Personally, I think the single greatest investment a cyclist or triathlete can make in his or her own performance is a professional bicycle fit. I am not saying this as a coach or even a bike fitter, but as one who has seen far too many athletes spend small fortunes on bicycles that in the end were not properly fitted to them.
A bicycle fit is essentially the proper marriage between rider and bicycle. It the past, determining the proper frame size one should ride was done using a generic formula (.647 x your inseam in centimeters), which would give you an approximation of your frame size (ie. an 85cm inseam would point to a 55cm frame size). But that method does not work as well as it has in the past.

As a passionate track rider, I knew of Kelly as a member of the USA Women’s Pursuit Team which eventually won Silver at the 2016 Summer Olympics. However, I did not realize how exceptional she was until I listened to an interview with her following the Olympics on the Cycling Podcast where she played Violin and told of her academic pursuits. Her ability to conquer so many huge tasks led me to believe she was super human and invincible. Only a machine without flaws could do so much. But Kelly was not a machine, she was a human and we need to remember that.
