Friday Confessional – New Speedfil
Friday, August 27th, 2010
My friend and upstairs neighbor was hanging out in my living room yesterday and I yelled out “Hey, want to check out my sweet new water bottle!”
Yeah. I’m a huge nerd.
Who the heck gets geeked out about a new hydration system?! I’ll tell you who.
The same guy who is sitting at work dreaming about how aero it looks, fitting neatly against the down tube and seat tube and how he can’t wait to drink out of it on my ride tomorrow.
A big freaking triathlon nerd.
Enter the Speedfil. 42 oz of hydration goodness straight into my face without leaving the aero position. I’ve seen a ton of people battle with aero bar-mounted bottles and was really hesitant to go that route. The Speedfil seemed like a perfect solution, especially after I did the math and realized that with my nutrition plan, 3 standard bottles just wasn’t going to cut it. ESPECIALLY if it is hot on the day of Rev3 Cedar Point. I got the new hook up from All3Sports.com and some new hydration goodness showed up at my door a few days later.
My stomach is going to be nice and happy all the way into T2.

I have been using a Speedfil all summer and it’s been great for long hot rides. I can carry 4 hours of fluids in one go! The hardest part was getting the straw the right length-had to go through a few straws
it will be great for you at CP!
Perfect!
Are you ready to go supah fast!?!? 2 weeks!!!!
