Been pretty standard in a lot of trail races these days. I do like the way not giving you something is ‘no extra cost’! :smile:

Typically the quality of Ironman finisher tees has dropped off a cliff over the last few years too. Shite designs also

Thread on ST discussing someone who ran a 60 minute half marathon quickly becomes an argument about whether “shoes” are cheating.

One poster thinks they are not cheating:

“These shoes waste less energy, and arent creating any. That’s not cheating of any kind… yet you’ll have people say we might as well have skates.”

They were doing so well until the very last bit (skates also waste less energy, and aren’t creating any) :see_no_evil:

Without even looking, I’ll say the poster was ‘ Synthetic’ ?

This is pretty interesting/funny. The discussion turned into a debate about ice and how you will die instantly if a race doesn’t have it. (I can’t remember a single race in Oz having ice :man_shrugging: )

Good spot. I rather like this bit:

If you are taking the leap to a European IM, you must know that in full summer you will not have chilled drinks during the bike and during the run and no ice cups. You will see uninterested supporters with chilled super-alcoholics laughing and yelling at you during the marathon, because.

Think it’s the use of the final word because that makes it special.

Don’t forget these gems :smile:

American athletes qualified for WC have already the West to East jet lag to absorb. The full-distance bike with bib belt is bearable, but my goal is to make all American athletes that an event like full-distance Copenhagen must be avoided.

As I am a multiple time IMWC qualifier, I am obviously very skilled at planning and problem solving, in IM and in my life.

Next post he insinuates that Sarah True collapsed at Frankfurt as there was no ice :smile:
