Well, not quite 50% there and mostly bike miles... need more run miles.
Leg is about 75% - the calf cramp that just won't quit!! now adding shin pain again.. :grumble: Gonna still try to get my long run in this weekend, tho.. so we shall see.. (got my next half in 21days!) thanks.

I am signing up for a triathlon (2.5 mile canoe/kayak paddle, 5k run, 11m bike) this summer and I have a couple questions for the bikers. I haven't biked in a couple years so what's a good way to start back into it? Stick with low miles? How fast do I build up? If running is any indication, I add miles very slowly. And finally, what (approximate) time am I looking at to peddle 11 miles? It should be fairly flat but I will be using a clunky old bike.0

Just start riding. I got back into using my bike about 2 years ago. Then, I was only riding on a chat/gravel trail, which slows you down quite a bit, but 11mi could take me 60-70mins. When I first started riding, I was only able to get 6 or so miles in at a time, but I was able to build those miles up more quickly on bike than running.
If you're riding road, and mostly flat road at that, you could get it done in 50-60mins... depending on how quickly you build up miles. If you have a hybrid or mountain bike.. I would look at seeing if you can put road tires on it at the very least... I haven't competed on my hybrid, but I do know I could be so much faster if I had a road bike.
I have a hybrid bike so mine is slower than what I could do on a road bike.
OH! Does your bike have different speeds? Definitely practice using the gears and get to know which ones you do need for uphill & downhill... so helpful! If you're on a single speed bike... peddling 11mi might take you longer.
oh... and see if you can find some tri or bike shorts!! your bum will thank you :happy: (tho, I still get saddle sore even wearing mine)0 -
Thanks Wiglet! I'm guessing mine is hybrid and has 18 speeds. It was my birthday present in 5th grade and I'm 30 now! I need new tires on it before I start but I'm guessing I'll have more questions then. We have lots of hills here but the tri is fairly flat.0

To Goal 682 /1040
Took Mon Off and rode. Trying to build stamina and endurance. I have a road bike with 24 speeds total. Recently added some thicker tires called "Gatorskins". This added a little weight to bike. Mon I returned to the trail which stretches 39 mi. All paved and lots of everything a biker needs for training! Lots of hills, flat stretches, curves, drops, Mon I rode 22 mi stretch and took 2 quick breaks. Currently trying to build stamina, and speed. This takes patience and practice.0 -
