Subject: RE: Not sure where to start! traceyco66 - 2005-03-11 11:22 AM Also, I don't want to invest in a road bike at this point. Does using a mountain bike make that leg much harder?? Thanks for any feedback. Start with the couch-to-sprint plan, if it's too easy, you can always add on, or grab a different plan. Many of us have done one or more sprint tris with MTBs - the gears are much different and you'll be able to go uphill a little faster generally. However, the weight of the bike, and the lack of aerodynamics (stock) will probably keep you off the winner's podium. Do a tri or two, and then decide if you like the sport enough to want a different bike. |
