• I finally did a Hippy!

    Got a triathlon last night and went to pop my shoes on the bike and discovered they were at home..

    I can definitely not recommend Nike alphaflys as cycling shoes… very little grip on the pedals and adding 45mm+ of stack meant my hip flexors cramped up after 17.5k

  • Haha yeah at least when I did it I was on SPD-SL with a bit of meat on the pedals. Now I'm on Speedplay I try to make sure I pack two pairs of shoes before every race... just in case :)

  • You must have lost so much power riding in those. All that squish every pedal stroke. Probably reduce the life of that zoom x a bit too it really doesn't last long. By the time i got rid my 4% the midsoles felt like running on a couple of stale pitta breads. Probably much better for cycling in by that point though.
