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.

It is a bit heavy (comes in at 21lb without pedals vs. 18 for the talon), and my main Florida road bike (Specizlied Roubaix Comp) is an awesome ride, but I figured that given the price and impending races, it would make sense to snag. I think the idea of having to run a full marathon post-112 mile bike ride got me strongly reconsidering biking a race in standard road position.

Also, having a few similar height triathlete friends from out of town who want to visit me this winter & join me for a local race (St. Anthony's, Trirock, Escape from Ft. Desoto), having a good bike available for them to race on may help twist their arm into making a visit.

Ended up taking it easy yesterday, as I had to commute to/from 2 baseball games by bike (killing time in the middle with some riding along with a Margarita break with a friend). I know I'm falling behind on my swimming so I'm planning to get in 2 miles of that over the next 2 days to try to catch up. I also need to get back into weight loss mode as I'd like to do my November Olympic triathlon & half marathon about 10lb below my current weight so I can crack the 2:30 & 1:35 marks for each.
