Love the Pink Gear Box and multi-color tire levels – typically only two are required… but I maybe wrong 🙂
As I've discussed before, we fight a daily battle with Spammers attempting to post links for “male enhancement” products and other nonsense.
This has lead to us needing to approve any post that includes a link, before it displays.
Feel free add link away to anything you feel will be of value (this link was hilarious even if you don't speak German)  but please understand that your comment will be held for moderation before it shows with the other comments. We'll try to approve it ASAP, but at time there maybe a short delay.
I met Brent Adams today at a rest stop during a Century I was riding with a bunch of friends. This guy is totally devoted to his two young girls Ava and Adele… so devoted that he bought a custom Co-Motion Tandem built for all three of them to ride! I was totally in awe of this guy when he told me that the three of them did the 70 mile ride last year (Adele was just 7) and couldn't stop myself from posting about it!
Adele, Ava and Brent Adams
Take note of the detail Brent put into this; pink seats and handlebar tape, special seat tubes that will allow him to fit the girls as they grow.You've got to be impressed by the matching jerseys and the girl's coordinated outfits !
You may have heard this recent storyabout Triathlete Leah Shianne Prudhomme who was attacked by an otter, while on a training swim in Northern Minnesota. The theory is that Leah swam a little too close to this mother otter's pups and she (the otter) bit Leah 25 times in her zeal to protect her young.
A Minnesota swimmer had to get rabies shots after she was bitten 25 times by an otter while training for a triathlon in a lake near Duluth.
The Duluth News Tribune reports 33-year-old Leah Prudhomme had just finished swimming around an island and was heading back to shore when she felt fangs pierce her leg.
She struggled to get away as the mystery attacker bit her 25 times, leaving puncture wounds as deep as two inches on her legs, arms and back.
“It just kept coming after me,” Prudhomme told The Duluth News Tribune. “You never knew where it was going to bite next.”
Prudhomme told the paper she was shocked when the animal's head popped out the water and she realized she was being attacked by an otter.
“I couldn’t believe Duluth had an otter,” she said.
I had heard the story but hadn't paid much attention to it. But today, while I was researching a new company who provides virtual training systems, Leah's name popped up. Digging a little deeper, I realized that she's one of us 🙂
I found her Blog and she has an amazing life story; battling both cancer and Malaria, while being a mother to her two kids + competing as a professional cyclist and Ironman Triathlete.
I've reached out to her and with any luck I'll have her on the Podcast to tell her story.
I've added a new media player option that we'll use when embedding the full video player isn't necessary or whenever we feel that the normal player will take up too much space.
It's pretty cool and you can try out the new player by clicking this link to a zone based heart rate training video produced the people at Experience Life magazine. Life Time Instructors will recognize the monthly magazine Life Time provides to their members.
We may also use the player for music – playlists – made – up – of – multiple songs whenever the mood strikes us 🙂
I'm not a late night person. Fact is I rarely make it till sundown. But them I pop out of bed before 5:00 every morning so that makes up for it… right?
Anyway, I was researching Indoor Cycling safety and stumbled onto this video from the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon TV show. I've never watched the show but this skit they did about Indoor Cycling classes is pretty funny. Mild content warning.
I just received the latest issue of IDEA Fitness Journal and see that they have awarded Dan McDonogh with the highest honor achieveable by any Instructor; the 2012 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year!
Congratulations Dan!
RPM Instructors will recognize Dan as a long-time Master Trainer with Les Mills because Dan was frequently featured on their Instructor training videos.
Over the past couple of years Dan has transitioned away from RPM to his role as Group Training and Development Manager at TRX. I've seen Dan present to a group of what looked to be 100+ Instructors on TRX at the same time – fantastic! He is what I consider the ultimate instructor; he looks, speaks and acts the part to perfection. If you ever have the opportunity to take his class you're in for a treat.
I've tried unsuccessfully to have Dan on the Podcast a number of times and we were close to having him at the first ICI/PRO conference. Now I'll have to redouble my efforts at having him on the show… soon I hope.
