Gear review

I like toys... Have liked them since I can remember. Maybe triathlon is just another opportunity to buy more toys!

Anyway -

Bike: Read review after review after review. Everything from geometry to aerodynamics to style and was pretty close to getting a Cervelo Dual when I realized that I could get a p2sl for a hundo more. Shiny red, aluminum, horizontal dropouts to move the wheel closer to the seat tube, an adjustable seatpost to change position and a decent component group. Not the fastest bike (Felt DA or Cervelo P3C), but I'm not the fastest guy either.

Wetsuit: Blueseventy. This one I didn't do as much work on - mainly because I took the advice of a buddy that races and got the least expensive in their lineup.

first week of training

So it's only Thursday and I officially suck. I've been back in Colorado for a month now - so I can't blame it on the altitude anymore. Went out with the guys from work today (AX/A) ride and got dusted once they put in a surge... Riding along comfortably at ~19mph in a pace line, can see people getting a bit antsy and then lost them at 27... I need a week of beer drinking - ahem - "carbo-loading" to ride this fast!

Anyway - this is the first time I've actually started a training program in 10 years... Still working on this
