So today after a sluggish swim session and a crummy day at work, I had to pull the plug on my evening ride. Needless to say it takes a lot for me to miss/skip a workout, so of course I "asked" Jack whether I could, and of course he said yes. It was at this point that it struck me. Having 6 years of solid cycling under my belt I figured I could jump in and handle the two a day work outs no problem. I mean heck, I used to be one of those snooty road bikers who shunned triathletes and figured what do they know about hard training. Well needless to say I had a very humbling moment today. For all you roadies out there, the next time you see a triathlete out there on the road, given them a friendly wave. If you pass one, don't poke fun but rather acknowledge that they, just like you, are out training for an event... an event very difffernt than your own, and it could just be their second work out of the day!
The humbled roadie turned triathlete signing off!
