Bike leg twist

I would switch my pedals out with my mountain bike pedal and use my MTB shoes(which you could walk/run in). Maybe just flat pedal and sneakers in this case?

I have a feeling that you are going to see a lot of comfort and cruiser bikes on this.

Cyclecross!!! not carrying for miles, but there are races where you have to carry your bike.

I would skip the bike and do the 15 mile paddle.

I'll be doing that right after the bike!

Doing the extreme; swim, bike, kayak, run!




My big question got hidden a bit.

Cleats/Bike shoes & change for the 3 mile or flat pedals and running shoes.

My thoughts are it is only 12 miles of cycling I won't lose that much from flats and shoes

I think that I am probably going to go with the flat pedals and my running shoes. That will be the best compromise I see. Not like a I am a 20mph rider (19.8)



On to the next topic. Just because I don't want to clutter the board with my nonsense.


The Swim (4 miles)

Question here is two fold.

Good or Bad I've been swimming about 30-33 min for the last year or so. I've upped that to 45 min the last few weeks and today I swam 1:30. I've peaked a few times and swam a 29:15min mile (1:52) But, normally I swim the 45min at a 1:59-2:01 pace. So today I stretched it out and kept it at 1:59-2:01 for the entire time.

So I am not swimming hard enough on the short swims or is this really and impossible question to answer with out more detail.

Second Question:
This is a not USTA race, just a home grown event. So, it is wet suit legal or they are allowed. Should I take advantage of that? I would suspect the water temps would be very poolish. 82-86 by late august I would guess.
