From Potato Chip to Ironman

My quest towards the Norseman Triathlon (with some other tidbits thrown in for good measure).

A couple of months ago, I made the mistake of trying to leaving a parking garage with my bike attached to the roof of my car. Although the noises were horrific (as the bike and racks were scraping along the roof of the car), two good things came out of it. My non-waterproof (a bad idea in Norway) bike computer was trashed and my seat was scraped up. I had the perfect excuse to buy a new saddle and bike computer. Tonight, I put the new seat on and went for a spin. The seat is a Selle San Marco Skn something-or-other that I fully expected to be a literal pain in the butt. After a 30-40km (I still haven’t replaced the computer yet) ride however, I really like the saddle. It’ll take a bit of breaking in but the split design in the back seems to work. Going over low frequency bumps, though, is a bit like driving an older Skoda - your back end bounces around a lot.
