First official TNT training ride!

This past Saturday we met for our first official training ride.  It was only 15 miles, but it was great.  Our route was mostly flat and we departed from the Bedford parking lot at the end of the MinuteMan trail. 

I practiced my new pedaling technique and instantly knew when I’d reverted to quads and hamstrings.  (During the “learn to pedal” bit of my fitting the guy also explained the technique of using the glutes for power.  It made an amazing difference on the hills!)

It was nice to bond with some of the TNT people.  Our team will grow will change … I am sure some people drop out and others join in.  We met Patty this week … she’s a former TRI person who will do the cycling this time. 

Anna and I drove from Medford.  She’s a part of the cycle team, and she’s a member of the gym I teach spinning at.  We get along well and live really close to each other, so that’s very handy.  I twisted her arm and we rode an extra 14 miles after the 15 mile team ride.  That was great.

Here’s us …  Anna and Kiersten
