Apparently there is more to triathlon than being able to complete the distance with everything going smoothly. You also have to be able to complete the distance if everything goes wrong. As important as endurance training, is the basic skills needed to change tires and tubes, do simple bike maintenance, and I'm sure there is other stuff I just haven't needed yet.
Last night on my trainer ride, I got a flat tire (which seems like it really shouldn't happen). Anyway, I had no spare tubes so I got to play with my patch kit and actually made it work. I guess having a flat and not being able to fix it keeps you from finishing a race just as quickly as falling over on the side of the road from lack of conditioning. Got to prepare for everything.
*** Last night I rode the bike trainer for 1:45:00 with a flat tire interruption some where in the middle.
Later.
