[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

Gotta work on your flexibility, Nick, you're just hemorrhaging speed with your chest up in the wind like that. You can make some progress in the coming weeks with some off the bike mobility work.

[@TheDomLouis]

Agreed! Not seen so many extension stems on an aero bar before. There doesn't seem to be a massive difference between his aero position and his being on the hoods position. High CDA 😔 Also if they are still targeting sub 10 overall, he'll need to push out more than his current 2w/kg to get his speed up around 25-30mph.

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

@@TheDomLouis yeah, I don't want to be the wet blanket here, but I'm not seeing sub 10 in 5 weeks, I think the cancellation and forced shift to a half was probably the best thing that could have happened to him giving more time toward this goal. Eventually, he probably could, but he's averaging 20 MPH on the bike at his race pace. It's not impossible, he could maybe squeak it out but he would have had to have executed a PERFECT race with an impeccably practiced transition. His swim would likely be average, around 1:15. His bike would need to be at 5:15 (which I'm not sold on) wind on the day will be HUGE with that rough of a position. I'm guessing he's closer to 5:30. I don't see a sub 4 marathon for him. If by some miracle he can manage his energy and fuel perfectly... Maybe... And this is a BIG maybe... 3:45 and I only say that because the run is clearly his best discipline and he has years of endurance built up under his more recent speed development. I'm pegging him around 11 hours with current state fitness. 10:45 would be an impressive achievement. For the half, I think he might pull a 5-5:15 which would be an indication that hes not there yet for the full 35 minute swim (with little chop) 2:45 bike (again wind could be a big factor here) and I think a 2 hour half, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him hit 1:45 given he's been training for the full, his endurance will be more than adequate to be more aggressive with his pace. I want him to do well, I think his influence on his viewers is a net good thing, but he has a tendency to bite off more than he can chew and hope to be able to chew it later. While that's admirable, when it comes to tri, age groupers who have much more endurance experience and training than he does take YEARS to go sub 10. He's not so supremely talented in endurance sport that hes going to nail that time as a walk on. I've said since last year, if he wants to get serious about a solid IM time, he NEEDS to drop mass! He should be racing at 175-180 TOPS. And on his frame, that's not anywhere near an unhealthy BMI. His position would be better, his WKG is almost guaranteed to go up, even if he drops 20 watts off his FTP (which given his novice status is not likely to happen, it will probably go up) and his run and swim times will only benefit. I'm not sure he's willing to take that step. He might after being humbled by not reaching the goal in the short term, but hey, you never know. If I'm wrong, I'm more than willing to eat crow when the time comes.

[@eonzi]

The guy is a human beast, he does it all. Lift, run, swim, cycle, own a business... And you gonna come here and tell him his flexibility sucks? Haha I know you are coming from a good place but give him a break...

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

@@eonzi the guy has a goal of doing sub 10. He doesn't want a break.

[@TheDomLouis]

@@EverythingIsPhotogenic Excellent and accurate accessment, based on what we've seen so far. I don't think he wants to lose mass, as that's part of his USP. I don't think he's brave enough to lose mass, as it may affect sales of his products. Lean endurance athlete doesn't sell as well as beef cake 🙂.

[@EricBurns1970]

Love your content. A better set up for mock tri is Lake Pflugerville. You can literally go from the water to a mock T1 and off on the bike, then back for T2 and run. Way more realistic that swimming in the sheltered Quarry Lake (I have swum there plenty for practice), Lake P will have wind and waves, unlike Quarry. Lake P is out in the sticks not like the busy 183/Braker where it's not ideal to start a long consistent (too much stop and go ride), you have county roads with no traffic to ride and run.

[@TheNicolls]

That lake makes me so jealous 😂 it looks stunning! Also relate. Open water is superior to pool swimming

[@xrz100]

Hello Nick, there is a lot of imporvement in the swim, without any orientation on the ground you start overreaching left and right, and therefore you do not swim straight but you have to correct your steering evertime you look up for the boey. The efficiency pull forward ration is not efficient, your legs are to far under the water even with you wetsuit. You needs longer straigher pulls and more power in your legs thus they reamin closer to the surface. But Fortunatly swimming is just the first 40 min. Much better position on the bike, still to low, as you start moving your upper boddy left/right, which consumes oxigen and you are not riding straight (more milage). But overall I conclude that you are well prepared for this race. Stay healthy and continue prepping

[@joselozano7475]

Cool video! Just one tip, work on your TT position. You could really get some free speed

[@zwtvchannel]

He may as well ride his roadie.. Really needs to sort that TT position.

[@TheDomLouis]

TT and needs to increase the wattage. Based on his current numbers he's only pushing out 2w/kg while hitting 20mpg. He needs to get up around 25-30mpg for 4-5 hours, if his goal is still sub 10 hours finish. So he needs to get that w/kg up to 3+w/kg

[@zwtvchannel]

@@TheDomLouis from his recent content I think he is at 3w/kg.. He needs to be at least 4w/kg to ride under 5hrs.

[@TheDomLouis]

@@zwtvchannel With all that muscle bulk I thought he'd weigh around 100kg. And in this video 14:12 he averaged just over 200w for the 61miles. That's where my w/kg calculations came from.

[@severingeier8184]

sick Intro edit!! Cheers

[@Simon-gx1wf]

75 cadence seems a little low 🤔 it does feel more confortable than 100 without resistance (wich I can’t freaking do), but wouldn’t it be better to be at least at 80-85+?

[@Dennis-de1ji]

I would Argue that you should also Consume no calories during some longer sessions. In the endurance sports you are going to hit "the Wall". The point that your are utilising fat for energy because you've run out of carbs! So it's best to acclimate to this state if fat burning.

Hi Nick - I enjoy your content. I’ve been a triathlete for several years and always appreciate learning new things. I’m sure you are dialed in on bike fitting but just a comment on your fit. It looks like your seat is too low causing your upper body to catch wind and also loss of potential power due to your hip angle. Having said all that I’ve suffered from lower back issues for a long time and as a result keep my seat about 1 mm lower than it could go to take pressure off my lower back. Thank you and keep up the great work!!

good luck the triathlon - im not sure whether its the fact you have a lot of muscle in your upper body but you are about as aero as a wardrobe. You can take chunks of time off by sorting your position out - you need to be more stretched out. i realise you are around 90kg and fairly big hole to punch through the air but sure easily 1 mph gain from an improved position on the bike. Im 74 kg and just went out for a chilled ride on road bike and averaged 20mph for 206 watts - 19.7mph / 750 ft elevation gain/loss

[@AlexSanchez-op8jb]

Only one words describes Nick! Machine

[@enricopiumatti7918]

Hi Nick! 75 rpm cadence is too low on flat street! It should be close to 85-90 rpm! This allow you to save the legs for the running session. Trust me! Great training man! 👍😊

[@willwhite1987]

I would disagree. He needs to hold low power numbers for a long time, and be very stable. This combined with his heavy and strong legs and thighs means a low cadence may suit him best, especially if he hasn't ridden much in his life before. His coaches are obviously aware of all this and certainly advise him better than us with more info than we have. Of course YMMV, so if you're a cyclist that needs to quickly adapt to power surges, and push out way more power, in general a greater cadence would certainly be better for you, especially if you're less strong.

[@enricopiumatti7918]

@@willwhite1987 It can be an explanation concerning Nick's body mass and calories consumption! Fore sure from cycling experience, low cadence generally is not recommended. I'm agree with you, His coach can better than us, follows Nick and supply the best training info 😊
