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!

Your bike is a beauty! It's sure to shave a few minutes off your time. And make training easier. =)
Okay, not only do we swim a 100 in the same amount of time, but that is the exact same bike that I want to buy. It's gotta happen this year. I love my little Fuji Ace, but it is time to upgrade!
And you make soap?! That's awesome! I definitely have to check that out; I love handcrafted soap.
