Summary

Michael Liberzon is a Toronto-based triathlon coach, bike fitter and aero tester, and host of the Endurance Innovation podcast. In this episode Michael explains what gains can be made by upgrading from a road bike to a Time Trial bike, and how things like the type of course and terrain can impact your choice of bike. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Expected time gains for a TT bike vs. a road bike over sprint, Olympic, half and full distance races on relatively flat courses. -Is there a point where a course is so hilly that it makes sense to race on a road bike? -When might it make sense to simply put extensions on a road bike rather than purchasing an entirely new bike? -At what speed does it make sense to get out of the aerobars and sit up when climbing? -Other considerations for racing on hilly courses like disc wheel and hydration setup SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts338/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration - Optimise and individualise your fueling and hydration strategy using the free online Sweat Test and Quick Carb Calculator on precisionfuelandhydration.com.
