In my project #FasterThanSuperman, where I try to become the most aerodynamic triathlete in the world, I have learned that “its all about the engine” is not true. You can ride faster without having a better engine. The estimated gains are calculated with «Average Joe» over 180km.

10 % more power or 10 % more aero?
More power or better aerodynamic? This is my thought about this existential question. Would you rather increase your FTP with 10 % or reduce your aerodynamic drag with 10 %? If you gave this option to triathletes I am certain that most would opt for the increased FTP. But it is the best option? This … Fortsett å lese 10 % more power or 10 % more aero?
Aero position VS sitting up – what is the time loss?
«Its all about the engine», some people say. «Aero is everything», is the claim by Specialized. What is correct? The obvious answer is; both play a huge part in bike performance. More correctly, its all about the relationship between power and aerodynamic. At least that is the case for time trails. In triathlon, we got … Fortsett å lese Aero position VS sitting up – what is the time loss?

#FasterThanSuperman – becoming the worlds most aerodynamic triathlete
Aerodynamic has been an extremely fascinating topic since I started with triathlon 10 years ago. My fascination made me use €1200 of my own money to be a few hours on the R.J. Mitchell wind tunnel in Southampton. The results were a true eye-opener. Ever since I had looked for an opportunity to get another … Fortsett å lese #FasterThanSuperman – becoming the worlds most aerodynamic triathlete

The triathlete/cyclists guide to hairless legs
We can just admit it; legs, where you can see every muscle fiber firing like pistons under the tanned skin, is much more aesthetically pleasing compared to the pale hairy variants. When Specialized also found an average difference of shaved vs non-shaved legs to be 70 sec/40 km, or just over 5 minutes for 180 … Fortsett å lese The triathlete/cyclists guide to hairless legs

Tempo VS Racer – Det store spørsmålet
Å være med på en triatlon krever ikke mye utstyr. En badebukse, svømmebriller, sykkel, sykkelhjelm og et par joggesko er det du må ha. De fleste ender naturligvis opp med å ha en del mer enn det, og spørsmålet om sykkel kommer raskt på banen for noen som er bitt av triatlonbasillen. Listen over utstyr … Fortsett å lese Tempo VS Racer – Det store spørsmålet

I try hard to optimize my aerodynamics and have a blog series about it. Read part 1 of my fight against the wind in the link.

Ny norsk rekord under Challenge Almere i morgen?
8 timer, 26 minutter og 20 sekunder er den raskeste norske tiden på en fulldistanse. Den tilhører Gudmund Snilstveit, ikke meg dessverre. I morgen har jeg muligheter til å senke den norske rekorden.

Race Report – Swissman Xtreme Triathlon 2016
Being back in Ascona was very pleasant. The historic and charming, yet stylish and well-groomed Swiss city, right with the border to Italy, was just as beautiful as I remembered it.

My race setup with Boardman TTE Signature
I got a question on my blog were I put my spare tire or tire sealant when I raced Ironman 70.3 St.Pölten last weekend.

Konkurransen startet på verst tenkelig vis. Jeg forsov meg til ikke mindre enn kl. 13, og måtte bittert se på at konkurrentene løp rundt uten meg. Neida, det var bare marerittet jeg hadde rett før vekkerklokka ringte kl. 04:15 og jeg faktisk sto opp 😉 Svømmingen Konkurransen startet vel heller ikke superbra i virkeligheten.
