Willem, just regular coffee, but it's good coffee. Yes the less is more plan will work for you with your swims. You're just tired from all the training, as you taper your speed will come up, have a good 30k run.

R, Good job, Glad you had a good day.

I had a good day to, I started with my frre Mac'ds coffee before swimming, then after my swim had another free Mac D's coffee, then headed out for my first outdoor bike ride finishing off with another free MacD's coffee at the end of my ride.

I posted a video of my ride on my blog.

I'm planning on another ride later today as it warms up, probably finishing off with another drive thru on my bike at MacD's for a free coffee at the end..

Rod-
I got a P2C last year- way better bike than I am a rider.

As far as wheels go, I've always liked the Zipps. A buddy of mine is going to sell his 404's. I don't know whta year they are, but they will come with tires, tubes, and dura ace cassette. They have been ridden in 4 races total and 1 training ride. I'm not sure why he's elling 'em, actually, but if you're interested, I'll let you know the details in a few days. Either way, you've got a great bike!

Well I did it. Bought my 2010 Cervelo P2 today. Should be able to pick it up in a week. Now I just need to decide on race wheels. My LBS is encouraging me to get Reynolds Strikes (66mm rims) while I am also considering Hed Jet C2's. 60mm front and 90mm rear. Any suggestions on which wheels I should get?
