Triathlism: an incredibly unserious sport

Best female triathlete on the planet wasn't into sports until her 20s, had a creepy relationship with her sex-offender first coach, and can't really ride a bike. I'm not making any of that up. |

Dumbass, She split with the coach and I don't see where it says she can't ride a bike, other than that as a novice she had to be shown how to clip and unclip from pedals. I mean, of course she can't ride a bike, she's a tri-geek, but no evidence she's worse than the rest. The real problem here is that she gets through the bike ride by humming horrible music (at least she admits it's horrible) and reciting Kipling to herself. Sick. Fredmaster Ben |

I mean, of course she can't ride a bike, she's a tri-geek, but no evidence she's worse than the rest. One of the first things he did was sign her up to do a long-course triathlon in Alpe d'Huez, which takes place on some of the gruelling climbs of the Tour de France. She got a puncture, catapulted over a crash barrier and still managed to win.* Yes, bike racers crash too, but I promise you that if any pros catapult over a crash barrier during a TT, then... 1) I will laugh 2) They will not win that race And also, grading triathletes on the curve of tri bike handling would be emblematic of the soft bigotry of low expectations. I'm principled enough to observe that they're terrible. Mind you, cycling may be the second least serious pro sport around... The real problem here is that she gets through the bike ride by humming horrible music (at least she admits it's horrible) and reciting Kipling to herself. Sick. Fredmaster Ben |

This interview was empirical evidence you're wrong. |

That's a really amazing article, on so many levels. Not a whole lot of humility. |
