    Gives you respect for the pros when you realize the best climbers are averaging over 400w for 45 minutes up a mountain, and sprinters are hitting 1400-1500w at their peak speeds.

    EPO is a wonderful drug.

    I hit those same 1500-1600w levels in a sprint, but I'm also 6'0", 200lbs.
    Anaerobic efforts are my specialty since I played football in HS and have lifted weights fairly regularly throughout most of my adult life.

    I'm the guy that stole all of the flat-land Strava segments in my neighborhood, but isn't even in the Top 10 for the climbs.
    I'm a solid TTer and a great sprinter. Just don't make me climb, or talk about w/kg around me. :p

    Low

    Unrated

    Unrated
    $6.79 / hour
    00:08:50 / completion time
    Pros: Bonus potential (will update rating if/when it comes through).
    Easy HIT, kinda fun if you like word-search.
    Cons: Pay is a bit low, unless you're a super-fast word-searcher. Bonus will make it fair pay.

    EPO had them pushing close to 7 w/kg for extended periods of time, when anything north of 6-6.3 gets pretty suspicious.

    So while it did help their peak numbers, it was mostly good for sustaining their peak for ridiculous amounts of time. You had guys going like robots and never tiring up some of the most famous climbs in the world.

    Fabian was always my favorite. This clip was hilarious, waiting for the water boy to give him a Coke.



    Anytime someone tells me how windy it is, I tell them it's the helicopter, because of this clip.

    I have missed watching him race, especially on the cobbles in the spring.

    In 2010 I was still only watching the Tour, but Hesjedal's 2012 Giro got me watching the other grand tours, which got me watching the monuments, which got me watching all of the classics, and now I try to catch everything.

    A couple of easy package design preference tests. $0.15 to pick your favorite package and say why.
    **Open only to people familiar with Dental Mouth Guards / Night guards (to stop teeth grinding)

    There are two similar but subtly different tests. You're welcome to take both so long as you stop to look over both sets of images.
