A new training partner - but at what cost?


Well I've got a new training partner, but its costing me money! I needed to motivate Beth into using her new bike more that she got for her birthday in August. The motivational tool was cold hard cash. She cycles along side me when I go for my runs when possible allowing for other clubs and activities that she takes part in. She has created a chart and marks up her mileage as she goes earning 10p per mile. As you can see Beth is pictured with her fantastic Kona cyclocross bike and wearing the size 6 cycle top that Kelda ordered which didn't fit. I really want her to get some miles under her belt but can I afford to encourage her too much?
I sold the Kuota this week to a mate up here so that cash has already been spent, I will upload some pictures on the latest toy purchased to try and make more gains next season!

That training partner looks too swift for you Daz! CJ cycled 5 miles whilst I ran, including a big hill. She may need a lighter bike than the Aldi MTB! Mind you, we did stop for a picnic as well!
