mikkelz Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 TL;DR.Good for recovery.Placebo during exercise. But if you don't buy it, how can you ever be cool as this? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fxUlXqq8KYs/Tfgl5YOboxI/AAAAAAAAAFg/2DIY4KLCvYw/s1600/wf_bike.jpg WTF foot/pedal thing is that?
shaper Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 What's with her drive side foot out of the shoe?Pic taken as she is probably exiting the transition from swim to bike, shoes are clipped into pedals and you start cycling with feet on shoes, then slip foot in whilst on the move, saves time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0LeZ0lBRtM
Guest notmyname Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Pic taken as she is probably exiting the transition from swim to bike, shoes are clipped into pedals and you start cycling with feet on shoes, then slip foot in whilst on the move, saves time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0LeZ0lBRtMOkay makes sense. Thanks shaper.
Fat Boab Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Not a transition thing at all. Dancing pumps, for dancing on the pedals....
bikebloke Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Pic taken as she is probably exiting the transition from swim to bike, shoes are clipped into pedals and you start cycling with feet on shoes, then slip foot in whilst on the move, saves time so she stopped to put on arm warmers and compression socks after swimming BUT not her shoes tri is a very weird sport

Patchelicious Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 More likely had them already on under the wetsuit she would have swum in..... take wetsuit off, helmet on and grab bike and exit transitionMight as well swim with the helmet and shoes on too then, could shave a few secs off the transition! Triathlons are won or lost in the transition!! Almost as big a decider as compressions!
Patchelicious Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 If you believe it works, then it works...Like beetroot and AIDS?
Grebel Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 More likely had them already on under the wetsuit she would have swum in..... take wetsuit off, helmet on and grab bike and exit transitionOr..... that wetsuit slides off lycra easier than her skin....? Could be worth a second or two...

Almost as big a decider as compressions!Ja, my slow transition times is the only reason I didn't win Ironman this year....ok maybe I should have swum, biked and ran a bit quicker as well.
CAAD4 Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Soccer is for drama queens. If you have to, buy cheap Maxed soccer socks from Monsieur Price' two sizes smaller than usual. If your lips start going blue, they are just right. Sorry have to dash, my Vitamin water and cauliflower pancake are waiting...
Brickleberry Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Hey if oaks are willing to look that stupid for the sake of a performance enhancing sock, then be my guest. I'm often amazed at the things people will spend money on and then swear it works , cos they don't want to admit they wasted cash.

I'm often amazed at the things people will spend money on and then swear it works , cos they don't want to admit they wasted cash.IMHO, we already look stupid enough in cycling kit. I struggle to believe anyone who tells me they feel comfortable walking into the grocery shop in their kit. Riding with or without long socks isn't really going to improve or reduce the look by itself.
