“You are experiencing the criminal coverup of a foreign backed fascist hostile takeover of a mafia shakedown of an authoritarian religious slow motion coup. Persuade people to vote for Democracy.”

 
I can't recall the name but desert dude posted about it on the thread that Jordan pulled down due to Matt Dixon and/or Sarah P threatening to sue over the content. And TRS talked about it on a recent poscast. The guy coaches pro cyclists anyways and we all know what that entails....

Great cycling workouts.

Maybe this will be what forces him to take his swim up to the top level. Not saying he is not trying, but he needs to get his swim up at the top level.
I saw three our four times riders just sitting up in the pack because they were catching the rider in front. Lots of drafting.
I guarantee lionel wasn't sitting up.

He can't. He is giving everything he has to his swim. Follow his blog.

His swim at Wiesbaden was really decent. This is as good as he's going to get.

See what I said further up in the thread. Brent McMahon clearly went into a drafting scenario into the zone of the rider in front, but then did not make the pass once in the zone and sat up and slid back "legal"...but once in, he is required to pass. On no coverage have I EVER seen Brent make the pass. He sits in like it is ITU...and I am a Canadian and I should be cheering for him, but I just can't. In any case no way Brent rides as fast as Lionel having to sit up and soft pedal to "avoid drafting".

It'll be interesting here to see if he drops the hammer to try and close the gap on the run at all he probably has a 1:07 or better in him on the right day......or he may just cruise it in from t2.....something tells me that is not the LS way.

So Holly Lawrence is coached by Sean Yates?

Yates seems like a guy who really opposes doping. First entry on Google

Or more likely she is coached by Jon Sharples who founded Train Smart, but I guess that name wouldn't have elicited the controversy you were after.

OK OK, let's get back to the draft kings that Kienle and Drietz pulled to T2. When do any of these other guys arrive in T2 with those guys? Like NEVER?

I suspect he was one of the 10 or so men who were 50 to 100 meters away from the start line when the horn went off. If so that would really put a hurt on any chance of a decent swim. A pure time trial the whole way makes for a tough day compared to all the guys at the front.

Genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.

What a farce. "Non drafting" is such an absurd misnomer.

I think he's made quite the improvement. It just isn't enough right now.

The thing is.... with world championship races, you get a bunch of athletes that are tightly packed together in abilities compared to non world champ races. This causes the bike to be much faster than it would if it wasn't a world champ race. This significantly hurts Lionel in these races.

Ah great point. You are probably right.

I guess we will only find out AFTER the race, who missed the start gun. That would really suck if you were Lionel

Actually I think you are wrong. But okay.

Nearing 10k on the run and and it looks like the mens 1-15 are within 90 sec of each other. #16 is Lionel, 3:30+ back

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:
http://tri-banter.blogspot.com/

This is basically an ITU race or Oly final. Terrible

Through 8K Sanders has the fastest run split going - but barely. Reed, Kienle, Appleton, Clavel only a few seconds per mile slower. Next up for Sanders to catch is McMahon who's having another crater-fest. He either runs a sub-8 IM or craters the run completely - like in pretty much all of his 70.3's lately - and kinda like he did at Kona last year, before recovering later in the run.

Possibly I have been road racing for too long, but you guys really call this drafting? Come on, how much more room do you want? These guys are plenty far apart and that is just part of the racing dynamic. Make the front to swim, if not pay the price. Uber biker? Drop the hammer or they will sit on, to me that is the excitement of race dynamics. Also in reply to the moto: I have done a lot of races with lead cars and the distance they are keeping in this race is giving very little advantage if any.

McMahon out split Sanders on the bike by 3 seconds. Probably on 60-80 less watts!!!!

Go watch something else then if you hate it so much

Possibly you are just not all that intelligent or are just uninformed

Frodo pushed 260 watts at Kona last year. 20 watts fewer than the top amateur. But he didn't get any benefit from the moto

Same with Crowie. Ridiculous.
