Quality Slowtwitch/IMJ Threads

Gotta give huge props to LCB. My Little One is a huge LCB fan and she’s always asking which races she’s in and watching YT clips, she loves her.

I wrote to Team CB and sent them a pic of her fan, mentioned she was getting a new bike for her birthday on Boxing Day and I got a lovely reply. A few weeks later, a envelope turned up with various pictures and postcards and a lovely hand written birthday message to Little One.

Class act. :+1:

That’s the total opposite to what another forumite said about her :thinking:

I can only speak of my experience, which was brilliant.

LCB is the type of charater required to bring more attention to triathlon, she is an inspiration to younger athletes, and much more exciting, open and social than some other triathletes

…and it’s not like LCB is going to have an admin assistant knocking all this stuff out for her! :+1:

she has a good manager…

I’ll be keeping an eye on this as we talk about W/kg and W/CdA but it makes sense that the two aren’t completely unconnected within the confines of your height & frame.

I was reading that last night. I liked the picture of Schleck with a camelback on his chest to make him more aero!

I haven’t watched the video yet but an interesting discussion with a bit of biff brewing too.

I haven’t looked at ST for ages!

…and don’t XC skiers just dope up to the gun-wails? :thinking:

I have the odd glance but it’s been really dull. There was a time when this place was really quiet and I was reading ST quite a lot but that seems to have reversed since the new forum.
It hasn’t been the same since the cull a couple of years ago. Although some of those guys were d1cks they did generate some of the best discussions and had a lot of knowledge if could filter out the carp. Coggan, Pubes, H2O (waterboy or whatever they called him)

I’ve no doubt Dan doesn’t want to rock the boat; he has a lot of ST ‘partners’, although you’d never know from his subtle kit reviews :joy:

I gave on ST after that thing with the runner they hounded who then committed suicide. I dont mean they necessarily drove the man to it, but I think they contributed and there was almost no self reflection on their part on what they could have done better.

Have you tried a theragun?

With regard to Seiller, I do think a lot of people have read or heard what he’s talking about rather than really looking into what he’s actually saying. ETA what he’s actually saying isn’t really any different to the classic endurance coaches he’s just saying look at actual data that shows Lydiard was right (IMHO).

Was trying to get a rise out of them on FB but didn’t really work

Yeah, and don’t forget the DT SWISS WHEELS :sweat_smile:

That blatant advertorial was the last straw for me and I unfollowed.

that’s pretty grim…what was his heinous crime?

my TT bike training wheels are DT Swiss - they have been bomb proof for 15 years…

cut the course or something equally worth a high profile public flogging. It’s why i don’t like those marathon hunters whatever they are called. If someone cheats they are only cheating themselves generally. so what if some bloke went 3:29 on a marathon and should have done 5 hours
