OH NOOOOO!

I am so bummed right now.  I was cleaning up my tri bike last night when I noticed that the right bar extension on my aerobars was wiggling side to side.  I just figured it was loose and needed to be tightened.  Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Do you see how the bar extension has separated along some sort of seam??

Here is a close up view:

It is completely loose and basically broken!!!  Because they are the Vision aerobars from Full Speed Ahead, I contacted their warranty department to see what, if anything, they could do about it.  LUCKILY, I am within the 2yr. warranty period!  PHEW!  But, I have to take the aerobars completely apart and send in both bar extensions.  Ugh!  I'm going to go to the TriBella store today and see if they can do it for me b/c I have no idea how to get the shifters off of the bar extensions, let alone take off everything else.
FSA said it normally has a 24-48hr. processing time once they receive the part.  But, if you take the number of days it will take to ship it to them, the number of days for them to process it, and the number of days to get me a new set (hopefully!), I'm looking at well over a week without being able to ride my tri bike!!

AND, here's the kicker: I have a race THIS WEEKEND!  I am doing the Boulder Sunrise Duathlon and was really looking forward to it because the bike course is a really fun course to ride on a tri bike!  But, it looks like now I'll have to ride my road bike.  It's not that bad because I love my road bike, but it's just not the same when you're racing.  So, this race will definitely just be a type of brick training day for me.  But, it will still be a lot of fun!
A lot of my TriBella teammates are racing too, so we'll get to meet up and cheer each other on.  I was going to do the sprint, but figured this is pretty much my only chance to do a duathlon, and I've always wanted to do one.  So, I'm pretty excited about it!!  :)

I know A LOT of you are racing this weekend too, so I want to wish you all GOOD LUCK!! :)

One more thing,
If they decide not to send me a new set, I'll be in the market for some new aerobars.  So, are there any aerobars out there that you absolutely love??
