i bought my bike yesterday! shoutout to conte’s bicycles in ballston. it’s a pretty sweet road bike that i’ll be riding in the triathlon this summer, but hopefully also a lot more than that. i took it for a 20+ mile ride today…and i’m pretty physically tired. but i’m mentally and emotionally pumped after having completed the ride. it felt great.

it’s official. i’ve signed myself up for the philadelphia she rox triathlon (sprint distance) on august 3rd of this year. i’m super excited, a little scared, and totally ready to commit myself to training!! it’s gonna be a long and tough road from here to tri day, but i’ll have support: my girlfriend is also gonna do it! we’re going to train together, and have already started swimming 2-3 times a week. it’s great having a partner to train with and to share the experience with. i’m out of shape now, but hopefully things will get easier and better as time passes.
about 8 separate times…but it was because i stayed up late last night talking to my girlfriend. it was a great conversation, and it feels amazing to continue to get to know her better. i can feel us becoming closer as the days go by…
