It has been awhile so here is what I have been up to.
In September of 2010 I purchased a 2008 Kestrel Talon in tri form. I really enjoyed the bike in that form but since I moved to Colorado in January of this year that setup would not work for me hear at present time. The first step was to replace my 11-23 cassette to an 11-28. This would help with climbing but not effect my top end. Next, due to budget I purchased a set of Forte (Performance Bike house brand) carbon shifters. Ultimately, I would like to have Ultegra or Dura-Ace shifters but I got the Forte shifters for $175. I also added an Easton EA30 aero drop bars. At 19 pounds It is still a bit heavy but it is fast and has a very comfortable ride. I really enjoy the Kestrel.
I have ridden 2,400 miles so far for 2011. My goal was 2,500 so I am happy with where I am at this point. I didn't do any big rides like Mt. Evans or a century but I did a lot of 50+ mile rides.
I am now getting ready to start running. I hope to do a 10k by May 2012. For 2012 my cycling mileage goal is 3,500 and 800 miles for running.
I currently weigh 233 but want to drop to 195 by May.
