Clearly Rinnie is one of the best triathletes the sport has ever seen. But versus the other top women she is giving up 5-20 minutes on the bike in Kona. If she could gain 10 minutes of free speed it would be devastating to the rest of the field. We think she can gain that […]
Here are the first of my annual high-speed cycling videos from Kona. The top male and female pros are shown at about mile 109 on the Queen K. Slo-mo portions are shot at 300 fps.
Goggles are a very small yet extremely important part of your Tri-arsenal. They can turn an otherwise great swim into a zig-zagging, eye burning debacle. I have been searching for goggle nirvana for 20 years, and maybe, just maybe I found it on the Kona pier this am. Tyr’s new “Special Ops” polarized goggle is […]
Another great day at IM USA 2011, with fantastic efforts by all and excellent results for TTBikeFit athletes and Fuel Belt Race Team members. It got pretty hot on the run, but the wind on the bike course was apparently not as brutal as it had been in the days leading up to the race. […]
I am lucky to be able to work with a lot of fast athletes – the pointy end of the age groupers, and some pros. Of course it is gratifying to help them get even faster. What many folks don’t know is that I work with many other kinds of athletes too. And just because […]
Smaller riders can be difficult to fit properly into a good aero position, yet we have achieved good fit results with quite a few riders of smaller stature – those shorter than 5’4″, and especially athletes 5’2″ and under. Aerodynamics are actually quite important for smaller riders, since their absolute power output is relatively small. […]
We just received our first Adamo Time Trial saddles – ISM’s latest offering. So far I have ridden it twice on the trainer, and another teammate is also testing it out. I have been a long-time Adamo Race user, and although all Adamos are excellent, for me I haven’t found one I like better than […]
Yipes I have really been neglecting my blog. But fitting comes first, and another reason I have been too busy to type is the popularity of our Kestrel bikes. If I’m not fitting I am building! For 2011, the 4000 tri/tt bike is latest and greatest, but let’s not forget two of Kestrel’s stalwarts: the […]
Finally got around to finishing my review of Kona Pro bikes – so let’s dive right in. (click on pics for full size images) The Commerz Bank crew were very prominent with their new matching Scott Plasma 3’s done in in matte gray with yellow highlights. These are the same frames used by Pro Tour […]
Yesterday Lis and I visited Coach Al Lyman and Kurt Strecker’s Gait Lab in Old Saybrook, CT. Al has coached Lis to both of her Kona wins and made her a faster runner than ever in her mid 40s. Kurt is also a triathlete and Chiro. Between the two of them you have an incredible […]
