High 5
Nik Cook sent us through this weeks high 5, here\u2019s his email:
Just thought I'd drop you a quick line.. Really enjoy the show, only just got into it after being away from multisport for a bit. Quick bit of info about riding/training on a fixed.. attached is an article I wrote on the subject for Ultra Fit UK. Main advantages are
\xa0
1: Increased cadence
2: Smoother peddling stroke
3:\xa0Greater strength (you've no gears to shift down on hills so its up to you)
4: Time efficient, no freewheeling and even having to work on downhills
5: Bombproof, maintenance free bike for those of us who live in less clement climes... saves your best bike a winters work.
6: You feel totally in touch with your bike.. a bit zen.. no I won't start chanting.
7: A definite cool factor

I was checking out a tri web store, http://triathlonlab.com/ , and found this awesome water bottle/gel flask.
http://www.hydrapak.com/catalog/product2095.htm \xa0 I bought one and will definitely buy another. \xa0In the interest of Ironman antics (IM FL 2004), I am currently registered for the Disney Race and a Half, where I am running a 5K on Friday, 13.1 on Saturday and 26.2 on Sunday around Disney World. \xa0The Gel-Bot is going to save me much hassle as I crank through the 42.2 miles.
