@bnorrism I think it's OK to over program a bit the first couple of days. The last couple of events is when it starts to look bad. Those are where you have the most potential new eyes watching. the athletes at that point should be given something you know they can crush, but will still look hard.
@jonjones229 That time doesn't seem right for Fikowski, at least to the eye test. I didn't see him being 20 seconds off Gui.
It looked like his chip didn't register in the first heat.
@jonjones229 I wouldn't call Adam's performance in the Capitol a "collapse".
It seemed pretty obvious that she had a plan given how fast she pushed the farmers carries.
@norm You're probably thinking of the 'afterburn' effect, which is real.... but is worth about a large banana of calories.
It's best to think of exercise calories as bonus calories lost. They really aren't worth tracking.
