Hi all,
Just entered my first tri at Fritton Lake in the Sprint event at the end of May. Kind of went in blind knowing I needed a goal for my training. Has anyone been a part of this event? Is it a good one for a beginer? I guess I'll find out in May but I would like a heads up before!!
Also, is it worth getting Aero Bars for my bike. On the turbo last night I rode in the Aero postion for a while, seemed like a position that would be hard to master/adapt to, my HR shot up keeping the same cadence/resistance? Could it be something to do with setup, as I also seem to struggle to find comfort when Im in the 'drops' also?
Thanks guys!

The most important advice you'll get is to............ enjoy it !
Don't set yourself unrealistic targets, don't get too stressed, use it as a bench mark for the future.
Good luck.
I got some Profile Carbon Stryke Aero Bars for Xmas to put on my Trek 1.7.
Even after a three week hiatus from the road due to festivities and the snow I knocked 3.5 minutes off my last 2009 40km time. Some of this will be due to the rest time, but from my perspective they were worth it.
Initially they feel a bit unstable, but you get used to it, and my legs definitely feel fresher afterwards.
