Thats a very nice bike. The components are top notch. If you do get a Tri or TT bike I love The Specialized Transition Pro it is a very good bike I have had one for about 2 years. Congrats on finishing the Tri they are very difficult.

EXCELLENT and CONGRATS... I caught the tri bug 2 years ago, though still can't commit to doing an Olympic.... Love sprints...

It is nice to have a race signed up, forces me to get into the pool and run... I bike regardless, but I have to have a reason to run and swim....

I once walked to the town pool, then stole a bike to get home, does that count?

LOL It counts about as much as a drinking, smoking, and eating tri does.

I've found that as I improved on the swim from last year to this year, EVERYTHING got better. My aerobic capacity changed a lot. As soon as I'm done with the base building program I'm on (running), I'll be back in the pool regularly again. Just knowing my goal is a half iron is enough to keep me in the pool in the "offseason".

Who can design it for us? I'm serious! That would be AWESOME. I would totally travel for a herf tri (but not likely to Oki, LOL)!!! Run the race, and then have a big herf afterwards.

We can custom design socks on sockguy.com

Just finished the Insanity program and I can tell a very very big difference in cardio. Also set a 5k PR last weekend, which was impressive since I have not run in about 5 months. Hoping to start a Marathon training program in January.

Good luck with that, brother!! I hope it all heals up nicely for you so you can train all you want!

Yes, Ferdie, that totally counts!

Not sure about the jerseys, Wanger.....but now I'm thinking about it!!

Congrats brother. I would love to do some triathlons but swimming is not my thing... I've had a rotator cuff injury that bothers me anytime I swing my arm in motion. I've ran a couple marathons along with many other smaller runs and I enjoy biking so I only wish the swimming would work for me... oh well, maybe some day.
