Any changes to my 2010 gear…

I don’t have any changes planned about my gear for this season and in particular my TT bike. I will probably continue to ride my special edition Cervelo P3 with the Olympic Rings. I hope to get the opportunity to change my 3T Ventus LTD aerobar. It is one of must aerodynamic aerobar on the market, but I am having difficulties controlling it in the turns. The handlebars are too small for me, and I can’t really get my hands around them and by that a firm grip, so I feel that I don’t have enough control of the bike in the turns, so I end up breaking too much going into the turn, and getting out the turn in too slow of a speed. The main problem is that my technical skills are non-existing, but I believe, that if I can ride with an aerobar, where the handlebars are positioned further ahead, and with a larger grip for my hands, that will make it easier for me to control it thru the turns.

And I would really like a disc wheel! I think that I have real disadvantage to my main competitors, and this is my main priority to get changed. I really hope that I will be able to get myself a tubular disc wheel, and a new front wheel, with a profile like my current Zipp 404, but the new one also needs to be a tubular wheel.

In regards to swimming and running gear, then I will continue to use my Blue Seventy Helix wetsuit, all though it has almost as many scratches and small holes as I have shoes… My running shoes is another science, and I may try some different brands and models during the spring to find the best suitable pair for me to run my fastest ever finishing Ironman Marathon run. Go on my son… Give it some violence...
