Alright, confession. I am stuck using a MTB for my first triathlon this weekend. Sigh.

I have a Cannondale Synapse on layaway, but after tax season (I'm self-employed) I got set back on the purchase of it. For those of us who had to pay in.

Anyway, I need some encouragement. This triathlon is fairly rural so I'm guessing I wont be the only one on a MTB. But the very feel of this bike is inefficient.

Where any of you in the same position when you started doing Tris?
