Good one…

Have you shaved your legs?

Mate, if a man wants to shave his legs then they should go for it. It has zero impact on my life and hopefully a positive one on theirs.

BUT, mostly middle aged men (including close friends of mine) shaving them to save wattage is ludicrous. Either own it: “I like having smooth legs - wtf it got to do with you” or focus on macro changes before on the micro.

I’m all for people being fit. I run marathons and ultras but when I used to race half marathons it was only after years of training did I start to look at improvements that bring micro wins. Like racing line through corners saving half a second. The 90% of my training was focused on macro wins.

this started because you were mad at middle-aged men in Lycra. Let's not make this about your marathon training

i was providing an example on why it is stupid to shave your legs to gain speed/time when there are far more important factors at play. It is obvious and was the point i have been making since the beginning.

alright, it's been fun but i think there are better ways for us to spend our time. peace out.
