Hello! I just started getting back into training for triathlons, my goal is to do a full Ironman. My history is I have completed two 70.3's and numerous other shorter distance triathlons. I have been out of the game for a while but my base is solid. I know an Ironman is QUITE the EXTREME goal but a girl can dream. I need help I currently have an old 2005 Trek road bike that was low end when I bought it. I want to invest in a beginner triathlon bike approx. $3,000. I do not know where to begin and I know nothing about where to start. The more I research the more I get overwhelmed. I know I need to go into some bike shops and start looking at bikes and asking questions. But some advice would be greatly appreciated. I do not have any bike shops close by so I will need to travel an hour or two to get to some. I live in Southern California and want to have an idea of what to look for and ask before I start. Thank you.
