The bike portion is what has me the most worried. I learned to ride a bike a bit later in life than what might be considered normal. I've rode a bike as a means for transportation, but racing is a complete foreign concept to me. This is likely the area I could use the most training.
Because it's still quite wintery (snow and all), I'm starting to train for the bike indoors, on a plain-old stand up stationary bike. I'm not sure how close this is to the real thing, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
I got the gym and set the bike to a random course, with an average level of 9 (from 1-25). I biked for the distance of the bike portion of the Nanticoke triathlon, 15.2 miles. Right away, I could feel in in my legs. But, I finished up the 15.2 in just about 54 minutes.
Until the weather eases up, I'll be sticking to stationary biking. I'm interested to compare the feel of it (and my times) once I can switch to street cycling.
