I finally had my first fall thanks to my new bike shoes and pedals. I came up to a roundabout, just as a car was arriving. The car slowed down, and I waved them forward, intending to slide in behind the car. However, the car proceeded to turn left, without going AROUND the ROUNDabout - ie coming right in front of me and my clipped in feet. I fell, in slow motion, to the ground.
While it didn't hurt that much then, after the bike ride I found my pants had a nice blood soaked area on my knee. And my thigh now has a large bruise.
After the long bike ride (only 21 miles, but we got lost, stopped for picture, stopped for talking etc, meaning it took us over 2 hours) we went out to a large delicious breakfast.
But then we had to bike home. Granted it was only 2 miles, and flat... but man, after sitting, and eating lots, my legs where not happy! I decided if in the triathlon, we had to sit and eat a meal between the bike and run I'm not sure I could complete it! blegh.
