Hey Triflor- Kudos for you for taking on IMLP! The hills would do me in!
Thanks also KSH for your kind thoughts. I'm hoping to have the wind at my back most of the race. It's going to be my prayer the night before!
"Oh dear lord please keep the wind at my back and the tires from going flat"... Hopefully it works! Last year was a horrendous 30 mph crosswind, but the weather has been MUCH different this year. So I'm praying!!!
I'm going to need all of it I can get. I do agree that when I'm out there on the road w/ all those fellow Ironmen and women I'll be distracted from the pain. ha ha! I'm also going to get a new tri specific rig as soon as I get my taxes back (next couple of weeks) so hopefully that will help w/ both comfort and power. I just always get the feeling that if I was more comfy in the aerobars life would be better.
