First off i think Barb is amazing, one of the best placing triathletes (male or female) the we (the US) has got. But whats up with her jiggle legs? I mean it got a lot of attention at Olympic trials, at the Lifetime fitness tri it began to happen and i just watched the '02 World Champs in Cancun and i could see the onset---if she had to run 30 more feet at Cancun she would have lost the ability to control her legs.
Whats going on here---i'd be scared if i were her. Does she have a disease i didnt hear about? If its the heat like ive heard claimed, move to a hotter environment, why have i never seen anyone approach this low of lack of control of their legs. It cant be shes giving it everything shes got---i ve never seen a marathoner do this (ofcourse theres moss, wingnut and sian but thats at the end of an IM, different in my book), or a 10k'er, ive never had it happen to me.
Is it leg strength? Is it electrolytes? Is it mental?
Shes got a new nickname in my book though, jiggle legs.
