The CHO debate does not die in journals. It dies every day in real competition.

One thing that is often forgotten is that sports science frequently validates what practitioners have already been doing successfully in the field for years. The laboratory is essential, but it is not always where innovation begins.

~20 years ago, when I was recommending and using 80-100 g/h of carbohydrate with elite athletes, many in the Carb camp, considered it crazy, unrealistic and impossible... Yet it worked remarkably well in practice. The athletes did not care about the debate. They cared about performance.

~10years ago, I began using protocols approaching 125 g/h. This time I kept quiet. I knew it provided a significant competitive advantage and I had no interest in debating it publicly. In 2021, UAE and Tadej Pogačar helped demonstrate to the world what many of us had already seen firsthand: higher carbohydrate intakes could transform performance when implemented correctly.

Now, after more than a decade of practical application, these strategies are being presented as a major scientific breakthrough because they have finally appeared in the literature.

This is not an argument against science. Quite the opposite. Science is a process. It evolves. Even within the carbohydrate camp, recommendations have changed dramatically over the last two decades because the original understanding was incomplete.

The lesson is simple: evidence comes from both the laboratory and the battlefield. The best advances in sport happen when science and practice inform each other, not when one dismisses the other.

Sometimes the peloton is already living in the future while the journals are still trying to describe the past.

@SahilBloom @BStulberg How about relentless, ruthless or ferocious consistency. Violent has too many negative associations that takes away from your point including physical harm, anger, destruction, aggression, and loss of control.

"All I've done for 16 years is deploy Palantir's software. That's literally all I've done. What I've seen in the last 6 months feels alien to me. It's a completely different paradigm with how customers are using our product."

I sat down with Global Head of Commercial at Palantir, Ted Mabrey, to discuss the change in how he's seeing customers engage, adopt, and build on Palantir's software.

In a world in which software is not only changing but being questioned for the very existence of it's value proposition, Ted has a counter-narrative to how software is being used with Palantir customers and why the past few months have seen a step-change in the level of usecases, impact, and overall momentum customers have seen because of implementing Palantir.

Thank you to Ted @MabreyTed for taking the time!

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@wyshynski A Mickey Mouse league. Parros needs to go and Bettman needs to step in and levy a suspension greater than 5 games- for the good of the game.

@DarrenDreger @Harjas_Grewal Not sure why this is such an issue for you, Darren. You speculate regularly based on sourced info. This is a medical opinion grounded in video of the mechanism of injury to suggest a likely diagnosis. No doctor-patient relationship exists just analysis many fans are interested in
