Despite getting on the podium on my walmart bike last month, I caved and picked up a real triathlon bike at a Labor day sale over the weekend as I committed to do a 70.3 and full ironman next year (both Florida) and figured I'd need a real bike. Given my other ride is carbon-fiber/ultegra, I knew I wouldn't put in the training hours on it if the ride wasn't as comfortable, so I focused on the lower tier carbon fiber bikes for my search.

For purchases from bike shops that could do proper fittings, I took a look at the QR Kilo ($1800), Felt B16 ($1450), Kestrel Talon Tri Ultegra ($1600), and Kestrel Talon Tri 105 ($1350). As the Felt B16 was the best fitting bike (with solid fitting support), was from a good shop nearby and felt pretty good on my test ride, I ended up snagging it. It needs a bit of tuning (as the microshift/105 setup won't consistently shift up to the 8th/9th gear) but I'll take it back in to fine tune my fit and clean up any shifting/other issues before my next race in 8 weeks once my flexibility in the aero position improves and the cables are broken in.

Otherwise, returned to the cooler north today so I'll be focusing more on my swimming & running this week, and just doing my shorter (but intense/hilly) commutes to/from baseball games.
