Kona's Quickest Article - Ain Alr Juhanson

http://scottusa.com/news/bike/1800

Not sure how many have ran into this guy, but he is one big-tall-tree! I wonder how many try to stay behind him in the swim and bike for drafting :slight_smile:

He is not only tall and fast, he is a super nice guy too
.

He makes that bike look tiny.

Anyone know what size bike he is using? It looks like a pretty small one?

It was a Large (56)…I believe I read that on his site in his Kona report.

I still can’t believe he got zero air time on NBC’s Kona show, iirc.

Wattage or it didn’t happen. :wink:

Well, let’s see…according to the April 2009 issue of Triathlete, page 56:

“Arguably the most powerful man in triathlon, 205-pound Ain-Alar Juhanson churns out 453 watts at threshold intensity.”…

“In 2007 I had a very aero and low position and I scored 322 average watts in Hawaii…”

“In 2008 I changed by position, moving the saddle back and going higher in front. I scored 308 average watts and was the fastest cyclist.”

On page 60, “Testing has revealed that Torbjorn Sinballe churns out a massive 400 watts at lactate threshold intensity.” While on page 53, "Bjorn Anderon’s lactate theshold power is 450 watts.

x2 what Herbert said…Ain-Alar is one of the good guys in the sport
.

x3 on what Herbert and Shawn said – he’s a super cool dude. Just don’t ask him is he’s Russian. And x10 on what everyone else said – he’s a hell of a cyclist. I can’t believe a guy of his size has won Lanzarote twice.
