Would you borrow a tri bike for a short race if you have been training on a road bike? Or would you just use the road bike you are used to?
My main concern is working slightly different muscle groups. I know I will be more AERO on the borrowed bike, but not sure if I will actually be FASTER, once muscle fatigue comes into play... Obviously, I am concerned with how this will affect the run, as well: would I be better of running after a tri bike I am NOT used to, or a road bike I AM used to?
EDIT: I have ridden TT bikes plenty in the past, just not any this season...and I will have it for about 10 days prior.
All feedback welcome, but I especially would like to hear from folks who have done it both ways: how did the run feel after road bike? ...tri bike?
I will, of course, make sure that all urine has been hosed off before I borrow it ;-)
