C'mon man this is an old pic. I repaired the frame with clear packing tape. You can't even see those tiny cracks now. Rides like a dream and a crabon Terk is crazy light. You could lift it with your pinky toe. I'll throw in some new bar tape, your choice of color.

dude your helmet is fine. The fancy aero helmets will only make a difference after you get to the point where you're riding 25 mph plus for a whole hour straight. Even then, it'll only give you a few extra seconds. And it'll make you look a lot sillier, so not worth it. Your helmet has a visor to protect you from the sun only partially. It's also made so that if you go offroad with it it'll (only very slightly) help brush branches away before they smack you in the face. If you don't like it take it off. If you do like it leave it. It's not going to make a difference either way. If it makes you feel faster, leave it and maybe you'll go faster because you feel faster. It's called the placebo effect and it's proven to work.

running after i get off my bike is easy. i actually like it because my breathing is already worked up and can justify the running strength. when i started running today, i usually do a warm up walk around the track and then start jogging. i lose my breath rather easily. but in my workout, once my bike is fixed, i am going to start doing like 10 miles on the bike and then jogging 2 miles. then im gonna up it to 15 on bike and jogging 2. then im gonna up it to like 15 and jogging 3. then im gonna do 19 on bike and 3. then 21 on bike and 4. then 21 on bike and 4. then 24 on bike and 5. then 24 on bike and 6. and by that time it will be time for teh triathlon. each segment i just posted is what the week's workout will be.
