Triathlon on a fixed?

Has anyone any thoughts about or experience of doing a sprint triathlon on a fixed set up?
I am doing my first one Sept 18th and dont want to and cant afford to buy a flash geared road bike

the bike part is 20 k and winning times are around 32 to 36 minutes. mostly flat..

i run a 42-15 which is 73.9 inches i think.

Viable? too spinny for the 5k run after??

Er, 'Triathlon', 'Search'.

They won't let ya tio. And Utfs.

dont think you are allowed

"UTFS"; Good advice there from the joined-three-weeks-and-a-year-ago-member. If he can get it, why can't other people?

Three weeks? I really have taken too much ketamine.

I was going to do a duathlon over here (Northern Ireland) on the fixed the other day - in the end I didn't manage to get there on time but it was discussed when I was there... I had fitted a front and it was generally agreed with a front brake (on closed road) that they would let me compete. Next time!

its 2009 wiganwill : )

I really don't know what you're talking about. Use The Fucking Edit ;)

Did Ron Paul win the election? Has MJ started his world tour yet?

I saw someone doing the Blenheim Triathlon on a track bike. So it can be done. Times ? ! You'll get absolutely nowhere on a fixie!

good to know what UTFS means finally! you SPBOW

0 for thread titles I mean.

You can do it on a single-speed but not fixed. BTF rules state that you must have a free-wheel and two brakes fitted. Also don't forget that you've gotta plug your bar ends if they aren't already.

thanks guys... loving this search thing too. It could catch on
