Bike: 70km + 1hr spin class in 3hrs 43mins
Run: 15.63km in 1hr 36mins
Good news is I have more kilometres under my feet in the run department and I hit a new distance for my bike leg even though I had an off beginning of the week. Things are definately looking up in Barb's training world.
I often wonder if people look at me and wonder why I get so excited about the little things that I accomplish or do, but I just keep going back to what I was like at the end of 2008 - 2009 and how far I have come and cannot help but smile.
I forgot to mention yesterday too that I used a new cream on the Chamois of my cycle shorts.
Chamois Butt'r is really nice. It's easy to apply (not thick at all), has no smell to it and it washes out super easy. I took this 9ml satchet with me on my ride but was not able to re-apply on my journey as there was no-where for me to hide and do it. I knew far too many people out on the road yesterday.
I was sent these satchets by my friend Denise whom I met out on my Kiama ride a couple of weeks ago. Go to the website and check it out.
Also looking forward to tomorrow. I get my Tri bars fitted, my new seat post and my new bike computer. I feel like a kid in a candy store. Stay tuned. Photo's will be in abundance tomorrow.

I use the same chamois stuff too. I also got some samples by Assos which was quite good...
ReplyDeleteLucky!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want all that "candy";)
(I am a tad jealous...can you tell?)
Great stats for the week....you're doing awesome!
And I know what you mean about being happy in the (seemingly)little things...it IS wonderful to see how far we have come!!! Never want to go back!
Get excited about every accomplishment because you've earned them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plug Barb! Don't worry, when people realise how well the Chamois Butt'r works, they'll turn their backs when you reapply it!
ReplyDeletePatrick: it's awesome stuff isn't it.
ReplyDeleteDawn: Definately no looking back. Onwards and upwards I say.
tri like mary: Thanks so much. I am terribly excited all the time. I guess that's the joy of being a totally novice at this sport.
Denise: Hahaha, I sure hope so. It is really nice stuff, not gooey or sticky. Just enough really. Thankyou so much once again.
