Another brick laid down!

The weather is such a fickle thing. Last week was sweating up a storm with shorts on. Today, I am in running pants with an underarmor shirt on! Oh well:) Laid another brick in the path leading to the duathlon. Ran 3 mile then hopped my the bike for 40 minutes (8 miles) then off to run 2 miles. I am really focusing on speeding up my bike portion so instead of mileage, I focused more on time. I gave myself 40 minutes on the bike.Wind is not my friend on the bike. I do not particularly like it running either but it is worse on the bike. I am discovering that I need to crouch down more and try and keep my elbows in. I seem to move faster that way. I am understanding the reason behind why the avid bicyclist have the toe clips on their bikes. My foot slipped off my pedal twice. A good neighbor of mine told me not to give up that bicycling is like running...you only get better with the more miles you put on. Since this is my first attempt to do anything like this, I will keep on pedalling forward.
