I think around this time of the summer with the race just three weeks away, my head was starting to fill with all the stuff I'd heard from other athletes and read in triathlon magazines. Thank you for telling me what I needed to hear...that is...stop fiddling!<br />See you soon.Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07873343302833115984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797664903162790497.post-77545240584003102952009-08-07T21:41:00.531-07:002009-08-07T21:41:00.531-07:00Hi there Cristina- thanks for your message and sor...Hi there Cristina- thanks for your message and sorry it has taken me a bit to get back to you. I have been travelling around a heap but am now back in Boulder.<br />Ok- your bike. To tell the truth I would be reluctant to change anything on your bike- you stick to what you are used to, to what you have been training on. Changing things up to suit a particular course can lead to injury and discomfort.<br /> I have raced Canada twice- once on my road bike (because that was the bike I had been training on all summer) and the second time on my TT bike- I broke the course record on this bike. I did not change a thing on my bike either time. On both bikes my saddle was forward as that is how I ride. <br />Yes- there are some long climbs in Canada but they are not super steap and there are plenty of flat time-trialling sections as well.<br />My opinion is to keep the bike the way you are used to- I do not think you need to change your saddle position for this course.<br />See you in Canada- I can't wait!!Granger Gazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147752230465956591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797664903162790497.post-11444436272069434452009-08-05T18:50:26.532-07:002009-08-05T18:50:26.532-07:00Hi Belinda
I have a question for you regarding bi...Hi Belinda<br /><br />I have a question for you regarding bike set up and thought you would be the expert to ask after last year's performance on the Ironman Canada bike course!<br />I have a Felt B2 2007 Time Trial bike. After describing the IMC course to my bike fitter, he decided that we should pull the seat back to allow me to get up Richter, the rollers and Yellow Lake with greater ease, however, after speaking with Merryn Johnston yesterday, she thought this might be contradictory to the geometry of the bike and would not necessarily make things any more efficient for me. What are your thoughts? Should saddle be positioned more forward for maximizing aero position or slightly more back for greater leg extention for climbing?<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing from you....will I be seeing you at IMC again this year? I hope so, although I can understand that if Kona is on the agenda...probably too close....<br />Anyways all the best with the rest of your season and I look forward to your suggestions.<br />Kind regards,<br />Cristina from Whistler, BCCristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07873343302833115984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797664903162790497.post-78689354874056692652009-08-05T18:44:08.389-07:002009-08-05T18:44:08.389-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07873343302833115984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797664903162790497.post-87974791541163079232009-07-15T14:50:13.060-07:002009-07-15T14:50:13.060-07:00Wow!
