I'll be there in the men's A race. Did it last year, too, and I think it's a great course, really different. Which race are you in?

Along the same lines, does anyone have an opinion on 2XU tights? The shop that sponsors my team (where I get a discount) offers their stuff, and I've thought about giving it a try.

I've had a good experience with the pedals. They've got a decent sized platform, which helps prevent hot spots (at least I haven't had trouble). I agree that the simplicity of SPD is nice--I paired...
