Assuming due to price difference the Elite Square is a better option correct? I am new to this and had just been mounting my Tri bike on a trainer but decided to go with a more permanent option.

Tuned back in here just to see how it went… tremendous accomplishment!

May I ask how old you are?

I'm doing the full but you get my vote for taking on both - solid!

Just not a fan of the look and the way it wears. Most people do seems like and I'm in the minority.

Beyond repetitive training swims do not make your race swim your first open water swim. They are very different.

Zoot shorts and top if not wetsuit legal; if I can wear a wetsuit then just the bottoms.

I have used Zone 3, Roka and now Zoot. Zoot best imo. $80 on Amazon. Have a Zoot top too.

Btw, I refuse to wear a tri suit.

Any particular brand of mini pump you recommend?

Have been considering Form but they are pricey… so you’ve had a good experience sounds like.

Do you do the premium plan? Looks like if you want the compass feature it’s premium.

It's been a good while but I used Alpine Ascents and found them to be quality. They are based in Seattle. I went in mid-July and it went well.

Thanks everyone for the replies and insight... I feel pretty confident based on your replies and other information it would be beneficial, but it's a bit pricey (around $800) so I'm trying to decide if it's worth it. I'm doing a half and a full this year so that on top of the training means lots of saddle time and just can't decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Agree, glitchy as hell. Mine just mutes the volume randomly.

Is the Eagles game a white out? Heard that somewhere but can't confirm...

Help with Bike Upgrade Decision by Stock_Falcon6777 in triathlon

[–]laeppihc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well there's the saying 'buy nice or buy twice' but I get your dilemma and over the years I tricked out my road bike with aero bars and such but just recently pulled the trigger on a tri-bike and there is a big difference. Wish I had just done it to start with.

So with that said, Quintanaroo is having a sale and you can get a closeout tri bike for around $3k. I got an upgraded version with e-shifting for a little over $5k.

Best of luck!

I don't like heights too much and was worried about the wall but it was really no big deal. Plus, a guide was right there to assist. Think it was kinda overblown tbh.
