Suunto Ambit 2S Review
The Ambit 2S is a sleeker, lighter multisport version of the original Ambit. It is ANT+ compatible so you can link to a host of pods including power meters. It offers a range of analytical info for HR, beat to beat measurement, EPOC etc. You have to rely on GPS altitude which is fine for most urban uses. I like a wrist unit (and background software) that is easy to use and intuitive. Both should […]

Evidence That People Are Getting Too Soft
In Holland I learned the word watje. These are cotton wool balls. Nice, soft, fluffy balls of comforting wool. In cycling slang it referred to the guy who didn’t want to train in the wind or the rain and who stuck to the nice, smooth, flat roads. Are modern athletes getting soft? I present my evidence to support the rise in prevalence of the watje… Let’s start with heated pools… I have heard triathletes moaning […]

This skill is almost always left up to one team member, unless you are lucky enough to have two competent navigators in your team. Physically, you can be a […]
