How do you have a feeling you will finish in the top 15? I am not doubting you, but have you done all 3 legs of the tri yet without rests in between?
I will be doing some team duathlon/triathlon events and I have been timing myself. The only factor you cannot control is the wind direction at the time of the race....
I am contemplating a new bike as well. I have a decent road bike with Sora components and I know it will get me to the finish line. I will be checking out a new Felt F85 over my lunch break in a few minutes.
