I'm having a problem linking it with my phone. Dan has pictures on the main page from her at Texas.

If she could just improve her run, she'd be a real contender. Her 48:19 swim was 47 seconds faster than ALL the pro men, not to mention 5:18 faster than any other pro woman.

I found it interesting that she didn’t use a rear disc. Flat course, no wind. Why wouldn’t you use it one or at least a cover. It’d give her more free speed than the oversized rear pulley she’s using and cost about as much.

Shes looking for a wheel cover sponsor, obviously.

Good question.
She's one of the nicest people around, I hope she gets that run figured out.

I doubt she paid for the oversized pulleys, she is sponsored. Maybe her wheel sponsor doesn't have disc wheels...

Giving up lots of free speed with such a cramped position.
Re: Lauren Brandon bike position [Fishbum]

She seems more up in the front in the race photo vs the fit one. I might try and rotate forward and down in front for her. Not sure that bike does that, but do it on a fit bike first and see what happens. Might be a candidate for smaller wheels too.

Giving up lots of free speed with such a cramped position.Ivan really is a good fitter and great guy, but he definitely goes for somewhat antiquated 90 degree upper arm to torso angle. Dan E. would like it but generally wind tunnels do not.
Or as Eric Reid would say "moooore reach!"

I'm not a fitter but wouldn't most suggest more reach here???
