That's just standard for any time-trial! Nothing triathlon specific about that.
I don't do triathlons anymore either, Ironman ticked off the bucket list and swimming sucks!

Any nearly every Tri guy I know hates swimming lol

Yep - already planned to pinch a friend's aero bars and give them a try. Feel like I might have to slam the stem a bit to accommodate.
Surely leg shaving will have no benefit in winter anyway
I'll undoubtedly have leg warmers on!Offices are moving making a commute more feasible 
12miles currently which wasn't the deal breaker, just the lack of a shower was.
9 miles instead soon with the option of 200ft or 500ft (including 16% ) 
and closer to the hills for the scenic route home \o/

I couldn't deal without a shower after my commute, especially in the Summer.....I wouldn't wish being near me after a hot ride on anyone lol!
Back in the country tomorrow, the forecast looks promising.....maybe even summer bike worthy.....if its dry.

Well that was chilly. Glad I didn't go out first thing. Was still - 1 apparently at 12... Snow was coming down in small bits but nothing major.
Smashed it round for just under 90mins at 95% ftp.legs feeling really good at the moment. Probably could have done more if it wasn't so bloody cold! Bath Definitely needed to get warmed back up.

Finally got all the bits and some time to convert my old Cotic to a CX bike. At the same time I moved it from 9 speed Sora and BB7s to Ultegra + hydraulics + 50mm carbon rims. Should be a substantial difference Need to bar tape it tomorrow and take it for a test spin.
I'll continue to use it for turboing too. Need to fit the 23mm turbo tyre on a spare 23mm rim wheel I have. Bit concerned that'll be a little sub-optimal but I suppose it doesn't matter much.
Old monstrosity set up for turboing only:
CX mode and all the "new" bits:

Ouch, sorry to hear that :/
Do you have witnesses and/or did the driver admit fault? Exchanged details? You definitely should report to the police as that's very important for everything going forward.
Do you have insurance and/or BC membership?
