I just have to get a bike, lose 20kgs and then Im in. By the way, where can I start looking for a time trial bike?

 

Troisport have Quintana Roo tri bikes. They are are great bikes at really good prices if you are looking for one new.

I built my TT bike from ads on the Hub:)

I rode 25mm GP4000 up front in 2014. Fantastic difference because you run at a much lower pressure. Considering 28mm for 2016.

 

Unfortunately my frame only allows 23mm at the rear.

Where did you get them?

114 days to Iron Man PE... trust you all training hard and relaxing hard over the Christmas period. :clap:

Gonna be relaxing like a champion. Feeling very pap at the moment. Hoping the break will give me a bit of zipp back.

Had a good start to the season and everyting was on course for IM. Had a good Rockman and then the Monday, I fell off the stepladder at home (sounds like a senior citizen injury). Had 2 surgeries on my hand and that means the end of IM 2016 for me. Seriously Pissed off.

 

But for the rest of you guys, have fun training and good luck for the last 10 weeks.

any ideas as to whether the entries have been sold out this year?

 

Not yet, Ironman normally advertise when there are 100 or so slots left. I have not seen that yet. Seems entries are going fairly slowly even with route change.

Just pure bad luck and something that happen to any of us. Heal up and come back in 2017....

 

I would be pissed off to though, its loads of time and effort to train and then not be able to make it... but I guess it makes you stronger and better and healthier.
