Great advice 😊

[@AirbornePirates]

Really been enjoying your series, I’m doing my first 70.3 next year. What model is your trek? Is the the Emonda? Thanks

[@Hamsterlovers408]

HELP! at 12:12 in this video you show a double Garmin style head unit mount. I can see a Garmin type computer on the top and then underneath that there's a second Garmin style mount where your MagicShine Alty light is mounted right side up. I have a Garmin style out front mount on my bike and it only has the "GoPro" type mount on the underside, this allow me to attach my MagicShine, but it's upside down and so the light pattern is wrong as well as the power/brightness is also on the bottom. Can you tell me/us what that mount is on your Trek bars? Very curious! Thanks - C.

I have the Trek Blendr system, in particularly, these components: - Trek RCS Pro Stem Blendr Duo Base - Trek Blendr Garmin Low Mount - Trek Blendr Garmin High Mount

Lovely looking Domane, I myself went with a Reacto 5000 and sized down to a 52

[@fitin30challenge]

Very nice bike! Quite a bit faster than mine. The Domane is a heavy lump!

[@CamAdams-w9n]

Love the journey. Keep it up mate

[@fitin30challenge]

Thank you, I appreciate the support 🙏🏼

[@JoseAlvarez-eo9uf]

Great bike choice! I just bought the same bike last week!

[@fitin30challenge]

Oh nice! Have you bought any upgrades for it?

[@HarishChouhan]

that was picture of IM 70.3 Da Nang. I live in Da Nang. Have you been here before?

[@fitin30challenge]

Never been before, but I will be heading there in May for my 70.3 ;)

[@HarishChouhan]

@@fitin30challenge Good luck mate. I took part the last 2 years only was able to finish the race the 2nd time this year. First year I got DNF'd for swimming. I under estimated how long it takes to learn swimming as an adult for someone who has never been inside a pool or sea before. Was first though. Last year I had severe cramps so had to ride slower than my training rides and had to almost walk/limp to the finish line. If you need any info about Da Nang, especially related to the course, etc. let me know.

Find a local bike shop and then buy your bike online 😅

[@fitin30challenge]

I bought the bike at my local bike shop, but they had to order it in because they didn't have stock ;)
