Heavy into logistics now and starting to confirm details.... The bike is always the most stressful part. I contacted the bike shop in Alabama where I will race next month. The shop manager had some good news and some bad news. This is what he wrote:
We
sold the Cervelo S5 we spoke of last time, and you'll now get to ride a 2013 S5
with Sram Red. It'll be a memorable bike leg for sure!
Not knowing anything about the bike he alluded to, I ran to the computer to check. OMG! What a sweet ride. I probably won't do it justice but I will try like heck. SOOOOOO excited (can you hear the squeal?).
In the meantime, I am off to Long Boat Key for a week for a family vacation and have been fortunate enough to connect with a local Masters swim club and a local cycling club. Both are taking me under their wing and I've got some great workouts planned. What a great season this is shaping up to be. Back at 'ya after vacation.
