Old School Training

This morning I got up and out for a bike ride down here in Englewood. I threw my Garmin on my Dad’s Peugeot. In it’s day it was a really nice bike, it is in rough shape now though. It has been through a couple of floods and in need of some work. I did a loop up to Manasota Beach and back, it was actually not that bad of a ride. I had a little head wind on the way up, but it was nice coming back. The bike held up over the 25 miles ok, no flats!!! The shifters are on the down tube, but since there are few hills I did little shifting. The pedals are just plain vanilla pedals, not even baskets. The handlebars need to be taped again, as of right now they have some foam cushion that is wearing off and got all over. The tires seemed to have water in them or are in serious need of truing. Oh yeah, no water bottle cage!! Here is the loop http://connect.garmin.com/activity/64548684.

I also did some swimming this afternoon, at the outdoor pool. I just did a straight 3000 yard swim in about 45 minutes, nothing fancy. It was pretty cold out but the water was 83 so it was nice in the water, but fridge getting out! There were only a couple of us in the pool and it ended up just being me at the end.
