Rough Night

[Tri Girl]

Welcome to TE. Glad you're OK!! What a horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad day!
Tomorrow HAS to be better.

Glad to have you around. Good luck with your TNT training and experience. I did a marathon with them a few years ago, and it was the most fun I've ever had training and racing. Which ride are you doing?

Hey ladies!

Thanks for the support!

Today was not much better, so I decided it was in my best interest to stay on my feet instead of two wheels. At least I got my tire fixed!

I am doing America's Most Beautiful Ride in Tahoe on June 3rd. I did a tri with TNT 5 years ago and had a great experience. I needed some structure and some motivation, so here I am again :-)

Good for you and kudos! I too have been away from biking for about 5 years but I am BACK and this time, I plan on staying for awhile.

Let us know how your next ride turns out. Hopefully it will be a lot less painful for you.

I live in Philadelphia. I will drive to the burbs on Saturday to ride with TNT.

Hi Danielle

OMG that sure was a bad day but that's what makes all the other days good.

Do you keep a note of when you do ride and what things happen, if not you should do.

My health has been crap for the last four years and I always write how things have been, especially when I am back to riding only 2 miles again. Then I look back at what I could do and it kind of inspires me.

Look forward to hearing of your future rides, however long or short.

Ride safe.

If that's your first training ride I can't wait to hear about the century.

Hi ladies! I considered a date with my couch instead of the team ride... but I felt guilty... so off I went. We did somewhere between 45-50 miles today... no trail riding, all roads and a whole lot of hills. I had two flat tires and some major shifting problems resulting in lost and jammed chains. I can't lie... there were some laughs, but some tears too. And a few walked hills. I don't know the last time I've asked so much of my body and been so exhausted. I got through... wish I did better, but I guess I should be glad I made it...

Whew... this is hard work! The TNT coaches and mentors really came through today... I even got some pushes up some hills. Real pushes... physically pushed. How are they so strong?
