Wish this ad was for me…alas a good buddy from the Eastern Shore snagged a slot in the IM70.3 Championships in Chattanooga at Eagleman. He’s very interested in sharing a ride with someone heading down there for the race – I’m trying to help out by posting this for him as my finishing time at Eagleman wasn’t going to get me a slot no matter how…[Read more]

I did IMNC last Fall. In general, I really enjoyed the race – the community there is great. If you can get a small group and rent a house on Wrightsville Beach near the swim start, that’s an early win. The swim is fast – in the channel with a nice push assist – I did my full IM swim in like 1:05! My friends doing the half had very fast swi…[Read more]

Be wary of the flat bike course in Rock Hall if it’s your first race – the temptation to hammer away is very strong and have no doubt – you will pay for that on the run. The run is flat as well – but it’s hot and you can mess yourself up really badly if you’re not careful. When I did the race in 2015 a fellow in good shape went way too hard on t…[Read more]

You can never have too many bikes! Seriously, I love my Fuji roadie and my QR Seduza TT bikes – the Seduza has taken me through many triathlons and could continue to do so…the song of Di2 is really strong tho….

I hope I can make it this year…I opened my season with IM 70.3 Galveston…frankly, it wasn’t nearly as fun as Peasantman…$75 for Peasantman versus $350 bucks (plus airfare, bike shipment, meals…) for an IM branded race? Oh wait, I got a tech t-shirt and a pathetic bag too small for my two month old to use for anything other than her…[Read more]

globetrotterjon replied to the topic Recommendations for bike fit in the forum Gear Advice 7 years, 6 months ago
…and yet another recommendation for Smiley. I spent three sessions with him getting my bike (which I thought fit well) and me ready for Ironman North Carolina last fall. Simply put, it was the best money I spent on my bike outside the bike itself. Smiley spends hours ensuring that your bike is fitted to you – well beyond some of the other so…[Read more]
