@SamueleMarcora Such sad news. Louis was always great in extending his time to me over the past several years. Really enjoyed our discussions. An amazing man who will be dearly missed. RIP Louis.

Ironman promised me that if this tweet gets 100 retweets or 1000 likes, they will not cancel or shorten the swim at St. George.

@jonahaug @jamiegiven How do you define sprint & W’ as high, low or normal relative to CP? Any specific percentage of CP you look for and that would help define this for you?

[Alan Couzens @Alan_Couzens]

Same! 😊

Perhaps they can propose one bottom bracket standard for bicycles as well.

Group exercise classes (Peloton, Soul cycle, orange theory) tend to have the everyday person train too hard.

Why? People judge the value of the workout based on their effort. Sweat and work hard= good workout

Most training should be pretty comfortable, but easy doesn't sell.

[Jack VanDyk @jvdcoach]

@jeffosadec Part of the issue I find is folks don’t realize that “coaching” is leadership & about working with people not just what sport you coached. Most equate managing as “how many people do you oversee”. I’ve seen and worked for too many unqualified managers.

[Jack VanDyk @jvdcoach]

@jeffosadec Agreed. Frustration for me is I have applied to numerous roles like this of which I am qualified, experienced and meet the requirements however can't get a call back. Maybe they are looking for unicorns...

3433sportperformance “hang on to thomassmans wheel for as long as we can” group ride today out on the #bowvalleyparkway. Was great to feel the energy of the group and that “racing feeling” again. #repsolsportcentre… https://t.co/TPSM4os4f9

@jeffosadec Haha “25km”. Classic!

The reduced time coaching and travelling around the city has provided me an opportunity to re-evaluate my coaching practice and future directions. Each year I look to improve my knowledge and skill set to challenge… https://t.co/TW99qRSrJX

Getting creative today with my top tube artwork. So sweet to get out on the #mtb to noodle around NW #calgary. Nice to see so many smiling and friendly faces out on their bikes. Proof that bikes do make life better!… https://t.co/apJz6dotHt

Bearspaw is flooding! I was surprised the water didn’t freeze given how cold that west wind was today. #cycling #cyclinglife #cyclingalberta #roadbike #yyc #calgary https://t.co/bjoZtR3CoF
