Tri, Tri, Tri Again

Why I Like Biking Better Than Running:

Speed, Speed, Speed!

You Create Your Own Breeze which is so, so, so much harder to do when you're running

Coasting - is there anything more wonderful than taking a break while you're still moving AND clocking miles?!

Forgiveness -- Nothing tells you you've overindulged like taking your body for a run.  On such an occasion there's far more flapping in the breeze than sheets or sails and it ain't pretty.  A bike is much more forgiving of parts that are "temporarily" less toned.

Why I Like Running Better Than Biking:

Unlikely to Be Hit By A Car -- although Reese Witherspoon recently got hit while she was jogging so maybe this isn't so true anymore...http://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/celebrity/Reese-Witherspoon-Hurt-in-Santa-Monica-Car-Accident--129424683.html
Music! - although there are way too many people who wear head phones while biking -- what are they thinking? 

Clips -- clips are evil little toys invented by the devil.  Who else would create something that leaves you stranded like a turtle when you topple?  First you suffer the indignity of falling while practically standing still and then it's physically impossible to right yourself because you can't get your darn feet disengaged from the pedals.  Awful!

Flabby Calves- I never knew your calves could get flabby until I took a little break from biking.  My calves NEVER felt flabby until then.

Stuff -- running shoes, check.  Go run.  (Socks optional...)  Try that bike riders!

Why I like Swimming Better Than Biking and Running

Nada
Zip
Nothing
