Again, Jordan is a great example of this. Ben Collins is a great example on the swimmer side. The conventional wisdom is that if you already swim and run well, then it just takes time in the saddle to get good on the bike. USA Triathlon takes this approach when recruiting guys for the developmental national team, at least.Chris Tremontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238253339063432588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919960072449134938.post-45533828462108444242010-04-24T16:44:28.822-07:002010-04-24T16:44:28.822-07:00Yeah, I'm looking at finally getting a good bi...Yeah, I'm looking at finally getting a good bike to do some training on; I've got almost no experience on one. I've made such progress in running and swimming in the last 8 months that it would be ridiculous not to go for the full tri. <br /><br />Good luck!Chris de Voshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626338624223859578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919960072449134938.post-15495145391474183402010-04-22T16:20:02.073-07:002010-04-22T16:20:02.073-07:00Those sprints took a lot out of me.

I like to think that I could have made 15x100 on 1:10 if I had been fresh.<br /><br />Rowing translates pretty well to cycling -- Dan Harm in Seattle, Jordan Rapp on thr tri scene ... even I got my "serious athletic" start in rowing, albeit as a coxswain.Chris Tremontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238253339063432588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919960072449134938.post-1496663429031663142010-04-17T13:10:27.767-07:002010-04-17T13:10:27.767-07:00Interesting looking sprint set on Tuesday, stole i...Interesting looking sprint set on Tuesday, stole it for myself yesterday; sprints were comparable, but my hundreds started at 1:15 and ended at 1:20, not 1:10. Looks like I have some catching up to do!Chris de Voshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626338624223859578noreply@blogger.com
