I'm new to this whole sponsorship thing, so I'm totally blown away by what it offers. Let's review:
First, I was able to obtain a BMC TT03 bike frame. It is so sweet. The way the carbon is shaped makes looks fast just sitting on the stand. Strapped into the front fork is a ZIPP 404. In the rear dropouts is a ZIPP 808 around a CycleOps SLC+ PowerMeter. Both wheels have the trademarked dimples that cut through the wind like a golf ball. Strapped to the back wheel is a 10-speed SRAM Force derailleur system, powered by ZIPP VumaQuad compact cranks. The flight deck is controlled by ZIPP VukaAero bars. Of course, all of this will sit in transition waiting for me to get out of the water, wiggling out of my 2XU Elite wetsuit.
Sadly, I have yet to try out any of the new gear above. I'm waiting on tires and a saddle for the bike. And the ice hasn't melted on the lakes, so no wetsuit swimming yet. But, the tires are on the way, and I'll get a saddle when I get fit on my bike next week at CronoMetro.
Hopefully the weather holds and I'll get a few rides in before we leave on our road trip to New Orleans, which is only two weeks away!
