Had to quit running due to years of marathons and half-marathons in my 20s and 30s, then mtn bike racing in my 40s and 50s. Hike nearly every day in New Mexico and do trail work on the same trails.
Nice, I need to bike more myself. About 95% runner, 30-60 miles a week depending on if I'm training or not.
I have a 2017 Domane SL7. Great bike. I didn’t put nearly enough miles on this summer though. Kind of disappointed in myself. Next year I’m doing more. I’ve done a few longer rides like the CO triple bypass in 2021, and the my Evans hill climb the same year. Other than that. I usually do 50-70 mile rides when I get time. But didn’t do much at all this year. Too much jeeping. So I’m fat this year.
Me too, I just bought mine this spring. I'd convinced myself to buy a new one. Last was a 2011 Cannondale CAAD10. LOved that bike (still do) but it's straight RACE! I'm not that flexible anymore!I have a 2017 Domane SL7. Great bike. I didn’t put nearly enough miles on this summer though. Kind of disappointed in myself. Next year I’m doing more.

Next year I'm thinking about doing a Ironman so I'll more than likely end up with a new bike. I have never raced on a bike but have done 60 to 80 miles a few times. I'm still rocking a old Fuji bike I bought 3 years ago for $125. It's been a good bike but I definitely haven't put it to use like I need to. It's just hard to jump on the bike when I've been running most of the time and really enjoy running. My laughable bike for reference, people tell me it's a decent bike especially for the money I paid for it, I know very little about them.
I had to stop running after a short stint. I overdid it and mildly messed up my knees. I love road biking though, and even being pretty out of shape right now, can do some pretty long distance rides. I feel like the downhills are my reward for the climbs.
I feel ya there. I need to ride more in my recovery days. I'm training for a Half in October and then another Marathon in February or March. Trying to qualify for Boston at my next Marathon. Need to be under 3:20. Using the Half as a training/ speed run. It's in Black Mountain NC so it will have some hills. Hoping to be 1:37 or under there. Had some pretty decent speed workouts this week.
Looks like it's got Shimano 105 which a good/great component set. It's the same as my Cannondale. With some aero bars added you'll be great for a Tri. I did a sprint back in 2019 and have been wanting to do more since. I really need to get back in the poolNext year I'm thinking about doing a Ironman so I'll more than likely end up with a new bike.
