- But, I need some electrolytes.

Good mor--
afternoon, trainiacs.
We're sitting here at,
just before one o'clock, about to head out
for a nice, good group ride.
So, the old road bike is a little bit worse for the wear,
at the moment, having gone through some spring weather,
but I don't have the stuff just yet,
to give it a good cleaning.
So, we give it a very cheapo cleaning,
make it look clean.
(tranquil electronic music)
'Cause everyone knows that the cleanliness of your bike
is more important than anything.
Later today, I'll make a trip to the bike shop
and grab what I need to give it a cleaning.
Tomorrow, I'll show you how to do a five-minute
cleaning of your bike.
Ideas, ideas, to-dos.
Go there, flat tire from last week: we don't need
you; new tire from this week: we do need you,
that's for tomorrow.
Chain is dry as a bone.
That'll get me through a ride, and there.
I think we're good enough to fool a few people,
but I'm thinking that this is a little much.
(laid-back electronic music)
Lock you in the house,
and we're ready to ride.
(laid-back electronic music)
I'm gonna race this dude.
(car engine roaring)
He might have two too many wheels,
but at least he's got the right color scheme.
(car engine roaring)
Hey, bicycle gang.
This is it?
Wow, wow.
- Bad Saturday.
- Alright.
(laid-back electronic music)
- Whoo-wee.
We are talkin' two hours and
43 minutes, of elapsed time.
Alright, so the first thing about
why cycling is so important to be really strong,
and as a triathlete, is because
it's just such a big part of the race,
whether it's a sprint, an Olympic,
half-iron, we're talking the bike being
probably somewhere around half the time
that goes into the race.
Just that alone, with cycling being such a big
proportion of the race, really important to be strong at it.
The next thing is that, in my opinion, cycling
is more than half the race,
because, running comes after it.
Excellent runners tend to make good cyclists
in draft-legal races, but the fact of the matter
is that most of us age-groupers
aren't doing draft-legal races,
so our legs are going to be, basically,
at the mercy of whatever happens out on the bike,
because we're out there by ourselves, not drafting.
And, if you're a strong cyclist, your legs
are gonna be fresher; if you're a weak cyclist,
your legs are gonna be smashed,
and it doesn't matter if you're a good runner or not,
you're gonna have a tough run.
Now, the third thing that makes cycling so important
is how much time you can take off
of your overall time, with cycling.
Swimming, you're kind of at the mercy of your biomechanics.
If you swam a lot as a kid,
and you're a naturally good swimmer,
you can probably shave off, who knows,
let's say in a half-Ironman, anywhere from,
I don't know, five to 15 minutes,
from your starting point, as far as
the first race you went in.
Running,
again, you're kind of limited to your biomechanics.
If you're a naturally good runner,
you can shave off a fair bit of time,
but there comes a point that, for a lot of people,
you reach a certain level that, even though
you might keep running, you may not be getting any faster.
And you can top out, and you'd be running a ton
to shave off a minute or two.
Cycling however, is almost like a perfect correlation
of time in the saddle results in time improvements.
(blender whirring)
The next reason that cycling is so important
is because it's really hard
to go for a four or five-hour swim.
Actually, I am trying to prove that notion wrong, currently.
Anyway, it's also really hard to go
for a four or five-hour run.
But a four or five-hour bike is quite easy;
there's a lot of people that, in Ironman training,
they start doing nine and 10-hour bikes.
And that ability to go out onto the bike for hours,
and hours on end, doesn't just help you
with your bike endurance, it helps you
with your overall endurance.
So biking helps swimming,
and biking helps running.
But swimming doesn't necessarily help,
like, being able to bike for seven hours;
and running for a couple hours doesn't necessarily help you
being able to bike for 10 hours.
But biking 10 hours helps you to be able to run,
and swim, for a few hours.
That was a really clumsy way to say that.
I need some electrolytes.
And then, the last reason that cycling is so important,
well, not so much that it's important,
but it's good to focus on getting better at cycling
because it's easy to get better at cycling,
because I find that it's easy to work into your routine.
You can't go and check emails while you're swimming.
You can't commute to work by swimming.
It's harder to do emails and things like that
while you're running.
You can listen to some podcasts while you're running,
and you can commute by running,
but with biking, you can hop on the trainer;
you can pound out a bunch of emails;
you can still be productive;
you can Instagram it up, like me.
You're welcome for all those shirtless cycling photos
over the winter.
You can work it into commuting to work,
you can listen to podcasts.
You can still be productive
while you're training to become a better cyclist.
And, it's not gonna get in the way of real life,
as much as the other sports, where you have to make a point
of going to do them.
So, from that standpoint, if you're saying,
you know what, I'm going to become a better cyclist,
it's easier to work into day-to-day life.
You got a big margin for improvement,
it's a huge part of the race, you can work it into
day-to-day life, it helps your running,
you get to wear Lycra and Spandex,
and look really cool, with colorful socks like me.
Why wouldn't you focus on cycling?
There we go; that's why Taren cycles a lot.
And I gotta go pretty myself up, so that
we can get to the bike shop soon.
Soon, soon, soon, soon.
Lots of soon, soon.
Whoa! (banging)
Not on purpose.
Everything's authentic on this channel, folks.
Heading into your favorite bike shop, and mine, Alter Ego.
I love the people here, they're good.
(laid-back electronic music)
Crazy around here.
- I'm never here on Saturdays.
So, when I get something cool in,
how do I Instagram and post about cool stuff,
without it being boring?
- Here's how you post about it without it being boring.
There.
- Oh, has this been going on?
- This has been going this whole time.
Go do stuff, Heather, see you.
- I better not be in that blog tomorrow.
- You're gonna be all in the blog tomorrow.
See ya, Rick.
- Alright, take care.
- Oh.
The Alter Ego people are fun.
Kim and I area heading for a nice weekend date,
and then we're going to meet my sister,
who's telling us if she's having a boy or a girl.
This is very exciting, so I'm gonna put you away,
'cause that's, that's family time.
I mean, you're my family, but like,
I don't wanna shove a camera in family face,
when she's announcing that.
Where are you, where are you?
Just a talking head.
