I was the same as you.

Moved up from sprint to olympic and 1/2 IM events.

I bought a cannondale slice. Paid around $4000 NZD for it. I rode it for about 6 months, disliked it and sold it and lost $2000 on the depreciation.

First step for you would be to try clip ons on your road bike to see if you enjoy being in that position for a long time.


I agree, maybe try clip-on aero bars and a forward facing seat post. I got a road bike first with this set-up and I found that I preferred the aero position. Then I got a used tri bike and I love it. I still have the road bike but I find that I prefer the aero position so it get more use.
