"If Miller did 1:23 and finished in 3:52, then she went 1:23, 1:14:30, 1:14:30. A nice acceleration, but certainly not impossible."
just as a point of order, because i obviously spent some time on this...
if tamasin reno rode even splits she rode 1:15 per lap. that's 2:30 julie would have need to have ridden minus the 6:45 she was down to tamasin on lap 1. that's 1:12-ish lap by my math, and that's if julie caught tamasin at the end of the ride. in fact, she caught and passed tamasin well prior to that, such that she would have had to pass her, get ahead, die, get caught, and have tamasin put 1:20 on her between the pass back and the end of the ride.
this makes it more like 1:09, 1:10 per lap. or faster. because we don't know how much prior to the end of the bike ride julie caught up to tamasin.
unless my analysis is wrong, and if so i'm eager to hear where i am in err.
