4 1/2 sub hour 40k's preceded by a 2.4 mile swim, and followed by a marthon is something only an extremely small percetnage of the planet could ever do, even if they set on a trainer till the cows came home.
Dude, this guy is 2nd in the WORLD in ironman triathlon. I don't think we're even dreaming to get near his speed.
But riding my trainer more to get a little faster, that I can do.
