I love this bike!

For 2006, I bought a Cervelo Dual to race on. I had been using my road bike, a 1999 Specialized Allez. In an effort to find a comfortable aero position, I added a set of Syntace C2 clip-on aero bars to the Allez , but it was clear that if I was going to be serious about doing longer races (1/2 IM and IM distances) that a comfortable and efficient position would require a new ride.

For me, this bike has the right combination of comfort, quality design/components, and price.

Tri Shark

Next race on the calendar is Tri Shark, Saturday, June 7th at 8:00 am. I last did this race in 2006. I finished in 1:11:51, good for 100th overall and 21st out of 58 in my A/G (36%). As is my goal for all races this year, I hope to finish in the top 33% of my A/G for this race. There are 74 in my A/G this year...here's to a top 24 age group finish!

Intro - What's this blog about?

I am an age group triathlete. I started entering triathlons in 2004 as a way to focus the training I was doing to stay in shape. Prior to triathlons I biked for fitness and recreation. I joined USA Cycling one year intending to do a race or two, but never did.

This blog will serve as my personal brain space - somewhere to collect and distill my thoughts and bits of information that are useful to me. If someone else gets some benefits from it, that's just gravy...mmmmmmmm, gravy.
