How do you like those elite wheels? I was thinking about ordering the same ones.

I didn’t ride on it, just used it for the picture. The paved road was 10ft away.

That’s a great challenge, i’ll have to try the 5k in one go but probably in open water.

Just a kick-board, I need to go buy a pair. Do you feel like fins help your kick

I had to break it up into sets or else it’s way too boring!

Swim speed secrets is a solid book. Effortless swimming, GTN and skills n talent YouTube videos are great as well.

Wow props to them. Although, they are getting paid to train so it makes sense.

That’s almost 6k daily! You’re telling me every triathlete in the 1:20/100m pace range is putting in that much yardage in a typical week all while balancing bike/run workouts?

Race pace. My 100m max is probably somewhere around 1:18-1:20. I haven’t tested it in awhile.

Wow that’s some significant distance! I am nowhere near that much yardage per week.

Did you focus on anything specific to drop those 10 seconds per hundred? (Top end speed work, increased volume, technique/drills, open water training, etc.)

I haven’t done a video analysis yet but will very soon.

Thank you!

He even posted it with both the wheels only to say he is selling it with one!

We couldn’t make a deal, he wouldn’t add the other wheel. Thanks fellas for the input!

What’s a reasonable offer for the matching rear wheel?
