Triathlon is such a demanding sport. I can cycle and run but i suck in swimming

@chowychow

Mate, I suck at all three, but for some reason I can't stop doing either one of them...

P5 only offers 2 watts of increased performance over the P4. It cost an extra $2000 for 2 watts. You could gain the same advantage by losing 1 kilo in weight and you'll save some serious money doing so.

can't wait to see trek's response to the Cervelo P5...as a tri bike the P5 is tough to beat

@straatman12345 what story?? he just states the obvious. The bike looks nice but really pointless if you are not lean.
