Standing on a beach with 1600 other people staring out to the end of a jetty, I had to wonder….. What encouraged 1599 other people to want to do this? 3.8km swim, 180 ride, 42.2 run. I didnt ask anyone else, we all had our reasons. Mine was to understand Ironman, first hand. I had...

Its 7 days today since my first Tri, and my body is letting me know I was right. Ironman deserves respect for its magnitude as a physical effort. Training to do an Ironman deserves to be very difficult. Undertraining and still doing the event is very foolish. Bussleton is quite easily the hardest event I...

There are plenty of rules surrounding bikes and what is popular convention. Personally, I think I hate the rule that says you need you stem “slammed” at all costs. Slammed: stems bottom edge directly in contact with the lowest possible point on the fork steerer. No spacers. The rationale for many is that this is...

Today is Tuesday. Bussleton Ironman is THIS WEEKEND. I’m looking in the mirror, and I don’t like what I see. I see a body under-trained. 20 times a day fo rthe last 2 weeks I have thought about 3.8k swim (If i can swim straight), 180km bike, and 42 point 2 kilometers on my feet....

Mrs Skeleton in the video below demonstrates the change within the pelvis (concentrating of the difference in femur head placement) during the forward bend of the torso using correct technique. Sadly most...

Ask anyone who has gone to see a serious Bike-Fitter, and they will probably will often say: They wanted me to change my saddle. I almost re-financed the house to pay for it. And honestly, there’s every chance they are talking about me. If you don’t want to change, that’s ok. But I will do...

In my initial line of question apon acquainting myself with a new client, I ask a pretty open question. “To consider today a success, what would we achieve or what issue would we solve?” Particularly in the more race orientated clients, the responses regurgitate the slogans and cliche’s the bike industry has made famous. More...

Probably the most asked question, when somebody realises what I do for a living: What “system” do you use? Its not the pitching point I would prefer to bringing people through my door. I believe that all the best fitters in the world do more based on experience than what is taught or suggested by...
