It is still very much doubtful whether SEMIRUNNIY will run the 5k. I think the Chinese guy who qualified is injured but China can put in someone else if necessary. And who knows whether they have some other dude ready somewhere, information from China is not uhm very readily available

intensity depends on your fitness, for beginners it can be as low as 60% of ftp but for top tier endurance athletes it can be well over 80%. Mine is somewhere under 80% but over 75% 

you guys should really read up on it I mean come on it'll be the first result on any search engine and probably less than 3 sentences to read. Not too much to ask

You can't and the real way of figuring it out is a session in the rape lab however if you do high z2 and can sustain it without fatiguing a lot you're on the right track imo because carb consumption ramps up quickly past lt1 so you'll run out of steam rather fast. But focused lt1 training is for advanced athletes anyways, I still do all z2 at the high end regardless because it's just more fun especially outdoors and there's no drawback since I don't ride that many hours and I reckon that goes for all of us.
Just fyi last winter I did some testing out of curiosity where I did 2h at 70% another ride 2h at 76% and another ride 2h at 82% and there was basically no difference between 70% and 76% but a big difference between 76% and 82%, riding over lt1 eats at you so there's no mistaking it. Seiler was right

For me I do my LT1 work around 70-75% of FTP, feels hard but not too hard and I can get 2-3h of time there without too much fatigue. I can pass the talk test but it's definitely not "all day pace" that I can just hammer out without thinking.
I have been thinking about getting a lactate meter for these efforts, usually I just triangulate from RPE / HR / power.

I don't recommend it. 

In all seriousness tho, it was a nice reset. Lost some weight, slept great. Realized I'm probably not an alcoholic because it wasn't hard to do at all. 

I'll do it every year going forward and may consider doing it again in June or so

No way they do but you see, standert maneuvered themselves into a corner and got bullied for it so they had to do something. They market their bike as nice and classy but also as a superior crit race machines and even sent them out to the media. The media then of course stated the obvious, how can a frame that is not aero at all and not light be a race machine and social media commenters trashed the brand even further. And this is them reacting to that entire thing

they should've just stayed in their lane and never even play the race bike angle or if at all just say > hi yes our bike is nice and oldschool with a new touch and you can even race on it! and sponsor a team maybe but don't lean super hard on that.

Always thought it was about durability and repairability and possibly cheaper (not the case anymore). Like me I never use my cage anymore and do 90% of my travel with the bike a cheaper robust alloy frame is interesting but the market doesn't seem to think that way and prices it for the dental man.

Bęrt I have been doing some research. The only way SEMIRUNNIY can run the 5km is when someone from a country with no replacement runner gets sick or injured. As far as I can see this is only the case for two countries: Austria (FARTHOFER) and Czechia (JILEK). So you know what to do

Its not as much that I'm a coldlet as it is that I'm a cold-gear-let. I love to run/hike in the cold, but I just hate cold weather cycling gear and the combination of getting hot with exertion and the windchill at speed is not my cup of tea. Anything beyond arm/leg warmers and a baselayer shirt is too much for me.

> combination of getting hot with exertion and the windchill at speed
it sucks and there is no winning kek you die one death somewhere, you'll either sweat more at one point for freeze more at another and to make matters worse you also can't breathe that well which is my main gripe. Either you are covered up and breathe through cloth which impedes breathing a lot or you breathe cold air which irritates your lungs and throat. So I end up not doing many efforts and just z2. 
All of that is why its only for hardmen, or diamondmen as I like to call us - the hardest of the hard.

I have the gear for freezing rides, I've done it several time when the commute demanded it. I wasn't even that cold, but for some reason it is very hard mentally to start the ride.

On the other hand going out for a 35 degree ride feels great. After that the body starts to complain

Only surprising thing is it's not Giacomeme. I guess he's guaranteed some medals for the host nation, so he gets a pass.

Still, great to see grandes getting their doping game back on track. They had been getting outshone by Russians, Norwegians and Sudacas in recent years, so it's good that they're following in Sinner's (bravo to the italian dopage industrial complex for the surname choice) footsteps.

I see right through that, it's a plot to discredit still existing tubeless safety concerns by false flagging every minor incident. Consumers who were previously on the fence will inquire if and how exactly the tire blew off only to find out that in reality nothing of this sort happened at all. This in turn will make them discard any incidents (if there were any) and any anti-tubeless people as fake news and fake news spreaders, thus leading to more adoption of the technology. One question remains:
Who is paying you?

pretty sure the black ring is the one that goes between the base of the fork and the lower headset bearing and the silver one goes on top of the upper headset bearing, I would be surprised if you can assemble the headset without both of them.
if you mean that there's a few (or a few too many) mm gap between fork and bottom of the headtube even after tightening the headset that does depend on tolerances but as long as you can eliminate all play when you tighten the headset it's just cosmetic

I have inadvertently slipped into a low carb diet, didn't feel like going for buns in the morning, just ate a big scrambled egsh + whatever veggie I felt like throwing into it + cheese + ham and I am keeping it.
Dinners will now also be going without carb kcal bloaters.
Pasta will still be on the menu, even just because I have to eat it before it goes bad, but pasta is also one of the easier stuff to make when grug want eat but not what eat, easy to keep it light.
Oh, and booze should be done for, but we will see in two weeks.

100kg or less before I am forty here I come, although I will be fine with a 102kg as well.

I can't offer help for this in particular but for myself I found that problems such as these are always caused by tight fascia somewhere. I had some kneecap pain a while ago and the source was a very tight spot on the rectus femoris muscle all the way up near the hips. 
good chance the problem also goes away if you keep going and flexibility improves

might be shizo take but specialized mobility work is completely useless (outside of niche professional sports) and mostly genetics, doing normal athletic weight training will get 99% of people better results in all areas that are related to "mobility"

You want to do some work over your threshold in the warmup. In running this is often called "priming", and for instance middle distance runners will do some 200m efforts at 800m pace etc. This ensures that your lactate is already slightly elevated at the start of your proper efforts, it really makes a difference in having an easier time. This is more crucial for shorter vo2max efforts like 2-10min but I also like them for longer efforts.

Did you know Lelgium wants to impose a toll vignette of like 120 eurodollars for foreigners. However, I just read that in the Separation Treaty of 1839 it is stated that all Dutch citizens have the right of free travel through Belgian territory. In the same treaty it also says we need to keep giving Antwerp access to the sea. And trains to the Ruhrgebiet that go through Limburg. I see a war coming

Bert, stop thinking you can live a normal life with a baby. Go to bed at latest 9pm, read a good book and try to fall asleep before 10. Our baby woke up before 6 for the first year and still routinely wakes up at 6-6.45, and I've found going to sleep early is the only proper remedy for this.

I didn't even know Sablikova still has the WR. But this track will probably be abysmal. It is just some improvised thing where no races have been held yet and it will be demolished right after the Olympics. So DEFINITELY no world records this week
