Welp... I've taken the last serious step in preparing for my triathlon! I bought a bike! Who knew that buying a bicycle was such an involved process! I started looking for this bike in early December after I got back from overseas and I finally decided on a 2009 Specialized Allez in BLACK (yeah, it's hot). There are sooooo many different things to take into account and the damn thing just gets expensive - the components, the helmet, the clip-in shoes (and pedals), tools, extra tubes, etc. This ain't yo' grandma's road bike! But I've done it (with some serious help from Santa - thanks big guy!)
So, by now I'm sure you're thinking, "Well Chris is crazy!" Well, that much is true at least... but there is a way that you can support me! Just donate to my triathlon! I'm doing this thru Team in Training, an organization that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma society of America. All donations are 100% tax deductible... so if you're looking for some last opportunities to save a bit on tax money, then DONATE! Here is the website (just copy and paste this baby into your web browser...):

Donate and help me!!! :-) I have to raise $5500 by mid-March so I've got a ways to go! :-)
