It started with an email from PTS detailing their sporting events for this year. One that I had been interested in the past popped up – The Cartersville Duathlon. A 3.1mile run/17mile Bike/3.1mile run, the timing seemed right at April 15th; fitting in just right before the start of the Chicago training season (May).   Just something for me to keep occupied without feeling the blues about not pounding the pavement again.

When I posted the casual question on Facebook, a barrage of answers and discussion followed. And the next thing I know – I’m dusting off the husband’s bike and looking to ride !!
