Understood. I hesitated to post it on this thread, but fishburn was asking. It is a work around with various mangled body parts from a few substantial accidents and associated head injuries and post concussion symptoms that kick in if things are weighed the wrong way even for short durations. Even something as simple as wearing an aero helmet with ear flaps would give me a headache for a week.

To David's point, it is hard to compare 50 year old athlete positions to 30 year old ones, just like it is hard to compare 50 year old run times to 30 year old ones due to the numerous biomechanical limitations that accumulate over time. A few 50-70 year olds run really well and a few (Joe Boness and a few others) have sustained very good positions with no cervical or lumbar impingements. Th picture was taken was just 2 years after getting evacuated off an IM course in Switzerland with a long recovery during which I had to do simple things like re learn to walk then jog, then cycle due to several nervous system complications. Luckily the engine was good to go when I got most of that working again. At that point there were several work arounds with the big slam.

If I have the pics from 1995, it's pretty well the same as Boardman from that era.
