On a related note, how did your first tri go? I'm currently training for mine; I'm going to do a half (70.3) in San Diego in April, but as preparation, I doing an Olympic in September, and maybe some others before the half.

Bianchi are great bikes. I guess craig list is a route i will take. i just spent alot on full suspension XC bike so want to limit my tri bike purchase.
you are doing a half, wow that is impressive. you must be in kick ass shape. best of luck. this was my first tri and like i said i am addicted. i am signed up for 2 more sprints now one in 4 weeks thanks to friends and considering an olympic in october.
as far as how i did....i am little disappointed. it was my biking that really sucked.
sprint tri
1/4 mile swim - 7:30 min
12 mile bike - 43:20 min (HORRIBLE - mountain bike on road sucks)
3 mile run - 26:33 min
Total 1:21 hr
winner time 48 min
