what was the road surface like in NZ. I have heard in the past it was pretty rough. I would think 150 psi would be slower under those conditions(too much vibration). Does anyone remeber when Chris Legh first appeared on the scene? He rode really low and fast. I think there was even some discussion about his Ironman problems that first year('97) I believe being due to his low position and not digesting food and liquids adequately. He had part of his colon removed follwing the race. Lately I have heard that he has had back problems and it seems like his results have suffered. I dont know if he is even racing anymore.
He's still around. I saw him at that half IM in AZ in Nov. He was 2nd to Macca. Also, he's racing IM Oz in a few weeks. I know Bjorn is young, strong and obviously flexible but I wonder what the long term effects of putting in big miles in an extreme position like his are?
