Subject: 30 second gainsI have been reading all these post about how to gain 30 seconds here and there, buying carbon bottle cages and other, what appeared absurd at the time, upgrades to shave a couple seconds and had no idea what the obsession was about.
Well, I did my first race in 4 years yesterday, a Duathlon, and finished 4th in my age group at 11 seconds from third...so now everything makes sense, ha.
I did managed to pull a 21.5 mph in a 2010 Trek 1.1 with only clip-ons and pedals, it was a nice feeling passing "the cool guys" with the nice bikes ?? |
