Hypershell Seems Like a TERRIBLE Idea

I might be missing something here, but this Hypershell thing seems like a terrible idea. It’s difficult for me to stress how horrible this appears to be. To be clear, I don’t mean that it won’t work. It probably will, at least if you define “work” narrowly, and briefly, enough. It appears to provide lift/press assistance to the upper leg. But there are two huge problems with that. The 1HP (peak) output…

I like big bottles, and I cannot lie…

Trek’s got back… or, sorry, 34oz water bottles for sale on their website. So I know that size shouldn’t matter, but I don’t understand the fascination with tiny water bottles. Dehydration isn’t cool, it impacts performance, and I don’t care about Rule #52. Things that make you slower, are stupid. Putting more water on the bike makes sense on so many levels, unless you have a team car following you to hand…

Garmin Releases Forerunner Epix, er…, 965

If you love the Garmin Forerunner 955 form factor, I’m more of a fēnix guy, but lusted after the AMOLED display on the Epix, or Venu models. The new Forerunner 965 is the thing for you. There are also a bunch of new software features, but those are coming to the 955 (and probably the fēnix/Epix as well) in the next feature drop. Overall, it looks solid, and pretty. I’ve never been…

Garmin fēnix 7, Epix, Tactix, Quatrix, Firmware 11.28 Released

I’ve been running 11.28 and the Alpha/Beta versions leading up to it for a long while. So far it’s been great. Huge change log, mostly bug fixes, but a few notable feature additions as well. Big ones to call out are Jet Lag Adviser (which launched on the Marq), support for Connect IQ 6, and support for Stamina on bike activities. Change Log Added support for Primary Wearable and Primary Training Device…

Moving Towards Optimal Event Nutrition

About a year ago, a friend sent me an article with some really interesting claims around Mathieu van der Poel’s (MVP) race day nutrition plan. I didn’t put any effort into it at the time. Just assumed that it was just another one of those super-human things that MVP can do, that the rest of us can’t. I was wrong. We’ve been fed a lie about endurance fueling.…

Call of a Life Time? 🤦

I feel like someone at Life Time Grand Prix HQ should have done a few searches before naming their marketing fluff, promotional material, YouTube series about their gravel/MTB race thing. I had to go to the second page of Google to find it; you know, where they hide the bodies, and I knew it was there; somewhere. The image above is the first result. I actually, thought that I’d been Rickrolled for…

Tri-curious?

Something has been on my mind a lot lately, and it’s probably time I said it out loud. Some of you have noticed that I’ve been swimming, and it’s not because of my back problems. My family already knows my secret. They found the wet suit back in December. It was awkward, and they were a little confused, but after we talked a little, very supportive, and understanding. Even now, it’s still…
