Hello fellow cyclists and athletes!

I am looking for a bunch more athletes (25 and older) to help with my PhD dissertation research. It’s a quick ~15min. survey (a bit repetitive at times but this is purposeful). Check out the link below to help me out!

What does being an athlete mean to you?

I want to hear from adults across the lifespan about their athletic identity.

I am looking for people who:

  • Are 25+ years old (no upper limit!)
  • Identify as an athlete
  • Currently train/practice for a sport
  • Competed in the past year OR plan to compete next year

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Take the 15-20 min. survey here:

Contact: Derrik Motz, PhDc (derrik.motz@uottawa.ca).

Mine is “Cybersecurity applications to LLMs and Agentic AI” It’s the sort of topic that makes people run away at parties :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Back doing a PhD at 60 after completing a Master of Cybersecurity last year - so much to learn! US born but living in Melbourne, Australia now.

Very interesting! I wouldn’t run away at a party from that - sounds like a proper party haha

Can I participate? I’m asking because my training consists of running, cycling, rowing, and SkiErg — 25 to 30 hours — and 25-30 min of weight training; that is, I only cycle 2, sometimes 3 times per week.

As long as you use all that training to compete (at any level)! Even if is a Zwift race or local club race.

Competitions have to be in the last 12 months, or if you are registered to to compete in the next 12 months!
