Garmin Forerunner 310 XT from my employer my favorite company ever. This lets me record the position, pace, and heart rate of every workout I do and let me share them online. It's also waterproof, and designed specifically for triathlons (it won't record underwater, but it will record the time spent during a swim).

4 days until the season begins!
