Well, it IS one of the best commecials for anything, ever !
And I’m with him 100% that draft-legal ITU has largely become a swim - wheel suck - run event. (Bermuda being a bit of an exception with a stiffer bike course, and the 1-off event at Kitzbuhel about 5 or 6 years ago, and maybe Leeds as AB +JB designed the course to reduce the wheel suckers chances, PROVIDING the leadin cyclists are willing to go hard).
THAT CLIF BAR AD!!! Epic.
I remember watching everything I could from Endurance Films & Wes when I first started into triathlon.
He was pretty much the only online triathlon resource I could find along with the TrainingBible.
Great interview, thank you Slowtwitch & Wes.
Good stuff about a good man.
Good stuff. Now if we can get an update interview on Kenny Souza–another from the same era.
Oh FFS, we could have done without plugs for essential oils. Tarnishes an otherwise good bloke and article.

Ahhh bugger off. Dude has earned the right to pimp whatever he wants.
Great interview of a solid guy. Takes me back to college and watching/reading about him and other looking to make the first US team
Like I said good bloke and good article. If it was a plug for real estate I wouldn’t have had a blink, but surely multi level marketing of essential oil shite has no place.
doTERRA on st homepage? that is pretty bad.
I reached out to him as I see that ad over and over again, and I asked him questions - that he answered.
Sorry he works for brands you don’t care for. I for one don’t care.
There are plenty of things I dont care for and would never comment about, but multi level marketing crosses lines. I do not care for pyramid schemes.
And I really liked the rest of everything else as well as his contribution to triathlon.

+1, had good fortune of meeting and chatting with him at Cleveland Tri back in '97. Glad he is doing well.
Good post. This is why we keep coming back to ST.

I mean, I’m kind of with the turd guy on this one… just an awkward way to throw it out there. Great commercial though, had never seen it before…
