My New Bike

I have been biking for a quite some time back home to different places around Pune.But then over the period of last one year after coming to US i was not able to select on any specific bike i could ride on. There were a couple of them which were quite expensive. I have been making rounds of different stores around the city and websites for a good bike and finally my eyes got fixed on the SCOTT Speedster P6 and falling in love with her was almost inevitable. The specs say it all and with my budget i happen to find the best of the lot. I know there are a quite good bikes in higher range and much better ones but then i was in lot of constraints and she was the best one i could find.


Her picture to follow soon :)



My old bike ( I am missing her so much ) was a HERO mountain bike and i have details in my previous blogs. And this one is a hybrid so its very light in weight and sturdy enough for mountain terrains.


After getting her i have been on short rides around the city which were from 10 miles till the max i went was 16 miles till date. But with the Triathlon schedule fast catching up i will be biking in the mid 20's and mid 30 miles in the coming days. That sure will prepare me for the coming competitions.

So its all set ...........

Making it for the Triathlon

It’s been a long time since anything was written just been lazy all the way. Nothing to write much too. After running the Mumbai Marathon in January 2007 did not do much on this front. But then couple of weeks back some random thoughts crawled back along with the Olympic season which pumped some spirit in me and I started practicing again. But this time for the Triathlons. It’s always been described by many that if you are making for a triathlon either you are a professional athlete or you are crazy. I definitely fall in the second category. Have started with the basic workouts and long runs and long biking but still a long way to go. But time is running out since I will be participating in my first every competition by the end of August.

The following is the schedule of the competitions to be held and I will try to make all of these that’s what I am target ting for. No time just completing will make me more than happy.


August 31: Callaway Gardens (Intermediate)
September 14: Music City (Olympic)
October 11: Hickory Knob (Intermediate)


For all these I will be participating and working out along with the University team. Not sure how much i will be able to compete but will surely give my best shot.
