I haven't seen this exact thread on here, but if this has already been discussed, a link to the thread would be appreciated.
I'm looking to do an iron distance race in the 2020 season. Recently, I've raced (many Oly and one HIM) on a 2014 Trek Madone 6.2 H2 fit with stock everything except a forward seatmast and clip-on aerobars. I feel as though my fit is almost as good as it can be on this particular road bike.
My question is, since I'm comfortable with shorter race distances on this bike, does the jump to a full warrant an upgrade to a full on tri bike (ballin on a budget so let's assume stock everything)? Or would an upgrade to a 5/7 carbon wheelset be better? Regardless of the price difference, assume I can only buy one thing.
