Subject: RE: What off-season? Early season racers Mentor Group - OPEN!Originally posted by DontoMy HIM is this Sat, weather forecast has changed with increased humidity but cloudy, which I'll take if it stays that way. No way to PR this one because of the bike course elevation changes. I rode the course 10 days ago and it came to me after 2 hours into the ride with my neck bothering me that my current aerobar setup height (no spacers) that's more than tolerable for Sprints is not what I want to use for the 56 miles. Found a riser kit on ST and will be raising my aerobars up 10-20mm to help out my neck. I was also lucky enough to find a used full wetsuit on ST for $65 instead of renting one. It had a few small tears that I fixed up with Aquaseal, love that stuff. Understandable with the spacers. I'm going for minimal comfort/maximum speed with my Oly set-up, because 25 miles isn't THAT long. For a half, I'd need to possibly consider changing it. Be careful with changes close to race day, but if your set-up has you in pain... then it's a reasonable risk, i think. $65 wetsuit is AWESOME! get comfortable with it, and swim with it before the race, for sure! HAVE FUN!!! |
