This episode is really three fold. First we briefly run through the changes and improvements to the 2019 USA Triathlon National Championship course in Cleveland, OH.
Secondly, we run through when and what cycling equipment to upgrade first if you are looking for performance gains (faster splits, speeds, etc).
Lastly, we cover when it’s just a better idea to bite the bullet and look into getting a complete bike. It's a tricky topic that really revolves around what you are looking to achieve, your budget, and how hard you are jonesing for a new ride. We get it! We're always looking for an excuse to add to the stable.
