Sub 32…

There are some excellent age group runners in tri but not too many troubling 5:20 miles for 10 k?!

Does he mean stand-alone or in a tri?

There’s no seriousness in that whole thread apart from one poor fool who attempts it. Then women get involved. Well it ends on a high/low note - pretty sure the last post is a hate crime these days.

:joy:

Lionel Sanders–We are blessed to have him in Triathlon: Triathlon Forum: Slowtwitch Forums
Is this peak ST?
A thread for no other reason than a Lionel love-in which very quickly gets into bullets being fired!

Probably for the rant thread but two words I hate in that article. Blessed and privileged.

We’re not blessed by some higher power to have some chap doing triathlon. Its not a privilege to see him race, you just turn up to where he is racing.

I saw some bollocks on LinkedIn the other day that said “Leadership is a privilege”. No its not, its a job.

Meh, they’re all “you are either with us or you are against us” over in the US.

it can also be a complete and utter pain in the arse having to babysit those under your leadership.

“what do you want to with your career?”
“I wanna be a manager”.
“you absolutely sure about that??”

I resent that. I do a lot more than 10-15mins work a week as upper management. Probably at least 45.

As long as most of that extra 30mins is claiming expenses, all good. :+1:t2:

Quite enjoying watching this one. Man is an absolute machine!

After so may of the fake/gamed efforts shame he’s not getting more credit. But I suspect he’s happy just to be out doing it and couldn’t care less about the publicity.

Yeah I gave him a little nod earlier today.

As well as being amazing, his sleep and nutrition is interesting. I think it at least challenges the notion of continuous sleep being best.

I quite often read this forum, but I’ve never joined or posted before - haven’t seen any women here yet. So I’ll stay on the sidelines!! just wanted to say…

Rait is an absolute machine and thanks for linking the thread. I think it’s a shame he’s not getting more credit too, which is why I started the thread in the first place to show more people what a real effort looks like.

Hello Anna, nice to see you here! I haven’t been to the Ultra site for a while.

Welcome on board. I might need your help with some German spam :laughing:
