Take this, you lycranauts:

His name is Stoltzfuss, which seems appropriate, no?

I was sitting down to eat in Amish country with my family, looking at a menu which told me the meaning of the name, when my Tolkien addled brain said “so THAT is where he (English but of German origin) got the name Proudfoot”

The chafing, dear god.

Augh, he works in a shop selling TOBACCO. 😡 And yet he isn’t sinning.

“Unlike most marathoners, who run around 20 miles at a time in training” — um, no. They might run close to 20 miles on some of their “long runs,” but on every run? Not even most pros do that (although the pros do frequently run twice a day, running close to 20 miles a day over two separate runs, and sometimes in a single run).

As for chafing, watch the Marine Corps Marathon, which runs through Arlington. Plenty of guys with BNS (bloody nipple syndrome), because of all the chafing from their shirts. (It can happen with cotton or with polyester fabrics. Relatively few amateurs wear Lycra running shirts but tech shirts are usually made of non-elastic polyester fibers.)

Bill Rodgers ran a marathon in his blue jeans in the winter Massachusetts to qualify for his first Boston Marathon. No cheap alternatives except sweat pants back in the day.

Let’s see him do a triathlon with a CaBi bike though.

he turns to running whenever he’s tempted to sin.

I just stopped believing in the concept of sin. Problem solved.

With all the running I’ve done in my lifetime, now I need to start working on my sinning to equalize the balance.

Perhaps this was his equivalent of self-flagellation?

A recent ride with a “cycling gear is for the weak coffee shop posure” fellow rider ended with him taking a good low speed flop. Seems his standard cloth pants got hooked on the saddle horn as he was dismounting.

Well, that happens with baggy cycling shorts too.

Yep. Love my Zoic shorts (they kinda look like these) but occasionally getting caught in the saddle is admittedly a downside.

I have some of those. They are not baggy pants. These are baggy pants:
