Hydration Set up for Bike
Hey all, is there anything more nerve wracking than trying to figure out what kind of hydration set-up you'd like on your bike? I mean, other than the actual swim start... A little background, i've recently bought my first tri bike, a 2014 Cervelo P2. Love it and I will upload pictures shortly. for the 2016 season i'm…

First 70.3 race!

910xt not picking up cadence sensor
Good morning all, i have a 910xt with the GSC-10 Speed cadence sensor. I got it in 2012, and have had no issues with it, but Friday evening the sensor wouldn't get picked up by my 910. Of course it happened the day before a race. I did the race without having cadence or speed available, no biggie. I'm home now, trying to…

Triathlon Camps
Has anyone ever done one? I did my first this weekend, and let me tell you it was so worth it.
