Day 33

Well it happened. I was out on a bike ride this morning when it "broke". I just knew this would happen sooner or later. Silly me for thinking it would not happen any time soon.

I was in the middle of doing two mile "loops" in my neighborhood. I was huffing away at a decent size hill when in the middle of shifting the chain came off. I did not realize that is what it was (obviously not bike savvy yet). So I had to do the walk of shame all the way back home (about 1/2 mile). Whenever a car drove by, I wanted to shout "I am not being lazy; the bike broke!".

When I got home, Kevin fixed it and showed me how to do it if it happens again. The funny thing is I did not realize that you could shift the bike on the left. I never noticed it. Here I am shifting on the right all this time. No wonder I am so slow! It will be interesting to go out again and see if this improves my time.

I was going to swim today but Kevin had to get a procedure done and the Dr. was late. Open swim is only from 12-3 so it is limited. Tomorrow I will do a long bike ride, and attempt to run right after (eeks, a "brick" work-out).
