The reason I posted this is: I've decided to not even think about a tri specific bike until I have a reasonable run pace. 8 minutes seems to be reasonably competitive in my age group. But I don't want to pick an unrealistic goal either. It's not like I think I'll ever win, even with a fast bike. I'm not twiggy enough. This is just for fun. And I don't know if I even really want a new bike.

For my last sprint tri I was 11th on the swim, 17th on the bike and 69th on the run. That was with a 10:11 pace.

This month I've run almost as many miles as I've biked.
