Hello! Triathlon vs Roadbike?

Hello This is my first post!

My wife is looking at road bikes and she put one on layaway because the price was right ( 05 Ironman/slice). The lbs fitted her and said if she would like any other bike it wouldnt be a problem to change our minds if we found something else to her liking.

I have a hybrid cannondale thus I can ride faster and longer against her comfort bike( road bike will help her keep up). Would you please explain the difference, and does it really matter wether the bike is a triathlon or performance road bike? By the way she wants to train for local/state events, I may be joining her but right now this uber clydesdale is on a hybrid 6'1"@ 355lbs from 450lbs. She has done well also @ dropping 26lbs since july 4th weekend . Basically we're hooked on cycling!!!

Hector.

Thanks for reading this.
