If it weren't for this thread, I would never have had any idea about the elliptical or the use of IV fluid replenishment while on the trainer. I think what the other thread's done is allowed people to be misinformed about what the IC is doing and how he's doing it. I never understood why we needed the other thread in the first place, and I think it's silly to tell people what they can and can't post there. If people want to know where the IC is or where he's going next, they can just check his website or Facebook.Because there are people that want to follow the guy's progress, and there are people don't understand the people that want to follow him (Dave, stephenj, etc). There don't need to be two threads full of people savaging him. I don't need to hear about Dave Luscan's amazing coaching and athletic accomplishments or his desire to troll for the sake of trolling in two threads. I can get lots of that here.
I'm aware of the IV replenishment, the elliptical, the drafting, etc. They make the accomplishment less valuable than a theoretical someone that does a true 50/50/50 outdoor, but simply doing the exercise to the degree he is is still an accomplishment, and I'm interested in the story of how he does going forward. He also seems like a nice guy and seems to be doing a good thing, and it's not like he's hiding the things he's doing to keep going. As long as the charity donations go to the charity, he isn't hurting anyone, and it's a fun story to follow. To some extent, it's a little triathlon-related soap opera: Will he recover from the toe and hip? Will he have to ride indoors for the next month? Will he stop tomorrow?
