Also Hinds57 in the TSR gear and my Prodigy, which got to race for once instead of the P2K.
Short RR: great swim! Decent bike until mile 43, where I had an asthma attack, then had to soft pedal or pass out. Was escorted from T2 directly to the medical tent where the paramedics took very good care of me. Over an hour later, they let me leave. Major thanks to Hinds57, JohnA, Brett and Patrick for making it a very fun weekend.
That bike could inspire a new bike measurement. As opposed to how many cm drop from saddle to aerobars, you could state how many cm the handlebars are above the tire. If he were to go any lower the wheel would be the limiting factor. Those bars are as close to the wheel as Heather Fuhrs and Bjorn is how much taller than her?
The engine is unquestionably strong - but you would think he would still want a set of fast wheels. Perhaps they are fast wheels - I don’t know my wheels well enough to say.
I took the road bike since it has better gearing (compact cranks) for the hills. What would have been ideal is for my team car to give me road bike at Beach Hill and the turn onto the road leading up to Nasty Grade. Then ride the tri bike the rest of the way.

He had a disc and deep rim on race day.
