Although they did link to this guy who deadlifted 500lb then ran 1 mile all in under 5 mins which is a weird but amazing accomplishment.

Though someone did have to criticise his pacing…

just over a 225kg deadlift - not a big deal for lifters. back in the day I’d have done that but not sure I’d do that and a mile under 5mins! ex-props can run long, just not quickly.

impressed

Exactly the point, two very different skill sets. Also the run included the deadlift time, so puts his mile at closer to 4.40 which is a very handy time especially for a big lad.

My planned hour run has just turned into 25 minutes :upside_down_face:

I think it’s heading for a twitch hunt - apparently the run is only published in edited segments…:grin:

Ha, that would be typical for ST

Aah but he didn’t also solve a Rubik’s cube, did he? Lightweight😀

Did Koalafish move to the US?

That’s a blast from the past. Koalafish- I remember he was a really strong swimmer who would go off grid for a bit and then come back and smash out 100 X 100m

Just read through to post #10 for the pay off.

Yeah, but he’s still got Lonestar’s cassette!

Whatever it was, it’s been removed from the Interwebs.

ETA - must just be the link. Is that the post with Empfield throwing his toys out?

I love the way it starts with this great deal but only on old TT bikes oh and because they dont have much stock hes narrowed it down to just one model with wider size range. In other words Canyon has unsaleable bikes and its probably not a ST exclusive. Bet there are some big discounts on their site soon

Yeah, don’t know why the link doesn’t work, I’ve checked the address and it’s correct.
