Switching from a nice De Rosa crit bike to a full blown Felt tri bike creates many variables.
The Felt was a much better tool for the events she entered and her conditioning had really improved as well.
Her swimming and running times improved, but not nearly as dramatically as the bike portion.
I came to realize that she is a much better athlete than most of the washed up racers I ride with.
Heck, she could have probably kicked most of our rears when we were in our prime.
