Serious Concerns by Founders
Why are Piranha men so bad? And the women so good?
You may have noticed that Piranha women have out done the Piranha men – more medals, more titles, more beers - it seems nothing has changed. BUT WHY?
Hypothesis 1: There are less women in triathlon thus it’s easier to do well if you are a woman
FROM THE TI WEBSITE
Þ So, if we removed 1/3rd of the male competition would the men’s results improve? ANSWER: YES
BUT if the 1/3rd of males removed are removed evenly from all levels, not just the upper quartile, then the improvement in results would only be small.Conclusion: Less men only means less men for the women in Piranha to beat
Hypothesis 2: Piranha women are more aero due to the skimpier clothing they wear & shaved legs
Conclusion: Piranha men have tried everything to compete – but failed
Hypothesis 3: The men were absent the day the health & nutritionist came…..
Conclusion: Piranha men got the wrong-end-of-the -stick when it came to carbo loading
Thank You & Looking forward to the next 10
