We used to see that all the time at triathlons in the early days, before trisuits, changing tents, etc. Gals, too. I believe that is how one fellow, Big Al, got his name. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Is that kind of vascularity an indication of PED's or do most competitive cyclist look like that? | |||

No, it's not an indication of PEDs. A rider posted a similar pic last year, and people had the same reaction. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I am curious if long range cyclists blood has thinned or gotten thicker? 美しい犬 | |||

Another aspect, caloric intake. I could not physically eat enough to rep!ace what I burned. I lost 15 pounds in 6 days. That guy is skinny as a rail.

I would say neither actually. Having more red blood cells would certainly thicken one's blood, but that is not a clear benefit to a cyclist necessarily or a side effect of training. More importantly, it is an athlete's VO2 max that determines overall endurance and fitness. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

My thought as well, my feet are always discolored by socks after a really long hike or road march. Especially with army issue green or black socks. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

It is surprising how much you can eat when you work up an appetite. Before I quit smoking to take up triathloning, I was so skinny the other lawyers teased me because my pin striped suits had only 5 stripes. I had a meager appetite. It took a couple of years, but at one point, I was swimming 18,00 yards a week, riding 100 miles and running 25 miles or so, and eating 4,000-6,000 calories a day. I managed to put on 25 lbs or so. My body fat was 6-7% back then. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent.

Neither can a professional cyclist. Oh they certainly eat like a whale, but they can never replace it all. After three weeks in the tour, their bodies are worn down and emaciated. It's why it's just so difficult for cyclists to do both the Giro and the Tour in the same year. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Very true. I have a German friend that years ago used to run in those ultra-marathon races, 100 Km. Ran one in Switzerland. They ran at night, and he did the 100 klicks in 8 hours and 3 minutes. Said if he had known he was that close he could have beat the 8 hour mark. Anyway, he went to the doctor for something or other. The doctor was a stand-in for the regular one. X-ray of his chest scared the crap out of the doctor, due to his very enlarged heart! Came from running all the time. He kept a log and met his goal of running around the world. At least in miles.

When I worked as a moto pilot at the pro races that Trump and DuPont sponsored, I got to know a couple of the elite riders on a first name basis. I could not believe their caloric intake during the race. One in particular told me he was at 2% body fat and his trainer had him ingesting 15,000 calories per day in order not to "bonk". Even at that his body fat decreased through the ten day length of the competition. Almost a total carbohydrate diet on race days. Not saying that was healthy but it seemed to keep them going. The debris that was on the road after a feeding station during the race was treacherous due to the sheer number of banana peels on the pavement.

Ok, that's just utter nonsense. No cyclist is consuming 15,000 calories in one day. And that rider would likely be almost dead if he were really at only 2% body fat. That dude was full of it.
Why would you suggest that's not healthy? Endurance athletes primarily need carbohydrates. That's where they get their energy from. This is ridiculous this perception nowadays that eating carbohydrates is bad for you or makes you fat.

She probably thought your calf muscles were sexy. Women like certain features just like men do. At the YMCA there are a few women (over 40) who swim so hard, they say they are sweating when they get out.  | |||

You can believe that. The pools at most Ys are kept at near bath water temp, in the 80's, way too hot for serious lap swimming. The pools are used for old lady water dancing usually, and if it is cold, the non serious lap swimmers complain. Serious swimming burns a lot of energy. I was comfortable in 65 degree water, less so in water above 72 or so, and below about 63 degrees. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
