Why didn't I retire last year?

Sprint and Oly, plan is to do 1-2 half IM's next yr, perhaps IMLP in '06

MTB (used to race Expert, did a 24 hr race once), road bike (for fun and training, some charity centuries), adventure racing (sprint, and 24 hr so far). Don't know if rock (and ice) climbing count(s) as "slowly twitching" sorta activities, but I actually do them more now than any of the above.

Road/Tri - '99 Klein Quantum Race, stock everything, w/ Profile clip on aero bars. Considering some race wheels....

MTB - old bike: '97 ProFlex 957 w/ loads of ELS (Expensive, Lightweight Sh!t)

- really old bike: '94 RockHopper, w/ big gearing (48t) and 1.4 cross tires ='s crappy weather road bike

Live/ride/race: Hudson Valley, NY

What sport are you slowly twitching? (tri Oly, Du, TT, Mtb?..)
Triathlons. Sprints, Halfs and an IM. Only ride Mtb when out riding with the family.

What make/model/year of bike(s) do you have?

Tri: Planning to purchase a good used 2000 P3.
Road: 2002 Trek 1200
Mtb: 1996 Trek 820

Where do you reside and where do you ride?
I live north of Madison, WI. When not riding the rural roads near my house, I'm usually riding on the Ironman Wisconsin bike course loop or on the trainer in Winter months.

" BTW: wouldn't the QR 0 Gravity 03 for $1300
be a good deal/bike for a guy like me ? "


Um, yes if it fits.

1. I'm mostly and IM guy - I've done some 1/2 IMs and a few shorter distance tris, but only as a way to build strength / endurance for the long day. i would pick a bike race on the weekend over a sprint tri but would ride in the afternoon of either event. I've been thinking a lot about why I like IM best and I think it's because it's so damn hard. there is so off-the-couch way to finish the IM. even low volume training is still hard.



2. I ride a lot of bikes. Right now I train on a Trek 5.9 Madone SL and race on a Trek TT. I also have a LeMond for road racing and I have a cyclo-cross I ride all fall. Aside from some new parts for the bike my biggest tri-related purchases have been a PowerTap Pro and a rear disc. I think both make a big advantage and I would encourage people looking at a CT to get a PowerTap wheel instead.



3. I like in Wisconsin. It's damn cold here now - really cold. So today i'm going to ski for a while before my run and trainer ride. thank god for netflix!

If you are in the market for a wattage measuring system and a rear disc, would you consider a "powertap" hub in a disc? Do you think that would have a broad enough market?

I think if you could put a powertap in a disc some people would buy it, but it's so specialized and would be so expensive ($1800+ i would guess). I think for that money I would buy an SRM instead. I race a lot on the PT (i have a bontrager aero rim on it) and am going to re-build it onto a carbon rim to make it a bit more race ready.

The best thing that PT could do I think is match the SL hub with a really light rim to make a good climbing / road racing wheel.

Check out the new Zipp website, we are selling several wheels built with the powertap SL hub now.

After the swim, I'm a fish outta water.

Ironman and Half Ironmans

'02 Giant TCR Composite w/ Dura Ace 9spd
'04 Cervelo P3 w/ Dura Ace 10spd & Zipp 404s

Sammamish, WA and anywhere that I can (due to the damn winter its mainly on the trainer)

Sprints, DU's, STP (seattle to portland double century), at least one classic a year and a few MTB events

late 90's Specialized Stumpjumper. Bought second hand for dirt cheap.

2004 Bianchi Vigorelli Not really top of the line but I get by with what I can.

Olympia Wa. Most of my riding is done south of here in the bucoda/tenino/rochester area. I loves hills so also go out to Rainier when possible.

I race Duathlons and Triathlons from sprint to IM distances, but, I wouldn't say I race the IM distance ;-)

Ride a 2002 Talon Road bike for the rare large group ride, as long as the ride is short. But, 99% of the time I am fortunate and grateful that I am able to ride a 2004 Titan Flex without back pain. Back problems are forcing me to retire from long training/racing on my 2003 Yaqui Carbo...which makes me sad.

Reside and ride mainly in the Central Savannah River Area.
