I have some running to catch up to. In the meantime, I’m looking into some gear investment: a mid-range racing bike. I haven’t decided if I want to buy used or new. I found some nicely priced ones on craigslist, but I don’t know enough to trust myself buying a used bike, especially if I’m spending ~$500 for it. New is definitely ideal, but I don’t know if I can get a mid to high end one for my budget of $1g. It’s also a bit hard to justify spending that much money because I don’t think I’ve ever paid a grand for something. On the other hand, my rent every month is $600 … I just need to think of it as a month and a half’s worth of rent, and I’ll be all set.
So the goal now is to shoot for a sprint sometime in mid-September … We shall see.
