p!mp my ride
Saturday afternoon I ran about five miles with some friends in some pretty decent weather. It was the first time I’ve ran outside in a long time and not needed a hat or gloves.
However the big news of the weekend was that I purchased a new ride. I made the big jump and bought an all-out triathlon bike, a 2005 Felt S25. Now I wasn’t planning to purchase a tri bike until this summer, but a local bike shop, Great Lakes Cycles, was having an absolutely killer deal for Team in Training members. I ended up with over 20% off on the bike, wich is unheard of, especially for a current model year bike. The margins on new bikes are so thin that the best you can normally hope for is $50 under sticker. I don’t know how they did it, but I appreciate it. Right now my steed is on order, and I should be able to pick it up this weekend or sometime early next week. I’m totally geeked!
