I don’t hear any of them asking for your sympathy.

Yeah, I heard a story once about Mark Cavendish almost getting dropped by the British national program as a junior because he had the lowest VO2 Max on the team.

I used to “need” my phone in the bedroom for the alarm. Then I spent $5 on an alarm clock.

“Extremely fatty milk” is another way of saying “very slightly milky fat”. Does olive oil go bad at room temperature?

First off, I think a particularly rich school like Harvard might go ahead and build up a hefty payroll, just because they can. Harvard’s current endowment is $36 billion (NOTE: Maybe donate your money to other places?), so they can afford to splurge on a team of ringers to blow through the Ivy League and win every…

Additional notes:

Giving homeless people in San Diego access to clean bathrooms and Hep A vaccines seems like a nice thing to do regardless. And dog owners can buy those plastic bag rolls.

This is Team Sky’s approach to dominating the Tour de France and it includes stuff like doing each rider’s laundry in a private washing machine to reduce the chance of one guy with an infection getting the rest of the team sick. They call it “marginal gains” and everyone else calls it “actually you’re kicking our…

Bradley found success late in life when he started a channeling James Brown type of vibe.

I read a story once about how the late Frank Vandenbroucke, perhaps the most doped cyclist of the 90s (which is really saying something), used to lose weight by eating as much as he wanted but only of one food per day. I think oranges were the example.

to employers, a poor credit score can show a lack of poor judgment.

This regimen sounds like some hippie bullshit. What’s so complicated about EPO micro-dosing?

Moscon and Stuyven did catch w 300m to go and they should have gone straight past on the inside instead of coming up the banking.

“Too much of hunting has turned into the notion of the kill,” he said. “It’s a component, the meat. But so much is experiential, so much is relationships. It is sitting in a duck blind with seven people, cooking breakfast. For me, it’s been a great way to see the world. The least interesting part is the three seconds…

The job of an elected official is to represent his or her constituents. The Secretary of Energy’s job is to provide expert recommendations to the President on matters related to nuclear weapons while making sure we don’t accidentally reduce the world to ashes. That’s a job for a nuclear physicist, or at the very least…

Rodriguez was waffling on whether or not to ride for Bahrain-Merida, but ultimately decided not to.

Even if ads on Medium aren’t bringing in much cash, Medium did pay Simmons Media to bring The Ringer onto the platform in the first place, as part of a campaign to convince other publishers to do the same.
