BREAKING NEWS: UCSD Marine Biology department confirms existence of La Jolla-Saurus.
Biologists from the University of California – San Diego have located conclusive evidence leading them to announce that La Jolla Bay, just off of San Diego, is the home of a living prehistoric sea monster. The speculations have been confirmed that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs and is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere.
La Jolla-Saurus was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Some in the scientific community have regarded the La Jolla-Saurus Sea Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as a mix of hoaxes and wishful thinking. However this week Biologists at the UCSD have discovered underwater caverns which are used as dens by La Jolla-Saurus. Upon entering the cavern, the scientists discovered bones and a number of wet suits, swimming masks and shards of surf boards.
“It’s obvious to us at this time that the bones and other human artifacts come from the swimmers and surfers using the bay for recreation.” said Dr. Fish Taco, Phd, head of the Marine Biology department at UCSD.
I noticed that this podcast mentions that triathletes had better not use their legs during a triathlon. Isn't it accurate that there's some discussion about this topic for long and for short distance athletes?
Can you potentially nuance the topic a bit further? Otherwise I will have to search for more information which I will share here or on my blog.
Sure. Most of what kicking does for you is lift your legs up so your position is faster in the water (reducing drag). Wear a wetsuit and your legs float better anyway OR learn to position your body so the kick isn't as necessary and you can save the leg muscle use for the bike and the run.
You can notice this when you exit the swim and get on the bike and your legs are already blasted. Don't kick as hard and you may lose a tiny amount of time on the swim, but have much better feeling and performing legs on the bike and run.
Variables include the distance of the swim, if you're wearing a wetsuit or not, and current leg muscle stamina. If you think you have legs of steel, kick all you want.
