Marty Miller — Competitive Triathlete

Back in July I was fortunate enough to set up a bike fitting appointment with you.  You may remember I was having problems with some left knee and hip discomfort and could not find a comfortable “aero” position as a newbie triathlete.  And I felt I wasn’t getting enough power to the pedals.  You made some adjustments, crafted inserts for my shoes, and dialed in saddle and bar height for me.  I remember you made a remark about how with these adjustments I might possibly be 1-2 mph faster in this new position, “maybe faster.”  I was open-minded but skeptical whether those adjustments could make that much difference with the same pair of legs providing the power.

I’m happy to say that I on three separate subsequent 15-mile time-trial training runs I was over 2 mph faster.  I rode 3.2 mph faster than me previous personal best on one largely flat TT run this summer.  Last Saturday I finished a sprint triathlon with my best bike split ever.  Not only was I faster but I felt much stronger going into the run.  And my rides leading up to race were much more comfortable and enjoyable.  Thank you for that.
