The Bike is Bought!

Ever since Andrew got his mountain bike a few weeks ago he has been wanting me to get a bike so we can ride together. Problem is, I dont ride trails (one time i did, i landed on my face pretty much). And, I wanted to try and train for a triathlon so I didnt want a mountain bike but I knew I wasnt IronMan enough for a road bike. So we settled on a hybrid (cross between mountain and road bike so we can ride together). Its great, especially with the touch of "Missy."

Now I just need to sign up for the Triathlon to make myself actually do it. Oct 11 is the date! I have yet decided if Im actually going to take the next 12 weeks and train. There is an 800m swim which I could jump in the pool and do now. Tricky part-in the lake. Then the 24 mile bike--i currently dont bike but I will soon because....

we bought the bike! Yikes! This makes me HAVE to to the triathlon. Lastly there is the 3.2mi run, which I could do right now as well. But--doing all back to back--thats the problem I run into. Im pretty sure the course is fairly flat (I mean Im pretty sure ive conquered any ant hill that i might have to bike or run while running in bham). But still, all back to back--whoa! We shall see. Training starts monday. Not registered yet, but training starts!

Plus--how could not wanna ride this bike with this fun minor missy detail on the bike..

I put a fun pink bottle holder on it! I had to have a touch of girl on it. Plus a cute water bottle. Im sure Ill switch out the cuteness for a good water bottle come Oct 11th if I stay into it. Along with the bike, I got some cute biking gear! Cant waste all the cuteness! =)
