Towpath

More cross training tonight. 4.5 mile run, at just less than 10min/mile pace followed immediately by a fast 600m swim. Now I'm on the 2 mile stroll home down the canal. It's quiet and peaceful and pleasantly warm.

Had many triathlon based thoughts today, mainly considering my bike. I currently have a full suspension mountain bike. To my horror, today I discovered it is completely unsuitable for Cockerham. Been looking into the many possibilities re: purchasing a more appropriate bicycle, probably a hybrid. This is an expensive concept. Found one on ebay that may, just may, sell in my price range but I'm not hopeful.

I knew I was going to have to invest in a new bike eventually buy I hadn't banked, literally, on it being so soon. Thankfully, we have a cycle scheme at work so that is an option, just one I have to think about very carefully.

Definitely not looking forward to the time when I have to purchase a proper tri bike, they come with four figure price tags. Eeek.
