I'm doing my 2'nd IM this weekend on my road bike - Trek 5200. I modified it with areobars and a forward seatpost. Works great.

Agreed- it works fine. I put aero bars on my road bike on the Vineman 70.3 this year. Road a 2:38 on it I think.

I used an RB for 2IMs, for the third I switched to a TT bike. Yes, an RB is good but I find that a TT bike is better on the legs, i.e., saves them more and allows for a better/easier run....for me. RB is good, use it if you cannot/like/or want a TT (tri) bike.

Any thoughts on using a road race geometry bicycle for a longer distance tri (ironman or half)?
