Officially a Wannabe

Today is technically a rest day but I didn't go all out in my workouts this weekend so I thought I'd take the Contessa out for a spin after work. I met M and the adorable Cooper on the path. While they ran down the path and stopped so Cooper could smell the ground and go to the bathroom, I biked up and down a few times between Christopher Street and the World Financial Center. It was good practice for clipping in and out and shifting gears. The Path was crowded with joggers and roller-bladers and kids on trikes going in and out of lanes, it was an obstacle course to say the least. My pedals are new and stiff, I need to break them in and wear them down. It's still a bit of a struggle to get my left foot clipped in. When I headed home I turned down a road that turned out to be all cobblestone. Big Mistake! I'm learning. Quickly! My legs are still pretty sore from yesterday's workout with V so I took it easy on the bike. I should have stayed with M and Cooper. They ran into Tony Soprano and his new pooch in Tribeca. Yes, Cooper sniffed a celebrity dog's behind.

As of today I'm officially a USA Tri-athlete! Well, I'm a member of USAT. I also signed up for a sprint tri at the end of June. I'm so on my way to becoming an even more serious wannabe tri-athlete! Whoooohooo!
