Yeh we don’t use it for that at all over here. I guess it’s the same as a few other words you guys use that are very offensive over here.
Take fanny for example.
Either way sorry if i offended
What type of a stupid thread is this. Wurf got spanked by anywhere from 12 to 17 minutes on the RUN by guys he needs to beat. His clothing has exactly ZERO to do with that part. I am a fan of Wurf, but this entire thread is ridiculous. We're arguing about Wurf's clothing rather than talking about a stellar superbly paced break out race with a 2:48 run by Kyle Buckingham and he's the same weight as Wurf, so it just shows what is possible. The clothing is an ST diversion about GEAR that you guys are fixating on relative to the marketing fluff of buying free speed. The real story is that the humans inside the clothing and on top of the bikes did....NOT THE STUPID GEAR!!!!!
SORRY FOR SHOUTING, but sometimes I really have to shake my head at this place. No one remembers what bike Faris road when he won Kona 2005. We all remember that Faris won (guess his kit, as almost everyone will remember THAT KIT vs any other clothing since then)
Cannondale if I am correct. Not googling it until after I post!
Although your points are correct...the thread was about the gear to start. If it was about the run and then turned to gear then turned to Lionel...then maybe you should be shouting! ;) Just my two cents.

Well this thread is stupid in that we're arguing semantics of Wurf's clothing choice when his biggest problem was giving away 12-17 minutes on the run to his rivals. At the end of the day, he lost the win by 7 minutes. That was not a clothing choice. This being ST I know you guys are going to debate if the 2 and 4 min to 2nd and rd was the suit. But maybe the bigger problem was overbiking. A well paced bike and that suit maybe gets him at least 2nd.
I would be curious to know Wurf's flat out 10K and 5K times. In fairness to his bike pacing if he's not a 34 min 10K runner, or 16:30 5K guy, it's hard for him to be an open 2:40 runner which would equate to a low 3:0x IM marathon (marathon plus 20 min)
It's hard to know exactly what Tim Kerrison brings from a tri standpoint - obviously Dan Lorang has had success both bike racing and triathlon but from listening to Cam on podcasts - he rides with the Sky boys and gets off and runs a 1:17 half marathon and ran a 2:57 marathon in training etc...jumps in the pool. I know it's got to be more thought out than that but at this point, it's hard to get a grasp on what they are doing other than keeping him good and solid on the bike. I thought he looked pretty good running (good coverage - we saw lots of it) and he's light years ahead of Talansky's run at O'side at this point (granted, a couple years in). We will find out soon how the 6-8 IM's a year works out for him.
Careful with the "you guys" comments - I wasn't debating that at all ;)
