Seven minutes on Zwift. The “Getting Started” ride, which is exactly what it sounds like — clip in, pedal, figure out where the buttons are.

1.43 miles through Watopia, which is a fake place that somehow still has elevation gain. Sixteen feet of climbing in a world that doesn’t exist. Late May in Pensacola, which means it was probably 90 degrees outside, which means indoor cycling on a screen makes a certain kind of sense.

This was a beginning. Not a triumphant one. Not a story. Just: I bought a thing, I set it up, I pedaled for seven minutes to see if it worked.

It worked. That’s the whole entry.
