God luck with your Tri.
Bingo! Doh!! I was pretty sure it was something simple and stupid that I was doing wrong. Thanks SO much THorse.
Nerull - yeah, I was just frustrated as h-ll. The more you do something (wrong), the closer you get to a deadline, and the harder it gets to think about what's happening.
What was really throwing me was that it would work for a little while, on flat terrain, but after a few shifts or when climbing it just went to crap.
