Of the top 15 at Kona it appears only 5 didn't have a power meter.  I assume if they have it, they use it.

The majority (but not all) use a power meter. 

Heck at this point most of my friends have Quarqs and Q-rings and ride by power.

I agree with you!

I'm sorry to hear you're still suffering from the accident, Jeff.  Stay positive!  

Low cadence intervals on the bike this morning.  I had to get up at 4:40 to get it done, so I know I'm going to be struggling this afternoon.  

Everyone in my house is sick except me.  LOL  I started to get a cold last weekend and felt pretty crappy, but I must have fought it off.  Then I started to get the stomach bug that my daughter is struggling with right now, but I must have fought that off, too.  I'm drinking 40-50 oz. of water a day, my diet is clean and spot on, and I added in some citrus fruit.  My body is working hard!!!  Now I have to help make all my little ones feel comfortable (colds, coughs, sore throats, stomach bugs, etc.).

That sucks Jeff.  I hope you heal up soon. 

Jeff -- we love you.  you should come visit us here more often.

Its so sad we even have to say this about athletes.

Some athletes like to go by feel no matter what.  Its all about what work for you.

I can actually say that I don't suspect most pro triathletes of doping.  There are several buckets that most dopers come from and triathletes don't tend to fit into many if any at all.

That sucks. I hope she gets better soon. Regan is my second daughter Reese's middle name.

Good luck. Hopefully the doctor's are able to find some course of action. I was dealing with ITBS part of the summer and it sucked so if you're dealing with that daily it has to blow.

I was one of the few that didn't believe Armstrong doped, and would never have suspected Chrissie.  But someone pointed out that she just stopped at the top of her game and put doubt in my mind.  It is kind of odd???

IDK.  I listened to her give a talk in the Village at IMTX last year.  She doesn't strike me as the stereotypical athlete.  She has a ton of other interests that honestly it sounded to me like she placed before triathlon.  Odd?  Yeah, but she strikes me as odd.

I was one of the few too, Karen.  I believe people are innocent until proven otherwise (but also realize that guilty people aren't always proven guilty).  I like to believe that Chrissie is an amazing athlete.  Maybe she's looking at having children in the near future?  Is she mid-30s?  IM training (pro) and pregnancy are incompatible, IMO.
