3rd ride on the bike

met up with Tara after dropping the girls off at school. I was afraid that it was going to be scorching hot but the cloud cover was awesome. it was cool and breezy. we rode a total of 15 miles to the trail and back with an average of 16-17 mph. we chatted the whole ride and i found out how adventurous she is. she did her first tri with a mountain bike and only being able to swim the side stroke with her head out of the water. she said 2 weeks before her first tri she decided to do it and didn't realize how hard the swim was going to be. she only had 2 weeks to train so she concentrated ont he swim only and just did it. i told Tara that i was soooo thankful for my friend T because she would not let me do such dangerous things. T will have me completely prepared to tackle transitions, recovery, safety, hydration etc...no doubt!! Me & Tara are dangerous together-too much alike. we cheated death only once on our ride this time. to make a long story short we rode figure "x"''s in front of another biker because we couldnt decide which side of the trail to be on when he was approaching us at stelth speed from behind. it was not a proud moment when i had to tell T....
