Bringing back a post from the dead....
Just finished my first tri of the season.... The bike portion is MTB and it kicked my tail. I was not prepared like I should have been, but I didn't die.... The climbing really took it out of my legs, I have only been on the MTB 1 time since the Fall and my legs felt it.(have been doing some road riding, mostly work commute)
Anyway.... Tis the season for triathlons....
Now it is time to start drinking beer and pick myself out a nice "finished" cigar....
