From time to time, I post links to interesting
endurance-related articles, items, and ideas that I've come across.
(1) An investigative article on why Kenyans are world-beaters, by my training buddy, the all-around-inspirational Kendra Goffredo.

(2) Some wicked cool saddles. Most high-end saddles clock in at around 200 grams. These saddles by Dash Cycles are about 1/4 of that weight. You pay for what you get -- their m.4 road saddle retails for $750 -- but what you get is a 47-gram wonder.

Road 47(g) and tri (34g) saddles |
TriRig.com has a review of Dash's
time trial saddle that weighs less than 100g, and comes with water bottle bosses on the back.

Bling. |
(3) Bike-part clocks and lamps by "Clocks, Cleats, and Cranks." They're nutty but kind of neat-looking.

(4) A lucid explanation of which extension shapes work best in what contexts. TriRig.com, a truly terrific site, comes through again.
