    Lemond said "It never gets easier, you just go faster," and that applies here for sure. I agree that it's amazing to see those stats. The thing is that the guys at the front of a TdF climb aren't suffering any more than I do on a climb (and I suck at it). Their fitness is so high with such low mass, that they "just go faster."

     

    When I first started training with a power meter, I was perplexed the first couple threshold tests I did because I was sure I'd never be able to do another effort like that again. Sure enough, 2 or 3 months later I'd shatter my record, and it felt the same. Crazy stuff.

     

    These shirts are very intriguing as we get to a place where technology can very accurately measure output in cycling and rowing, but has a very tough time with running, soccer, basketball, etc. It would be great for a coach to look at some data and know that some of his basketball players need to stop doing two-a-days because they are overtraining. Gotta figure out how to accurately measure these workouts, then convince everyone that the workouts can be accurately measured. This shirt is a big step in the right direction, far beyond those stupid overblown pedometers everyone is wearing.

    Wait long enough and you find a good association for any bit of quirky trivia... ...in this case from Donovan's weirdest departure...

    When did the Ralph Lauren Polo logo get so big?  It used to be maybe a couple inches tall, now it's comically huge
