Earlier in the week I started writing an entry on why i didn't need a TT / Triathlon geometry bike to do an Ironman. I surmised that there were 2 basic aims of the 180 km bike leg: 1 - get around the course as fast as possible; while, 2 - being able to run off the bike.
The tri bike is designed to go fast in a non-draft situation, so as long as i could stay "aero" for most of the 180 km, i would tick off #1.
And the more research i did, i discovered that my best chance of being in a position to run off the bike involved the geometry of the tri bike and a correct fit...tick for #2.
So...BANG...enter the pedal-less GIANT TRINITY!
So all being well, assuming delivery from Giant, this time next week my new stead will take its place in our lounge room - Yes sorry Claire, a second bike inside...i really must clean up the garage :)
