Thought about this. I’ve left IMJUK, I’m not gaining anything from it.

I simply don’t get it. He has just posted 2 “recent” zwift rides on IMJ… except one is dated Jan 2020 and the other Oct 2019. Who is this joker, what is his point? Troll?

Saw this thread today: BQ and not KQ: Triathlon Forum: Slowtwitch Forums
Followed up at the bottom of the first page by:
I’m scratching my head trying to understand what’s the point of the question?

It’s like one of those aptitude tests.
If Molly was not in the kitchen when Richard broke the window, then Charlie was playing cricket with Angela’s handbag, which contained toast only if Richard and Molly were in the kitchen. Could Richard have made the toast?
Edit: maybe I’m a bad person but have replied to the thread

Just catching up on this thread…three observations to make…
Firstly, that for years i wouldn’t coach a 16 weeks to IM ‘athlete’ as i felt it was unethical…however, a chap that i considered to be a weak swimmer (even worse that mine @Hammerer ) i turned down his request for coaching and, iirc correctly, he swam 68 mins at IM Wales a couple of months later. I then coached him and a year later he swam the channel as part of A2A - what a great work ethic that lad had.
I therefore coached a female athlete from zero to IM copenhagen “as an experiment” and she just made the cut offs. it was a very challenging but rewarding experience for us both…
I did Hever without training as part of my research (2 years of no training, bar 2 x 2k o/w swims to ensure i wouldn’t be a liability to the organiser) and fek me it was hard…

Richard did not make the toast, because he is keto

I fit that bill - qualified for Boston relatively easily, run plenty of marathons - have done more than one IM, but I’m way way way… way way way, way off IMWC. Presumably a totally different level of athleticism surely?.. although … I dunno 
Maybe a few more bike hours… ha who am I kidding lol

Hmm. If a BQ is about 3:15 in my AG. Translate that as 3:35 run leg and I would’ve KQd at Texas this year. A chap I know who is a touch slower on swim than me maybe the same on bike KQd with a 3h38 run last weekend.
So for me they are both as hard to achieve/unlikely to happen.

When you give in and reply, can you also ask about liposuction and the recovery period required before racing?

Expert A :- "As a snack instead of a banana (105 cal, 27 carbs) go with low cal unsweet vanilla almond milk and one serving of vanilla protein powder (170 cal, 4 carbs, 25g protein). "
