Critique my position (7)

Triathlon Forum

Hey folks,

Got my new rig, but I’m having a really hard time generating any power from this position. It was a professional fit, but my neck is killing me around mile 10 and I’m having real stomach problems whilst maintaining an aero position. I have not done any ab work- core- but apparently need to because I cannot go more than a mile without experiencing a lot of pain. The fitter said this was as Aero as I could possibly be, but I just don’t think I can keep this up. What do you think? Any advice?

Fugly helmet.

3

Seat is too high.

4

damn…was just gonna say that!

5

too many spokes
.

6

Lots of aerodynamic turbulence being caused by all the crap in your jersey pockets…you want a clean line from the back of the helmet to your shoes.

7

rough road must be hell
.

8

You need to work on your ankle flexibility so you can point those toes straighter.

9

Air pressure in the back tire looks lower than the front.

Too funny. When I saw the superman position in this month’s Bicycling, I realized I hadn’t done a superman on a bike since I was… uhh… six years old? Naturally, I had to go out and do one to see if it was as much fun as I remembered. Yep, still fun!

I’m SO tempted to do one during my next race, should I manage to see the photographer in time.
