Whooooo boy! I now have in my possession (or perhaps stewardship is a better word) a brand spankin' new Specialized Tarmac Pro Frame, courtesy of none other than Specialized. You see, a few weeks ago, for a graduation present, I had received from my dear mother an '07 Tarmac Comp. It was exquisite, and fantastic, and a good deal more buttery smooth than my previous road bike, an '05 Specialized Allez...nothing against the bike but it was purchased at a time when it wasn't clear if this triathlon thing was merely a phase or something that I would become truly enamored with. I've mostly finished putting it all together; pictures are forthcoming.
Also, I did 100 miles yesterday. My speed was okay; nothing fantastic, but I'm very pleased with how spring I am feeling today. I slept for 10 hours, which is something I don't normally do (not out of lack of desire, mind you) and I think that had something to do with it. The picture to the left is the one and only picture I took during the ride. After taking it, I realized that if I took pictures of everything that I wanted to visually record, I would never finish, such was the fineness of the scenery.
