Goldfish Triathlete

So I felt like a goldfish today.  Was it the 2000 meters swim? Surprising no.

Goldfish have  like 3 second memory... "oh look an underwater castle!" ... "oh look an underwater castle!" ... "oh look an underwater castle!" ... "oh look an underwater castle!" ...  Cyclist must too:

I took the Felt back to the Airport to ride the service road loop today after work.  65 degree weather in February generally brings wind gusts over 15 mph.  One side of the loop can be used to fully take advantage of this wind but the other side.. not so much.  I hit 31 mph on with the wind at my back but averaged 11 mph in the headwind.  Brutal. I kept thinking why in the world would I bother making this loop again just to return to that wind.  Well, no sooner than I thought that I was back on the fast side of the loop 8 minutes away from entering that headwind as if I'd forgotten it.

Overall a good day in the fitness zone: 2000 meter swim. 14.5 mile ride. 2.5 mile run.
