Extreme Veteran  355   Kuna, Idaho |  Subject: All hail the aero postion!!!Ok tonight was my first ride with aero bars and holy crap I have been missing out on easy speed. 25.5 Miles solo and an average speed of 19.5 mph. A huge improvement from 17.4 mph avg. I now need to get refitted for them and I should be able to get more speed. These are clip aero bars on to my allez. So what else am I missing that no one is telling me about. Is there a magic fix to get my swim 100’s under 1:30 and to be able to run sub 8 min miles? Come on spill the beans and let me in the club please. |

Well, there are the aero shoes that some of us use, but we're not really allowed to talk about that outside of the sub-8 club... |

Expert 655 Muncie, IN | Subject: RE: All hail the aero postion!!! I didn't think it would make much difference either but it does! I notice a much bigger difference when I'm headed into the wind. Now, I can't tell you my secret to my ability to run sub 7 minutes!(Ran 4 miles yesterday at 6:42pace)...oh well what the heck..it's probably the same with swimming...do lot's of it! Be happy...you could be like me and can't swim below a 2:00min 100!!! Edited by jmickle11 2007-03-16 6:28 AM |
