V12man Posted October 27, 2014 Share Having a resting HR of 28 must have terminally terrifying for Indurain. Hearing and feeling your heart beat like that every 2-3 seconds with violent force.I think with it thal low I would be waking up every 2 hours to get on a trainer ... be really interesting to see some of the old blood work, doubt a lot of it would be biological passport ready....

scuzzy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Very surprised to see an average training time of 11 hours per week. Always thought that it should be a little more, heck, I though 11 hours should just be weekend riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell in the 10%... calling me a clown? ....don't tell anyone, but during the race I frequently wished I had bigger wheels.... Tankman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted October 28, 2014 Share V12man; you cynic you. Maybe Indurain had a Martian blood passport?Some guys do have some really strange blood work... Reinhold Messner for example... his oxygen dissociation curve looks more like that of a dolphin than a person.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arendoog Posted October 28, 2014 Share Sheesh, that is a phenominal fee! Can not wrap my mind around it.80% of the fee is bragging rights .The sponsors pick up the cost tab .Vermaak is making a packet and we fall for it .Not me , others do !

nox1111 Posted October 28, 2014 Share 80% of the fee is bragging rights .The sponsors pick up the cost tab .Vermaak is making a packet and we fall for it .Not me , others do !So the question is: How do you I sell myself (as mid level mtb rider) to get sponsorhips to do an event like this?!

I FLY Posted October 28, 2014 Share Very surprised to see an average training time of 11 hours per week. Always thought that it should be a little more, heck, I though 11 hours should just be weekend riding. As a middle of the pack rider my preparation was:- 3 hours spinning during the week2 hour road bike ride on Saturday4 hours mtb ride on Sunday. That's all the time I could spare. I did take strain on the initial long stages but your body adapts very quickly. YUMEYA and lesego.2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
