I was pedaling hard, and it felt like I was pedaling through mud. People were passing me like I was standing still. I didn't pass a single person. In most tris, I find that on the bike, I pass about 3 people for every 2 that pass me. I knew this wasn't right. But here I was, wearing an aero helmet and getting mopped up in the first 3 miles. By the time my Garmin buzzed with the first 5-mile split, I had already started thinking DNF. But the statistic was beyond abhorrent. 20 minutes and change, which I'd later discover was a 14.7 mph average.<br /><br />Ok, same thing happened to me on my sprint tri.. And my breaks went out.. But I sucked it up.. Terrible time.. For me. But I finished. I learned always always check your bike !! And learn how to fix your bike a few lessons and you should be good to go. <br /><br />Any way who types comments in with out their name..

This feeds a lot of mouths in the bike shop world.<br /><br />I am sure your story resonates with many out there, but for cryin' out loud, always spin your wheels as you hang your bike up in transition!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349528968660309588.post-46527466341567739582013-08-26T10:17:44.257-04:002013-08-26T10:17:44.257-04:00Don't really have a lot of sympathy for him he...Don't really have a lot of sympathy for him here. He had already budgeted $200 for the shipping so the additional $200 wouldn't have blown up his budget in light of what he'd already spent. Also, making sure the wheel spins freely and the brake doesn't rub is just a basic safety check before every ride. If he doesn't do that I'm glad I've never ridden with him - he's a risk to himself and those who are riding inches off his back wheel. Finally, he also risked getting his friend DQ'd by pacing him on the run. Outside assistance is a huge no-no in any USAT sponsored event and is subject to DQ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349528968660309588.post-13330502414552491182013-08-26T09:23:04.626-04:002013-08-26T09:23:04.626-04:00Haycraft?
