Subject: Old dog, new lesson Today I did a sprint race, it was the first race I did 11 years ago and have raced or volunteered (or both ) every year. First tri of the year using tri bike and aero helmet. Grabbed the helmet off the shelf where I put it after silverman last october. Run into T1, grab helmet, pull on clips to clip it, clip slides right off. Rethreading things like these are hard enough, but add a .5 mile swim and a 1/4 mile sand and hill run, virtually impossible! Probably added 1:30 to my transition. So to add to nothing new on race day, add nothing you haven't used in 6 months..... I considered pulling it out for the tune up ride yesterday and just went with the road helmet . Lesson learned |
