Went to the bike shop yesterday. I brought my bike in and showed it to the manager. She is about my size and she saw how large the bike was for me. I tried out a 47 cm amira and felt insanely mOre comfortable. I really do want to make the bike work so we tried a straight seat post. I took the bike home last night and did a two hour ride on the trainer. The way my weight shifted and it really didn't put me that much closer to where I need to be on the bike. I am going to take it back today and just let them know that I am going to sell it and purchase another bike. I truly can't imagine doing my half and full ironman on something that is this uncomfortable to me.
