I achieved a speed of 117k an hour (71-72 miles per hour) during a race in the Tour of Suisse. This was much faster than the usual 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) that is typical for roads in Switzerland.
 
Transcript: "What's the fastest speed I've ever achieved during a race? We were just talking about this over the weekend actually. Fastest speed I've ever went was 117k an hour in the tour of Suisse through a tunnel. So it's just dead straight, more or less, semi-lighting and it was raining. So it was a bit damp. It wasn't so wet inside the tunnel. But still, it was wet. And during this, I always felt like I was the only one panicking that we were going this fast. And then when we finally made it out of the tunnel, everyone was like, oh, my God, what was that all about. So yeah, 117 is-- what, 71, 72 miles per hour. And to give you a little bit of perspective, the roads in Switzerland are absolutely gorgeous for the most part. Banked, smooth, obviously, so great place to go and drive a beautiful car or race your bicycle. And every day, on average, we'd go max speed of right around 100 kilometers per hour. So 62 miles an hour. So that gives you perspective how fast you regularly go on those roads. But 72-- yeah, no, that was stupid, and I don't ever care to go that fast again."

When you start to feel yourself taking shorter and shorter breaths, it's important to take a deep breath and push it out as far and as deep as you can and hold that, in order to reset your breathing and prevent hyperventilation.
 
Transcript: "We've all been there where we're digging so deep that you start to feel yourself just taking shorter and shorter and shorter breaths to the point where you're not getting enough oxygen to your muscles. You can start to feel your lungs burn, your legs burn, and just you know exponentially getting weaker and weaker. And eventually that turns into hyperventilation as well. You can't keep up with that breathing system and you just have to stop doing what you're doing. You literally have to pull the plug and reset. And so for me as soon as I start feeling those breaths get shorter before I even start feeling that deep burn, I know that I'm going into that into that process. And so I just stop, take as deep of a breath as possible, and push it out as far and as deep as I can and hold that. It's essentially preventing me from continuing to hyperventilate and from my diaphragm uncontrollably contracting and allows me to reset my breathing."

My number one pet peeve is when someone doesn't own up to their mistakes or their lack of responsibility and it causes conflict and mistrust.
 
Transcript: "Number one pet peeve is when somebody has a job, they don't do that job, and then they don't own those actions. That's a good way to build animosity within a team. If you have a job and you don't do it, fess up to it, own up to it, and do it better the next time. But you make an excuse or you don't own up to the fact that you weren't there when your team needed you and people will stop trusting you. So lesson of the day is conflict over confusion. Make sure you're talking and make sure you own your mistakes and that you share your your successes."

You can use a gravel bike on mountain bike trails, but it won't be as good as a mountain bike. A mountain bike can be used in a gravel race, but won't be as fast as a gravel bike. The positions of each bike are also different.
 
Transcript: "You can use a gravel bike on mountain bike trails and you can use a mountain bike in a gravel race. They're just going to be better at the jobs they were actually designed for. A mountain bike is going to be able to give you a lot more tire clearance, a lot more traction, a lot more forgiveness if the trail is rough. The gravel bike, I ride my gravel bike on mountain bike single track all the time. It's very quick, it's very light, it climbs very well, but if it gets rocky and bumpy, it's probably not the best bike for that. As far as actual positional differences, the positions are very different as well. We position the person completely differently above the bottom bracket and above the suspension if that bike has pivots in it like a traditional mountain bike does."

My heart rate during a workout is usually between 32 and 38 beats per minute.
 
Transcript: "Yeah, it depends on which training rhythm I'm in. If I'm over-trained or trained in the higher stuff, it's a little bit higher. But yeah, I would say, it's somewhere around 32 and 38."

You can use Erg mode to stay at the same power output while changing the cadence. This is good for muscle activation, and can be used as a way to add diversity to your training sessions.
 
Transcript: "Hello, Danny. Yeah, for sure, I asked the cyclist some time to go in Erg mode. The big advantage is that you can stay at the same power, but changing the cadence. And by doing this, you're changing lots of torque. So the power is always a product of the force you put in and the cadence. And that's why, you can keep the same power output by changing how much force you put into the effort. This could be good for muscle activation. For example, with a higher torque, so a lower cadence. On the other side if you want, you can also saffle it, but you must is having more cardiovascular effort by going up with the cadence, and still keeping the same power. So you can use it quite well in training also to bring some kind of diversity into the training sessions."
