They can't all be new--- some oldies out there in the wild

New bike day. Set up in the pain cave 🥰

[JunkPants]

@Dmart Don't know a thing about bikes, but that looks awesome.

[Dmart]

@JunkPants Thanks! It’s a Triathlon / Time Trial bike. Quite a limited use case, but fast as hell.

[JunkPants]

@Dmart Very cool. Even just sitting there it does look fast as hell!

@Dmart I'm so happy for my Speedmax, hope you will feel the same. When going hard on the flats I don't feel the speed - I am speed!

[Dmart]

@XPender yeah. Currently sitting on the turbo, race pace 🥵

[Nik]

Whoa well done @Dmart bike is going to be so much fun. How does it feel so far? Looking forward to feedback.

[Dmart]

@Nik I have only been on the turbo for now. It’s certainly different than a road bike with extensions. You sit closer to the bottom bracket. I really love the in bike storage for gels, maintenance and hydration. It’s very well thought through.

@Dmart Fellow Triathlete?

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 I try to be one my swim doesn’t look like it yet…

[Spencer35]

@Dmart nice, well you certainly have the bike for it. I started very slow as a swimmer too. Now it is certainly my best discipline of the three (granted still not fast), it comes with repetition and lots of practice

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 it’s a very technical sport compared to cycling and running. I’m daily in the water and it gets better, slowly but steady.

[Dmart]

Only recently started with triathlon. Only been running before. Have my first sprint in April and a 70.3 in June.

[Spencer35]

@Dmart 100% true on the technicality of swim. Though swim is VERY different from Golf, they have similarities in that they seem relatively simple and straight forward, yet are very technical and technique driven sports.

Congrats on your upcoming races! What 70.3 are you doing? If you ever have any triathlon or training related questions, please feel free to reach out. I've been in the sport for over 10yrs, with 8 Full Ironman finishes (God willing 9 after this summer), 20+ 70.3 finishes and multiple shorter distances as well.

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 wow that’s an accomplishment!
Really appreciate the help!
I’m doing 70.3 Switzerland, hilly bike and rolling run.

[Spencer35]

@Dmart Should be gorgeous, enjoy and good luck!

[Dmart]

@Spencer35 thanks!
