Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

The most important thing you can do to increase your chances of sporting success is to choose your parents well. Hard work and training is of course essential to success, but will only get you so far if you've got a crap set of genes

I agree with this. It's mostly down to the genetic 'talent'. Yeah you can train for hours and hours, but unless you've been gifted with a massive heart and lungs then you probably wont reach the heights of professionals.

Look at someone like Rebecca Romero. Retiring from a successful rowing career and then winning a silver medal in the WC Individual Pursuit in the same year is just mental.
