Riding In The Rain

It is official. I have abandoned good ship Marathon in favor of rainy ship Bicycling. I don't know how you triathletes do it. I lost just a little ground in marathon training, due to riding my bike on those nice days back in February, and I was hooked on cycling again. Or maybe I was looking for any excuse to stop running. It never really has been my thing. The big problem with all this, though, is that running on an indoor treadmill was my cardio upkeep exercise during all the cruddy weather. If not running, it is either significant cardio fitness degradation, or I need to ride in the rain... Hence, the fenders.
