Brickin' it when it's 25 degrees


Tackled my first brick today. Got out on the bike first at 8:30 am when it was just 25 degrees for two hours. First time I've had a water bottle freeze on me and I actually went down once pretty hard on a black ice patch. Ride was good, took on some bigger hills and finished up around 2:10. Quickly transitioned in my garage, thank god it wasn't a race, I had to shed my booties, ninja mask and squeeze my frozen feet in to my running shoes. Took about five minutes.

Running on frozen toes is an experience. It feels like your toes are bursting in your shoes. Once the blood flowed back in the feeling went away. My legs took about five minutes to transition from the bike, which was quicker than I expected. I put in an hour run on Friday and thought I might be tight. Ended up running 37 minutes.
