After reading the earlier thread "Painful transition- TT to Road bike" I started coming up with some questions.
I'm looking at a P3, Aegis T2 and a few other tri bikes this weekend. I'm curious how long it will take me to adapt from riding a TCR Composite with Jammer GT bars. I'm planning on using the new bike for two races in Sept (Oly & 1/2IM. I'm not too concerned with performance in these races as they are being used to help me build my racing plans for my IM debut in April.
Will I be able to get situated enough on the bike to race decently in 6-7 weeks?
In the long term will I be able to get it all sorted out in time for an IM in April?
I'm pretty sure I'll have enough time to get everything sorted out fit wise and power wise as I'll have a few lactate/power tests on the new bike between now and April. Mainly I'm being paranoid about my first IM and want to make sure I'm doing everything right (if there is such a thing).
Thanks
