The bike that I acquired at a steal-of-a-deal late last year has proved a little difficult to get used to. The '09 Trek Equinox 7 WSD is built for aerodynamics and efficient use of my muscle power, regardless of condition of said muscle power. I had a hard time getting used to the aero position on this bike and the shorter wheelbase made it seem quirky.
And as the Minneapolis Duathlon was approaching, I was considering even riding my mountain bike, since I was questioning the comfort of this bike. But I had ridden it on some rides longer than the event, so I eventually got off the fence and decided to use this bike. And I was glad I did.
Even though I hadn't felt too comfortable on the bike, the ride portion of the duathlon felt pretty good. And the speed of the bike, despite some rough roads, was a lot of fun! So, I think I'll keep it!
