Bike portion o the BRICK for today. I had every intention of making this a hard, fast workout. It didn't happen. I tried, but my legs just didn't want to cooperate. I was tired, did not have a lot of energy and pretty much just gave up trying real hard part-way through. I was obviously feeling the effect of the big workouts from the weekend and I realized that I didn't want to completely screw myself on effort in preparation for the TRI this weekend. The ride was a mess for other reasons too. I wore the yellow safety-glasses and they kept fogging over in the humidity, so I put them up on my helmet, where they were not real secure and they subsequently fell off. I had to stop and go back for them. Then when I was coming down University Ave towards East, my bike computer spontaneously reset itself. That pissed me off, because it is not the first time that that has happened. I need to consider a new one. Not a good ride, overall, but it didn't feel awful either.

Again, I was really not interested in practicing the transition, but I did want to try to make it a little bit quicker. I did the transition in the garage this time, so that I had to take the time to rack my bike up on the wall. I then tried to pick up the pace changing shoes. It took me 59 seconds before I was started running. This is better.
