macca's revised position
Quote | Reply
given the extended thread some time ago about macca's wind tunnel experiences and so on, do you think his position had changed in the real world?

there's a couple of threads going on about this....

Macca did switch to the airfoil with s-bends from the Talon SL.

I thought he inked a big deal with Under Armour, what's the deal with the ORCA outfit?

Now THAT's weird! He also raced with an Orca tri-suit in Calif 70.3 but was wearing UA stuff as casual clothing!

He realized probably 1 or 2 hours into his first ride in his new position that it sucked, and that the wind tunnel is a fantasy world that has little to do with real world results.

Not sure if this is the right answer, but it's not that uncommon for athetes to have sponsorship deals for technical/race clothing and casual before/after race clothing. Perhaps this is the case here. Orca makes great race gear and training gear. However, to my knowledge they do not make any casul clothing - unless you want to hang out in a tri racing top and shorts all day long( which strangely many age-group athletes like to do). UnderArmour, I know is trying to bill itself as a technical apparel company, but in the run/bike/tri markets they really don't have that big a following, so perhaps they are just trying to get a bit of exposure.

It could be that UA just hasn't finalized their tri stuff yet. Its a new line for them, and probably needs work.

I saw some "fancy" UA running stuff last week. Surprised the hell out of me. Appeared to be nice quality.

Surprised Champion got caught with their pants down on this one.
