This will be my first year at Wildflower, and it is also my first year on a true tri-bike--I've always ridden a road bike in my version of the big-slam version before. So, based on the size & # of hills, would it make more sense to ride my road bike or tri bike? I climb much better on my road bike--probably 2-5 mph faster as I am able to situp/sit-back on the bike & bring other muscles into play as opposed to just spinning up on my tri-bike. I'm much more comfortable on my road bike as well. Given that, and based on the fact that I'm not going to be pushing the bike until the hills & saving for the run, which would you recommend?
On the same vein, which is more important on this course--weight or aero? I can run a Zipp disc, Zipp 909 front, tri spokes front & rear, or any combination....what would you recommend?
Thanks!

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." John Rogers
