New Bike

YEEE HAWWW!

I have to admit I have mixed feeling about my new Cervelo P2C. Part of me feels like I don't deserve such a nice bike. It was uber expensive. I have spent A LOT of money on this sport. A disturbing amount of money. Between bikes, wetsuits, heart rate monitors....I don't dare tally up the $. It is a lot of house payments.

Most of the purchases I have made are necessary. The bike??? I am questioning. This is my bike for the next ???? forever! I just need to upgrade the wheels and buy a set of racing wheels. I will do that in 2010. I plan to ride the 2009 season on the wheels that came with it. I just can not justify spending another $1500 on race wheels. The bike will fly. I am sure of it.

I plan to take off another 10 pounds this winter. That will put me at my ideal weight. Riding lighter will certainly up my speed. My goal is to average at least 20 mph. I also plan on taking spin classes this winter. According to the bike shop guy spinning will help me with my pedaling. I need help in that department. Technically, if I work hard this winter I should be placing next year. Maybe not at the big races, but at some of the small ones.

She is all mine now. No going back. I am the proud owner of P2C!

Yep! I am a bad blogger. I am back again. From a long hibernation. This should be expected. Why you ask? Because I don't do well with the change of the seasons AT ALL. I remember one October several years back where my husband and I pretty much slept through most of October.

No,I did not sleep through October this year. I actually began the process of working out again. I have dropped another 5 pounds. I need to drop another 15 before we go to Costa Rica. I have been good this week. Watching my points. Drinking my water. Working out almost every day.

I am contemplating spinning. It sounds fun. It sounds like it is a great workout. The only problem is that I would have to leave my house by 5 am. Yikes. That is early.

I will try to be a better blogger from this point forward. I promise!
