Different kind of triathlon transition
This morning I was cutting it close trying to make my morning group ride AND run a meeting starting at 8 a.m. at work.
It wasn't looking good when the start was a few minutes late, especially because one person had crashed over the weekend and wanted to take it slow. She has a dark purple bruise covering her upper thigh. It looks really bad.
Anyway, I was getting more and more worried. We usually finish the ride in 1:22, and we usually leave before 6 a.m. - more like 5:50 a.m. most mornings.
It was 7:20 a.m. before we made it back to my car. By that time I had separated from the group and gone ahead. I was riding and talking on the phone to the bagel place so they would have my stuff ready and I could just run in.
Here's how the transition from athlete to professional went today:
7:24 Bagels picked up
7:32 At work
7:34 Bike, gym bag, laptop, backpack, bagels on 2nd floor
7:40 Board room set up, laptop on, projector on
7:41 In shower
7:50 In business suit and heels
7:51 Doors unlocked and greeting first attendee
Success!
I did run into the boss when I was still in sweaty bike clothes running around like a maniac. So that was a little awkward.
