Thumbs up Re: Vancouver Half Race Report

Great job on your second 1/2 in two weeks and another very strong finish to boot. So I suffer from back pain on my roadbike when I ride it for longer times but I am really comfortable in the aero poisiton on my tri bike. Frankly I think you need to stop trying to use clip on's on a road bike and see about buying a tri specific bike. I know this means money but being comfortbale on your bike would make a big difference to your times.

Great report Rich. I like the way you nailed the run and moved up 60 something spots! Ditto on Vancouver. It's one of my favorite cities.

Re: Vancouver Half Race Report

Thanks for all the encouragement.

Actually, I've got no clip-on aero bars. I decided that I was going to have a road bike and (eventually) a tri-bike. I wasn't going to do anything in-between. I'm hoping that we can pick up two tri-bikes for next season. We'll be watching the fall close-outs pretty closely.
