Good info. Napa is a stretch but a bunch of us have been thinking about a mini road trip. My first swim session is tomorrow so I'm looking forward to finally understanding exactly how shit my stroke is.
Well, Emma Pooley made the jump in the last couple of years and she hasn't really made much of an impact. And listening to the Ryan Hall TRS interview he spoke about how single sport athletes really can't just jump in and knock it out. I wouldn't expect to see anything from Talansky for a couple of years.
I'm definitely avoiding WTC. I honestly have a hard time wrapping my head around travelling that far to race, so my possible list is really, really short - Auburn, Wildflower, Lake Tahoe or Napa HITS. So it's race something really hard or basically go into therapy to justify travelling to a race. (I'm going Olympic for Wildflower)
The Garmin uses barometric pressure to gauge altitude. I always use the correction feature in Training Peaks if I actually care about the elevation I'm doing because it uses surveyed elevation.
Oakland has super fast swims because they switch the swim starts to go with the ebb tide every year. But then T1 is super long, so your overall time won't be great.
I wish he defined "high fat, low carb" in terms of percentages. And the skinny fat thing sounds way more like insufficient protein and strength training than carb/fat balance. But what do I know?
