Chris nabs one of the frames we’ve seen under Alberto and Lance – the Speed-Concept with the Kamm airfoil tubes. Recall that the trailing edges are square, yet the wind is “tricked” into “thinking” the tubes have tapered trailing edges. This potentially a good solution to the UCI’s 3:1 cross-section limitation rules. Note that both […]
We worked on Jarrod’s fit with his coach Tim Crowley last Winter and Spring, and today he won ITU Duathlon World Championships after having a great season on the ITU triathlon World Cup circuit. Awesome Sprint Finish – Congrats to Jarrod!!
After I flatted on Sunday at the FirmMan 70.3, I decided to start the run anyway, and maybe complete it. Motivation after losing at least 45 mins on the bike was low, but what the heh. I was running ok for the first 6 miles – not great, just ok, but with my limited training […]
After recently writing about tubulars vs clinchers, and how in 17 years of racing I’ve never flatted a tubular, I had the opportunity to experience first hand how tubulars perform flat yesterday. My rear tire (a fairly new Vittoria Corsa Evo CX) did a pop-psst-psst-psst-psst at mile 10 of the FrimMan 70.3 . I was […]
This is top secret. I can’t talk about it at all. So I’ll write about it! I was contacted this Spring, out of the blue, by the Directeur Sportif of a major European Pro Tour Team. Seems his star athlete was having some major TT fit issues, and he hoped I could help them. Of […]
This is one of those debates that never dies. I use tubulars. Not because I think they are better, but because until recently I was using a HED Cx front wheel that was probably bought in 1993. Back then there was no debate – all race wheels ran tubulars. So when I upgraded my rear […]
So I just received an email from an old college buddy – one of those fairly funny “random thoughts” emails, and one of them was: “As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation I always hate cyclists.” Not so funny, but pretty […]
All this wasted energy directed at “America’s Obesity Crisis”. Most kids are FAT – that is clear. Yet, despite what the media and any number of shady weight-loss hucksters (which is all of them IMO) might have us believe, there is no mystery as to how to solve the problem. Most adults are even FATTER. […]
Cramping is one of those problems that can be very frustrating, and possible solutions are many. I have been subject to debilitating cramping in races from International distance on up, and on long training sessions for my entire tri career. For me it was always a matter of when not if, and how bad. Add […]
Tried out my bud’s Endless Pool this weekend, and I really liked it! Swimming is pretty darn mind-numbing anyway, so as opposed to biking or running, swimming in place is no big deal. With the mirror on the bottom it’s a great self-coaching tool, and obviously it’s easy to have someone shoot videos and get […]
