New Bikes!

So after a lot of consultation with the folks at the Bicycle Shop, my lovely wife and I got our new bikes. I got a Specialized Transition, and she got Specialized Vita. Both are beautiful. The gear shifts and (for me) the stirrups will take some getting used to, so we hope to get in a good amount of riding time over the next few weeks. Unfortunately, Sue's got a flat about 10km into our first ride. We had nothing with which to repair it, so I had to ride home as fast as I could to fetch the car to retrieve her. On the bright side, since I sprinting, I got a good feel for using the Aero-bars at speed.
Sunday we went running on the track at Rec Hall with our friend Joseph. We were going to run outside, but with the rain and with our vastly different running speeds, it made more sense to run on the track. That way we could run together at times, and when they needed to walk I could keep going.
Then later Sue and I went swimming at the white building. I was really struggling at first, but I started to get a really good rhythm going. I even tried a 50-free, and did it in 49 seconds.
