In the beginning

For some time now I've been thinking of recording my training for the Wisconsin Ironman 2010 via blogging. So, my first entry. This is the end of my paper journal I fear.

I rode 28 miles today. November 29th in Indiana - about 55 degrees, gray, a slight rain began about 15 miles from home. It was a good ride. A rare solo ride with nothing to cloud my thinking...no need to maintain any conversations. Notably, a hawk that stood on a fence post lept into flight as I passed and soared along with me briefly at my side, about 10 yards off the road. Beautiful bird - I watched him, and he seemed to watch me.

Averaged 18.9 miles per hour. I track my rides with a Garmin 405CX watch. I ride a Cervelo Soloist 2007, aluminum. This will be my second Ironman event.
