Hi all. Being new to the sport (although a little late!), I am breathing, eating, sleeping in anticipation of my first triathlon this April 11th. So as a beginner, I naturally have a ton a questions…and am looking forward to some of your feedback!!

While riding(should mention I’m using a road bike), i always get this numbness in my left hand about 15-20 mins in the ride while using the aero bars. When I straighten up, the numbness disappears, but comes back as soon as I go back down. How common, and does anyone have a trick to alleviate it? Read about padded gloves, but I hardly close my hands on the bars, so I’m pretty sure that’s not the problem. What else could it be??

Cheers!!
