Things are getting crazy as my brand P2C arrived at the shop on May 1st and it's scheduled to arrive here on the 9th which is tomorrow. I need to put it together and give it a spin. I'll try to see if I'm comfortable enough on it to race it on the 18th. The only problem with the P2C is it only has 1 water bottle cage. If I raced it I would have to carry a water bottle in my jersey and mix a double strength Infinit drink for the bottle cage. I would attach my aero bottle.
This would be full of normal strength and then I'd just add half my concentrated with on course water to mix the next two bottles. I've ridden tons of miles with bottles in my jersey before I got a seat bottle cage for my road bike. I'll just have to see. I mean the rule is don't change anything on race day so I might just leave the brand spanking new bike at home.The race wheels that I rented for the event have shipped. This will be interesting to see how much faster I can go. I figured that I might want to use them for the Ironman so I wanted to test them out to see how they race. I used Race Day Wheels for the rental and all I have heard is great things about this company so I'm excited.
My swimming has been stinking lately though so I'm worried about not meeting my swim goal time. I did however figure out how to "catch" more water. I saw this picture posted on Jonnyo's blog and I was like I'm not doing that at all. I'm not bending at my elbow right when my arm is parallel to the pool bottom. It's helped a little but I can't really tell from my times because my jammers had a major blowout so I'm stuck with my major drag trunks. I got totally robbed on buying some cheap swim jammers from Swim Outlet. They lasted a whole 2 months and that was only with wearing them on my hard swim days. Pretty sad..so I'm stuck with just the trunks. My times are slow but I'm hoping that it's because of the drag. I'll know more in just 10 days.10 days til the Half...
3 months 16 days til Canada
How exciting! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering about water as well at Elkhorn...I know they have neutral feed zones, but what happens if you can't grab the water? you're out of luck? That has me nervous...I may opt for a seat post water bottle thing and carry a whopping 4 bottles. Not sure if that's excessive or not.
At least my bike will get lighter, the more tired I get :D

ReplyDeletegood luck at Disney! See ya there. It is a great first timer course. Don't be worried about the "heat". You will be just fine. Enjoy your weekend!
