@RailService ah, know I understand why you keep it confusing for tourists. Up charge fees! Probably 20% of your revenue.
I will say the trains are impeccable, clean and on time. The ticket person was amazing as well.
@RailService you could not have a more confusing system for tourists.
Swiss rail pass… sure, but you need reservations. On the train… just sit wherever.
Panoramic train? Sore, reserve seats, rain and day, each with separate tickets… sit together as a family? No.
@stevemagness in your 4 minute mile days, did you do sprints? All out?
What do you think a 4 minute miler could do a 100 meters in?
I assume you could get under 50 in a 400?
@stevemagness There is no way they understand what an interval actually is. Or even “all out”
Sprinting all out is hard. Doing it over and over is extremely hard…. And recipe for injury in older athletes.
@nntaleb I can talk about climbs and % climbs of the SF Bay Area for hours.
How the gearing matters more on a climb than anything else.

@FitFounder Take it easy on yourself. Define what “ambition” is to you. A great life is having good friends, raising kids, traveling and a decent job. You don’t need to set the world on fire. Be a good friend. A better spouse and a great parent… you’ve just made the world a better place.
