Just about to place an order for the last remaining size 58 P5 disc in Europe....and making sure it's a "makes sense" purchase!
I'm 46 (220lbs and 6ft6) and been running (beyond parkruns) about a year. Not had a bike since I was a kid but got a Wahoo Kickr Indoor Bike to do some cycling over lockdown and keep loosing weight (was 330lbs a few years back)
So....Like the idea of cycling and so now want to try for a sub 12 hr Ironman in 2021 as a "target" to keep me exercising. Plan was to get a Trek Madone 2021 but it arrived today with a cracked frame!!!! So.....waiting 5 weeks for a new one to come.
Got me thinking, maybe I should just get a TT bike (as a few have said I should) so got looking and found this last P5 for sale.
My use will be training on it at weekends (both pre and after the Ironman) and maybe a few duathlons now and then to spice up my weekends of doing the occasional 5/10k race.
I NEVER will ride in a group - I never ride or run with anyone (apart from my little dog) so the "TT bikes no good in groups thing doesnt matter.
Just wondering if a TT bike as my only bike is sensible and also if (at 6ft6) I'll fit on a 58 (it will have the ex10 front end fitted)
Thanks
Mark
