Lis and I competed in a great local race this weekend, the Patriot Half in it’s 3rd year. We also did this race 2 years ago. See Lis’ comments – this is a great half to add to your calendar. Once again Lis crushed everyone but a handful of men, and was within 1.5 mins […]
Check out this blog post by Kestrel Brand Manager Steven Harad. He’s recently returned from the A2 with apparently glowing test results in hand. Steve’s been in the biz for a long time, and I know he’s going about designing Kestrel’s new superbike the right way. Taking a cue from Felt and Cervelo, he’s using […]
Have you heard about those new “high tech” Mavic R-Sys wheels? They actually use carbon tubes instead of spokes! Sort of like spokes made from soda straws, only these are smaller and more fragile! And the spokes are in compression, not tension! Now I bet if you haven’t heard of them yet, you are now […]
This is the first of several of these videos, shot at normal 30fps and also 300fps for some super slo-mo – great for gait analysis! So here’s your chance: figure out how Matty can be 6’5″ and run so fast.
Ouch. I went into this knowing it would be a tough day. Since I couldn’t see the course for myself I imagined the worse in hope to be pleasantly surprised during the race. I was surprised, all right! My pre-race prep started with 6 lacrosse games between the 3 kids in 3 different towns in […]
If you like tough races, put this one on your calendar! You don’t hear quotes like this every day: Matty Reed (winner): “The toughest course I’ve ever done… Ridiculously hard!” Joe Gambles (2nd): “The hardest course I’ve ever done” Lisbeth Kenyon: “That was heinously hard – several times when I saw yet another massive hill […]
One thing I hear almost every time I fit someone is, “I can’t believe how much difference small changes make!” It’s true – small tweaks can really improve your comfort and power. Frequently there is a threshold effect, where if you just open your hip angle enough, or your knee angle, things improve dramatically. Take […]
Great TT stage at the Giro today. Levi setting up to be the first American ever to podium in all three grand tours. As I said on Twitter, how was today’s hilly TT different from an uphill TT in the TDF? The Italian fans weren’t spitting on Armstrong! Di Luca can at least temporarily retire […]
I often get asked about what the “best” elbow, forearm, and hand position is. Elbows close together or far apart? Hands high or low? Forearms straight behind hands or angled in? The answer: All of them, and none of them. There is no simple answer. It depends on race goal first – for IM you […]
Check out these pics from the Tour of the Gila (which included a guest appearance from “Team Mellow Johnny’s” aka Astana, Lance , Levi). In this gallery you can see TT positions ranging from the excellent to the “more effort needed”! Remember, this was a 16 mi TT, so no holds should be barred here […]
