Finally, after months of bugging the folks at Jack and Adam’s, I purchased a bike. I went with the Kuota, though it was a super tough choice. I thought the QR was the most stable, the Felt was the most comfortable, and the Kuota was the fastest/lightest, so I went with the fastest/lightest option. It’ll take a little bit of getting used to, but I’m really excited about it! I think this means Robin and I have the same tri bike. Is that right, Robin?

The bad news from the weekend is that I hurt my knee playing tennis yesterday. I felt something as soon as I did it, but it wasn’t terrible, so I played a few more games and tried to shake out the twinge that I felt. Then I went home and realized it was getting more sore by the hour. By the time I woke up this morning, it was super stiff, and I couldn’t run. I ended up walking the Race for the Cure. When I rode afterwards, it felt fine. The cycling motion doesn’t seem to bother it, but running does. I’m hopeful that whatever I did was minor and that the inflammation will go down in a few days. Keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers for me.

Next weekend, I’m supposed to bike Wurst Fest, which is 62 miles, on Saturday and then run a 10 mile race on Sunday. I really want to be able to do both, but it’ll entirely depend on the knee.

The plan for this week:

Monday: Spin (am)
Tuesday: Swim (am)
Wednesday: Spin (am), Run (am)
Thursday: Swim (am), Run (pm)
Friday: Spin (am)
Saturday: Ride (Wurst Fest)
Sunday: Run (10 miler)

Again, it’ll totally depend on the knee.
