Headed out this morning for a sunrise cycle - the second outing on the new road bike. I covered 14 miles and shaved between 3 and 4 minutes off the time that I was doing it on the mountain bike. It feels good and responsive. However, the hills are a bit harder due to the difference in the gearing. Definitely easier gearing on the mountain bike for uphills - which makes sense! But on the new one I can stand up and pedal which definitely powers me up the hills quicker. So all-in-all, I am happy with it. Just need to up the miles a bit more to get some more endurance into the cycling. But as the first triathlon is only a 12 mile cycle, I'm not too worried about increasing it straight away.
Been a bit lazy with the blogging over the last week. With only three more weeks of full training before the first triathlon, I'll try and keep the updates coming thick and fast!
