]]> Living in the midwest has it’s disadvantages when it comes to triathlon training.  There are several months each year when it’s not practical to get out and ride – though most “hard core” athletes will run outdoors all year ’round.  And swimming?  Well we only get a few months of outdoor swimming, for even the most dedicated of triathletes.

Well, today it seems we’ve turned a corner.  I knew it when I stepped out my back door at 5am to let the dog out that spring was in the air.  It just SMELLED good!!  A little light rain and mild temperatures gave me a taste of what I’ve been waiting for since October.  Could it be spring??  Let the outdoor riding begin!
