I have been given 7 weeks.
My beautiful wife of 3 months will be running the Boston Marathon, which is great. I was going to Boston to watch with my friend who also has his wife running Boston. It was going to be a nice vacation. To my surprise Clint turned on me and with little training decided to run the Marine Corps Marathon in hopes of qualifying for Boston. 3 hours, 9 minutes, and 40 seconds later he crossed the line. I waited for the phone call....
I was told I would be spectating at Boston alone unless I manned up (he used more persuasive wording) and qualified too. So the Dallas Whiterock is in 7 weeks. Thats 7 weeks to go from casual 4 mile runs to 3:10 Marathon shape.
wish me luck

Electronic Dura Ace on the Cervelo P4
We recently built up a P4 with Di2. The good news is that it not only works... but its F'in awesome.
The ability to shift gears from from both the basebar and the aerobars has been a major highlight.
Our mechanics were able to incorporate the battery and a lot of the wiring within the aero bottle by
cutting out the bottom of it. So at this point is not so much a bottle, but a battery fairing gizmo.
Easton Crankset with Sram 54t ring and Mavic Ti Pedals
Notice the wire entering the bottle
FD wire exiting bottle
Casing removed to show hardware
Top shot of modified battery mount and wiring
If you are in town for the Longhorn 70.3 be sure to stop by and check it out. You will be impressed
by the perfect shifting of Di2.
