It would be a real 100% couples’ bike ride. Our first ride as a married couple, with our own bikes.

Conquering a Triathlon, is not going to be without failure and falling down. It’s about getting up, and not giving up. It’s about listening and becoming connected to your body, and realizing that training for a triathlon is a spiritual journey as well as physical one.
I may have crashed on my bike faster than anyone in the entire history of Fit Nation, but the lesson I learned in the process was well worth it.
If and when you go down on the bike, you have to pick yourself up, and get it together.
YOU TOTALLY GOT THIS!!!
