My wife and I remember that bike from Lake Placid this year, my first full distance Ironman ever. How did it turn out for you? I can tell you that Ironman is way harder than I had expected...especially the bike portion. 11:15 and done for me, battling shingles made it fun.

Its great to hear that you can refill the bottle on the go and you can just throw a bottle BTA or Torhans BTA and be good to go from there. This makes my purchase that much easier. I am being told that the Ventum One just won't fit me, but the Ventum Z will. Your advice on this has been very helpful.
