18 people qualify for each event per age group - I think.

There were 18 people in the 60-64 age group at Duathlon Nationals last year.

Pretty good odds on qualifying. Finish the race and you are in....

Amazing reply. Impressed that you took the time to reply so eloquently!!

I finish the odd session so wrecked that I can't tie my shoe laces. I'm not sure which is a more bizarre concept... Not refueling and comprising the adaption and recovery that the session sought OR... Running @7:30 pace 'running bike studs down' and boasting about it.
Strange stuff. I doubt there are many on here who are strong and lean enough to need to go to such extremes to lose more weight without being able to clean up elsewhere.
I suspect if there are they could probably cover a 10k faster on their knees already.

When I read this my first response was "why is he ridiculing me?"
I thought you were being sarcastic. Not sure why. I must just expect conflict on here!

Anyway, assuming you actually meant it - Thank you!

7:30 run pace is pretty slow

Yeah I'm fatter than ever and I always exercise on an empty stomach. The problem is I never go to bed on an empty stomach.

And couldn't this be the case for those that are faster on the bike and slower on the run?

"I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, and I don't know why!"

Yep, and compared to swimming also.

But why brag about a bike time if your swim and run suck in sport that needs the fastest of all three to the finish line.

Now for the DU this weekend, it will be the fastest of the two, so I still am screwed.

But for an Aquathlon, at least it has my two best legs. :)

And likewise, why brag about a run time if your swim and/or bike suck? A huge percentage of people I beat have faster (sometimes way faster) run splits than I do, but if I have a large enough gap coming off the bike, there's a chance I can beat them...

"I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, and I don't know why!"

I really only like to talk about finish times, everything else means nothing. Go for it, what are your finishing times, USAT rankings? Number of times All American?

Wow... Ask a simple question about why emphasizing bike over run splits isn't just as valid as your run over bike splits approach, and I get this. No wonder so many people think you are, to quote a post a page or two back, "a complete jackass". For someone who keeps saying "I am just out there having fun for myself" and that you're not really competing against others, you sure seem to need to constantly prove something.

Due to health issues, I haven't been able to actually train, let alone race, for quite some time. So no USAT standings for the last few years. In the 3 decades prior to that, I had a few dozen podium appearances, a few top 5/10/20 overall finishes, and even qualified for Team USA and Du World's, but declined. All of my age group wins over the years were achieved by having the fastest bike split, and often a significantly slower run split, than everyone else on the podium. But hey, all that and $4 will get me a latte at Starbucks. And that's about all your finishing times, USAT rankings, and number of times All American are worth, as well...

Moving this discussion back to body composition and away from Dave's pride, I gotta acknowledge this haha. Because me too. I'm at like 184lbs and my mornings through about 7pm are perfect 7% body fat lifestyle. I should just go to bed at 7 and save myself to be honest

Number of people ran significantly slower than you this past weekend, yet beat you because of the swim and the bike. The swim and bike matter, it's not a 10k.

It's kind of sad reading how worked up he gets. One tends to notice that the people who are truly fast don't make those kinds of comments.

And what are their ages?

You know it is quite an honor at my age to have folks compare me to such younger folks and ask why they beat me. I ask why they are so slow, meaning the top guy only beat me, and old 60 year guy, by 6 minutes. And why did this old guy have again the fastest run time. Why are the young folks so slow?

A 40:36 for a 10K on a hilly, dirt course is not too bad for an old guy, especially when I out ran the field. Yep, the wind on the bike with my disc and 808 killed me.

So you and others can brag about your bike times. I can brag about my run times. And I can brag about my finish times, especially compared to folks around my age. :)

We shall see how bad I get my butt kicked at bend in 2 days. But, I wonder how many are tough enough to try 3 races in 24 hours. That is what motivates me.

Or maybe get attacks for any post I make.

Always fun to see the same snowflake bullies post when I do. Just so neat to be so special with them that they cannot just take their eyes away.

I sure do not go to threads and post just looking to fight with folks, but I guess that is just me.

"This might be a difference. IMO, I never do intense workouts in training. I save these for races, where yep, I pig out right when I am done."

19 minutes later...

"Yep, clearly my bike sucked last season. I guess you would not care that I had sciatica starting in Late Dec. all the way past June. So with the limited intense training I could do, I was very very happy I was able to race at all."

Well...which is it Dave?

No....you don't only talk about finish times.

And......Mark Evans is 57, he beat you with a slower run time.

Give it a break, you come off like a total douche.

Tough to race where i do my intensity when i could not walk when i got out of the car for the race .

I remember my first dus of the season. I could not get into the aerobars i hurt so bad. Then when i got of the bike i could mot move.

Actually, I think the word is used to identify yourself as an internet douchebag to everyone else so in that respect he's using it pretty effectively.
