Is there any problem...?

[KSH]

This thread is confusing me just a wee bit. What about someone like me, who is wanting to do a duathlon (or two or three or more)...am I doing two exercises that actually harm one another? Everything you're saying insinuates that running is harmful to cycling muscles. What do I do if those two exercises are the only ones in the race?

Then I think, triathletes do the same and add a third. And, they do so wonderfully.

So, I'm a bit confused. Please clear this up for my novice self. Thanks.

Girl... keep doing what you are doing. Don't let this confuse you. I'm a triathlete... my running doesn't hurt my cycling. In fact, I think it helps my cycling. I'm sure some could argue that though.

I'm a bit cynical and I think this guy is a troll. AKA: Just posting weird stuff on this board as a joke.

Let's think about it... this guy has been cycling for 15 years... and he's asking us questions about running to help pulled muscles. Makes ya go... hhhhuuummmmm.

Lots of things make you go "hmm?" here.

Seriously, anyone speak Arabic?

THe links in Shauns' posts are to an Arabic site which does not have a translation key @ the bottom.

I was wary when i saw this gent's posts..

What is the forum on his links about...

While I am weary to be suspect here, because I am unsure if we would be as suspicious if the language was Spanish or French. My first thought in seeing repeated posts wondering what the signature says was...man folks, don't race profile here or jump on the 'fear all Arabs' bandwagon. And if that's not what you're doing, please know that it could certainly be interpreted that way.

My bet is that it is simply a name and quote, like most of our signatures are. But, to figure it out, I've forwarded it to my best friend who happens to be Egyptian. Hopefully he'll email me back soon with the translation and ease any concerns. He's a doctor and busy guy, but as soon as I hear back from him - I'll let you guys know the translation. Unless someone has already posted the clarification.

Let's not be suspicious of things because of someone's native language. Such weariness could create an air of concern for any TE members who are people of color, non-native English speakers, or those from the international community. Thank you.
