Pro race chat (Tri)

IM Cairns and Austria both this weekend too.

I saw that Frankfurt has got an insane startlist too. Both Norwegians, Lange, Ditlev, Von Berg, Baekkegard amongst others.

Lionel broken again.

So there are limits?

He probably needs to completely change his whole training regime.

He needs to eat apparently. Chronic underfuelling

So he has had a few stress fractures over the last 18 months and didn’t think his diet moght be a factor. F*ck me, that is one of the first things he should have thought of IMHO. I know it is what some find appealing but he is such an amateur.

It’s the way he researches and is an ‘expert’ on something he knew nothing about until disaster forces his hand.

Yes. Crazy lean recently, got results, but classic case of risk / reward and now paying the price. Always seemed likely tbh.

  1. Relative energy deficiency bad when BF% low, good when high…? :face_with_monocle:

  2. Are they assuming calorie burn reported on devices and BMR estimates are accurate?

  3. Mah-Bella?

Ironman Frankfurt (male only) is taking place today (Sunday). Jonas Schomburg was off the front pushing hard on the bike and his entire aerobar/front-end came loose. A mechanic got it back working again.

A little further on and word from the course was that it’d come off again so he ripped it off and apparently threw it into the bushes/fields.

The setup was deemed dangerous (no shit!) and he’s now retired.

Some of the big names (Lange, Blu, Gustav, Magnus) are all in a group a little further back.
