new bike
I got a new bike last week and have been able to try it out over the weekend. Though the color is not my favorite, here are a few of my favorite things about the bike:
1. the deal I got
2. helps me ride faster
3. my "geometry" is better
4. clip on pedals and shoes
5. the shoes will work for spin class too
6. probably no one else will have a bike this color!
7. more aerodynamic
8. gears easier to adjust
9. holds more tire pressure
10. finally my water bottle cage matches my bike!

Lonestar Olympic Triathlon 2010: the run
After completing the cycling portion of the triathlon, here are a few of my favorite things about the run:
1. the fully opening knee brace worked well and was quick to put on
2. port a potty right next to gate
3. they moved the gate exit down towards our transition area
4. a quick transition
5. plenty of water stations
6. kids with water guns!
7. hearing all the folks cheering us on-folks in the crowd, my son and his friends, my mother in law, my new friends
8. fun, loud music
9. not walking any portion of it
10. my foot never really bothered me!
