A week to the San Diego Triathlon







The San Diego Triathlon is only a week away. We have been training pretty good, but this past week was not what I was hoping as work really got in the way. I am doing the sprint and Sue is doing the sprint as a relay. I have never swam with a wetsuit before so that will be a new experience. The course looks like a great route and it should be a lot of fun.






Last night I did get out for a short bike ride. I went out on the Gateway trail to the Bruce Vento trail north to St. John's Hospital in Maplewood before turning around. On the way back I took a lap around Lake Phalen and talked with Bob Anderson of Fly Tiers for a while. He was mowing his yard as I was going by. After that I headed home.






I have been really happy with the new (new to me) bike. I have had to do a few repairs, but that would be expected for a used bike. About a month ago I lowered the stem and yesterday I noticed the headset was a little lose, easy repair. I have also had to overhaul the front hubs, and I still need to get new cone nuts as the old ones are a little pitted. Check out the pictures of the bike, it was a great purchase for $300.
