dum dum dum dadalum dum.......
I have a new shiny bike. Cervello P2 red, black and white. Pretty damn sexy if i do say so myself.
I have saved for her for a long time, and it was a great day to buy a bike. My eleven year old son Jett has a great love of biking and he was the perfect person to help me pick out this special love machine. I looked at a few other bikes, but when the fellow put this one on the trainer to fit me, he barely had to adjust anything, it was meant to be!! I was giddy and giggly and was a total girl. Seriously, i was a little overwhelmed. Spending so much on myself is a huge step out of some dark places i have been lately. Believing you deserve something, and actually going for it and buying it are two very different things.
i have no remorse.
I took her out on the road for a cool 40km ride and was blown away by the position i am in on a properly fitted tri bike. It felt great, just very different. Different great in the way that I think i can now understand how to get some power out of these legs of mine.
I have no more excuses.
Oh, ya and I sprung for a really cool seat, it looks like an extra large grey vulva. yes you read that right. It has a space in between the two "lips" at the front of the seat so i have my weight on a more agreeable part of my anatomy. My parts are going to thank me!!
Mother nature is not being too cooperative with good cycling weather, so I have only had the pleasure of her company for one ride, but hopefully this weekend will bring some good conditions.
My training for the policeman's half marathon on April25th was going great until i tweaked my calf running today. I had a two hour steady run on the slate, but i shot out of my house like i was doing a 45 minute tempo run. I have some good jump in my old legs these days, but I need to warm up before i do that jumping!!
I still feel like I need to remind myself every once in a while that I am training for a freaking ironman. This is huge and i need to honor my decision to enter this race and make each training hour count, demand the best from myself.
This is no time for garbage miles, half ass efforts, whining or shortcuts.
it is time to shut up and put out!!!haha

Wheres the pictures? You cant talk about your new bike with out posting some bike porn.
a grey vuvla..... baaa haaa
I second Diesel. We need a pic of you on the bike.
And the name!!! The name of your bike is important. Even if it takes a while for the bike to tell you. Some people know right away. It took me a couple rides.
You totally deserve it. Feel no guilt!! It's only money, you can always earn more, and no amount of money in the bank will replace the fun you are going to have.
still have not seen your bike or at least a pic of your bike.....and a name??? no bike can be ridden and not have a name!!
