This guy Kimmage, a reporter for the Sunday Times, doesn’t deserve to be on the same planet as Lance, much less to criticize him in any way. He apparently made the lovely comment that Lance returning to cycling is like cancer returning after four years of remission. Somehow I think Karma will take care of […]
We were all really happy with our recent swim clinic. We packed a TON of teaching, drilling, and video feedback into 5.5 hrs and could have spent another 5. The problem is, when you get Al and I together you have two guys who have spent decades studying swim technique and trying to improve themselves […]
Olympian Jarrod Shoemaker and his coach Tim Crowley stopped by for a followup visit before Jarrod embarks on a new season. The results since his initial fit have been great: Tim subjected him to 10 days of big mileage on the bike, and Jarrod reports that he felt much better than he usually does. To […]
We are sorry to report that our Feb. 8 swim clinic in Mystic, CT is now FULL – but don’t worry, we will be offering additional dates and venues soon. We want to keep our class sizes manageable so that everyone receives enough personal attention and gets maximal bang-for-their-buck. If you are potentially interested in […]
We are very excited to begin offering our cutting-edge “Swim Easier, Swim Faster” triathlon swim clinics! We’ve partnered with Coach Al Lyman to create a team-based teaching paradigm. We employ our proprietary “I-PUMA” (Instant Poolside Underwater Motion Analysis) to give students immediate, repetitive slo-mo feedback on their strokes, both above and underwater! We think this […]
I have written two other posts on the P4 – both from Kona. The initial post questioned whether it was worth the price upgrade from a P3- at first glance it looks like a P3 with a few tweaks. Then I talked with Cervelo’s Phil White and he set me straight. Last night I attended […]
The gauntlet has been thrown down! Lance confirms in an Ouside Magazine interview that he plans to race Kona as soon as his cycling comeback is over. Lance says: “I can unequivocally say yes to that. That’s a fact. And I get asked that question every day. I don’t know when it was, less than […]
Dan Empfield is certainly one of the pioneers of tri bike design and fitting. He recently wrote a lengthy article (lengthy for the internet anyway) comparing apple pie baking and bike fitting. As strange as the subject matter sounds, I think the article is quite good, but I would like to summarize my view of […]
Jarrod stopped by last week in the hopes we could iron out some bike discomfort issues. You can read the whole story here on XTRI.com!
I recently had the opportunity to help Coach Al Lyman conduct a swim clinic for a great group of elite triathletes – including some fantastic swimmers. Attending were 2-time Kona top-ten finisher and former champion backstroker at Stanford Dede Griesbauer, 2008 Olympic Triathlete Jarrod Shoemaker, 2-time (and current) under-23 US champion and former U Michigan […]
