When I got to mile marker 12, I was like, &#8220;woohooo one more to go and then i can turn around,&#8221; but I swear it felt like I was going forever. I kept cursing, &#8220;where the hell is 13?~!&#8221;<br \/>\nFinally, I came upon mile marker number 14. #$% what the hell, I thought! I missed it!?<br \/>\nWell, I turned around and finally came up mile 13, which had been ripped from the ground and put kind of out of sight&#8230;soooo my 12 mile ride turned into 14.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s okay though because I felt great. I absolutely love my new pedals and shoes. I wish I would have gotten them sooner.<br \/>\nI finished in 1 hour and 11 minutes. It would have been shorter if I hadn&#8217;t stopped at 234 red lights and stop signs. maaaan!<\/p>\n<p>Still smiling after 14 miles:<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_s4Y_IdQv9aM\/S_lAN3WVfjI\/AAAAAAAABrI\/E7MhfVo0vhQ\/s1600\/DSCN3970.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_s4Y_IdQv9aM\/S_lAN3WVfjI\/AAAAAAAABrI\/E7MhfVo0vhQ\/s320\/DSCN3970.JPG\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_s4Y_IdQv9aM\/S_lAU3r1d7I\/AAAAAAAABrQ\/SkcchTjeYBk\/s320\/DSCN3967.JPG\" \/><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_s4Y_IdQv9aM\/S_lAwgjpydI\/AAAAAAAABrg\/54hQQ4iF_iU\/s1600\/DSCN3966.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_s4Y_IdQv9aM\/S_lAwgjpydI\/AAAAAAAABrg\/54hQQ4iF_iU\/s320\/DSCN3966.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">After my ride, I drove to Publix for some snacks because my kitchen is absolutely bare.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">I was getting odd looks from people because my padded butt shorts were soaked with sweat.

Swimming for a triathlon is just so foreign to me and I want to make sure I am pretty comfortable for that portion of my race. Also, I need to step it up with my swimming.
