    Decending in aerobars- just need practice???

    Hi ladies,
    This is my first time posting here...just a little background- I'm a 30-something mom of 2 (3yr old & 15mo old) living in AZ and just bought my 1st tri bike. I did mountain bike racing and road racing for about 10-years and started doing tri's about 3-4 years ago. I was racing on a Trek OCLV with clip-on aerobars but recently bought a Felt S22. It's an awesome bike, but decending in those aerobars FREAKS me out. I'm just so used to descending in the drops of my road bike with my hands right next to the trusty brakes! Any advice on how to decend without this look on my face when I get over 30-35mph?: I'm training for a 1/2 IM that has some serious decents and would love to be able to figure out how to ride this bike!
    TIA!
