In prep for Ironman this year and bearing in mind the last few long distance tris I’ve done I’ve run terribly off the bike I booked myself into a bike fit with Matt Bottril, was a great experience despite the long trip up there, feel like it’s a great blend of getting biomechanics right and heading in the right direction aerodynamically, only slight gripe is the way he puts on some pretty expensive parts on your bike without that much consent in terms of how much you’re spending,
Changes for me were a change of extensions, a slight dropping of my hands, I chose to switch to single button di2 as I want to take the broken ones off and cannibalise them for another project, new cleat position and shims under one foot and then a move of the saddle up and forwards. He also suggested buying a new helmet as the met drone looks to compliment my body position better…
In the couple of weeks since I’ve noticed a big difference in comfort of the bike - managed a pretty solid hour in position on the turbo at the weekend, something I’d never managed before.
In other news training is going ok, but work travel for the last two weeks has meant I didn’t have as much time on Saturdays to do a long ride, as I’ve been making up time with the family, no travel for a few weeks now so I’m looking forward to getting some longer rides in the next few weeks!
