Mike and I went for a 5 mile bike ride today. While this may not seem like blog worthy news to most people, it is in my case. Today was only the second time in over 10 years that I have ridden a bike (the first time was last Sunday). I really enjoyed it except for the occasional panicky feeling I got when a car passed us. Many, many years ago, I was almost hit by a car while riding my bike. Needless to say, it is an experience that I still remember in vivid detail. However, I have almost completely overcome my old fears and Mike and I are seriously considering doing a triathlon.

See how you feel tomorrow, first! :) Seriously, though, if you guys do get into the biking thing, get some of the padded shorts. I always laughed at Dad when he wore them, but now that I've started biking a lot, I bought a cheap pair just to have something to change out of when I got to work. They make a surprisingly big difference! Now I won't go more than a couple of miles without them.
I have the gel seat already, but I might get the padded shorts too. Double the cushion can't hurt, right?
The family that wears spandex together....well.... wears spandex!
Let's make it look GOOD!
Check out the Chicago TRI results...for the first time, more than 1 Fleming was in the finisher section. Way to go, Tim!
So, when is the Orlando Triathlon? I just might have to come on down. Phil (dad) Fleming
