Going the distance

I've signed up to do a "sprint" triathlon in the fall. A 1/2 mile swim, a 10 mile bike ride and a 5K "run" (I'll have to walk it, my knee doesn't run anymore). My bike has an odometer, which I've always found motivating. (Think it's fun to watch the odometer in your car turn over? Try it when you've pedaled every one of those 1000 miles!) In the past, finding walking and biking routes of a certain distance (1 mile, 2 miles) was rather hit or miss. Now I use the Google Maps Pedometer to map out routes.
