Its been just over a month that I joined my local Norcal Crossfit Box ‘gym’ (Crossfit Workout gym is called a Box). When I first walked inside, I saw mostly white boards, scribbled with various terms, and numbers that were hard to decipher.

This was a killer workout, for the hamstrings. But the trick is to look down. Focus on the ground below, take smaller steps. Your foot should fall right below your centre of gravity. The back should be straight, NO ARCH, keep your head tucked down.

Put on some music, and finished a 1.5 mile easy peasy run on the track. Chilling cold !!
Learn the various parts in your bike. Couple of additions:
The bike levers basically double up as gear shifters in todays bikes.
Then you have headlights on the handle bar and rear lights just below the saddle post.
Triathlon bikes OR TT(also called Time-Trial) bikes, have tri-bars / aero-bars attached to the handle bars and run perpendicular.
