I used to do triathlons as well (see avatar).
My strength was cycling…followed by running. I wasn’t a good swimmer.
Biking was way more fun than swimming or running because of where you could go and how far.
At the time i lived in frankfurt germany. I could practically bike between cities. Very beautiful areas which you could bike for hundreds of kilometers. I rode a mountain bike and my average speed was 28km/h.
Sometimes a biker would catch up to me and id bike faster so they couldn’t pass…and then we’d race for like 30km until we had to go separate ways or one of us gave up.
It was awesome. It happened many many times. I won most of my “races”.
If ever you wanna enjoy biking, go to europe. You cannot beat it.
