We had our first brick this Saturday. aka - bike run ick. though in this case it was run bike run ick. As usual, I went to bed to pouring rain, and woke up to a almost bright sky, with no rain. We ran a mile for warmup, then hopped on our bikes. I was excited to see if my clipon pedals made me any faster... so I sped off (after my slow transition, since I now must change shoes!). We were told which street to turn around at for 8 miles, and for 10 miles. So I biked, and I biked, and I found neither streets. I was looking for 65th, and finally found 70th, (and no bikers around me) and decided I had gone too far. I turned around, and found my mom, who had managed to find 65th (but was looking for 60th?) but had a bike computer to tell her she'd reached 5 miles.
So when I finally made it back, I was grumpy, and only did a one mile run (instead of two)... hmph. Then we went to essential bakery and ate LOTS of yummy carbs.
It turns out I only biked 11 miles, so I didn't go too far off course. But I think I somehow am slower w/ my new fancy schmancy bike shoes. Hmph. Who knows.
