I think extremely cold situations make it hard to ride at full power, but no idea why.
I heard recently somewhere that it was non-essential use of shoe booties. Anything more than baggies across the toes is to be avoided.

Exactly. I was complaining a while back about cold feet with hot hands on sub-freezing days. When I reduced the layering, it got much better. I imagine sweat stays inside the Windtex socks I got, and cools during the evaporation cycle. Now, just socks, shoes, and a wind-reducing bootie is working fine. -- -- Sandy

(so why doesn't the oh-so-efficient LANCE have to wear a jacket all the time?)
For a few years (long ago) I got kind of over-psyched about riding faster and my body fat got down to the 3-4% range (granted no big deal for some people but a major event for me). I remember having to wear a jacket in fairly warm summer weather.

I don't think even LANCE weighed his [censored].
He probably woulda, but Lafferty kept snatching it.
You wouldn't have to weigh your [censored] if you were truly measuring the complete metabolism of glycogen, if I recall my high school biology, glucose breaks down into CO2 and water. You'd lose it via exhalation and sweat.
Correct me if I'm wrong - it's been a while since I got that master's degree in life sciences, tho'.

How is this measured? Do they put him in a giant calorimeter?
The real Lance Armstrong died in 1988 as a result of chemotherapy. The "Lance Armstrong" that won all the races is actually a cyborg, it's the main reason why he keeps getting ditched by the women in his life. But to get back on point, because he is a nuclear-powered cyborg, tracking his net energy use and total efficiency is a lot simpler. They just measure the amount of plutonium consumed and since they know how much was there to begin with, the calculation is straightforward.

Sounds like the answer for heathers desire for a power measuring BB device.
