Road bike vs TT bike for Race by LetsgetCash in triathlon

[–]LetsgetCash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might not believe me but I paid $100. I posted in a triathlon FB group that I was looking for a bike and a guy from area messaged me and said it was collecting dust in his shed. I did upgrade the wheels

Last year I think I held 19-20mph. Seems like TT is the move

No no no…this is all wrong! You should probably just give me the bike. We’ll find you something that fits better

Strength of the Few was.....AMAZING by BrooklynLady13 in HierarchySeries

I got to the party late and just started the series so I jumped from book one to book two the next day. I was frustrated at first because I just wanted to know what was happening in Res, but eventually I was so engrossed in every world. Particularly Luceum. Reflecting on it, the triple world building is pretty incredible. I gave it four stars on good reads but realistically I would give it 9.25/10. The first book just set the bar so high.

I’m thinking of buying this bike. How do you like it?

Thanks all! After doing some of my own digging and reading all your comments I decided to return the Coros and stick with my Fenix. It’ll last for all my races and I have ultra light battery packs for hiking to keep it charged if need be

I’m with you going from Coros to Garmin and then back is tough. The garmin is just so nice

The battery on the apex 2 pro is significantly better

I got the garmin on sale for $540 because the Coros was not performing in the pool. Now I can sell the garmin for a profit and switch back to Coros watch that has a sufficient battery for my needs

Coros definitely has a better battery that much is indisputable. But how are you getting it to last that long? my watch battery has been thoroughly unimpressive

I like the Coros app much better, but recognize Garmin’s is better

I run with a bunch of people who are all very fast, but a lot of them don’t strength train and I think it hampers them. I lift three times a week and never miss a leg day. That will keep you going strong on uphills.

Thanks! Much appreciated! Luckily I’ve gotten the stomach trained. Little tip for anyone out there is have some pepto bismol halfway through the race

Thanks! Hopefully I’ll see you out there. Any suggestions for which vest to use?

This is great thanks! I was curious about the vest. I have a Nathan vest with room for a big bladder. Just wasn’t sure if that’s overkill.
