So, I went out for a BEEE-YOU-TI-FULLLL outing tonight, more of a "getting to know each other" easy hour-long training ride with my new Cannondale- you know, the learning-how-to-use-the-drops-and-hand-signaling-and-water-bottle-drinking-and-feet-unstrapping-and-sharing-road-with-car-and-cruising-and-how-fast-can-I-go-anyhow-and-maybe-public-spandex-wearing-is-okay-and-did-a-bug-just-get-stuck-in-my-teeth?-ride.

It was fantastic. I'm primarily a runner, and I've found this marathon training program that has me running 3 days a week (all hard workouts/distance) and cross-training for 2 to 3 other days.

Well hello! Perfect! You mean I HAVE to ride my bike for my marathon training? Happy happy!

Thing is, I KNOW my fav running loops inside out, and my new Topeak bike computer is claiming it took me 45 minutes to ride 5 miles! I don't even RUN that slow! It's actually about twice the distance. I think the setup is okay on the wheel- the magnet is on the spoke within the sensor limits on the pickup, and I measured out the wheel (23X700c) circumference at 2100mm (and I confess, I'm such a nerd that I calculated it too, at 2110mm), so that's okay.

WTF? Any ideas? It's not the biggest deal, but my ego really really wants to see my speed at the correct number...... that's half the fun!
