Yesterday I installed the Showers Pass VelEau 42 and needed to test it out so I filled it with water, put on my bike shoes, helmet, sunglasses and rode off into the sunrise. All in all the VelEau work really well, no more coasting down the road while I drink from a water bottle. This should make my bike times in the triathlon shorter. I cut the tubing short by about an inch and there isn't a way to make it longer other then to order more tubing. So take my advice and plan on leaving the tubing long until you get in a couple of practice rides. I just need to stay in an aero position to drink which is really a problem.
After the bike ride I went for a run in the neighborhood. It's been awhile since I ran on the road and I noticed two things. One, I started off very fast which never happens when I run on the treadmill. Two, running fast down hills can put you into bad form and cause injuries so I had to slow down.
Bike = 22.48 miles
Run = 3.1 miles
