Kraig,

Thanks for the link to the post above. I'd never seen your thoughts on this and find them pretty darn interesting and certainly worth discussion as well as further investigation. It's pretty obvious that the majority of triathletes over allocate effort on the bike side of the equation and the development of more tools or guidelines for the allocation would seem prudent.

"What does this all tell me? I think it means that getting real small aerodynamically on the bike (since you really don't have to put out big power) becomes even more important -> just gotta progress on the deal so you can get comfy over time. I think this takes diligent, hard, consistent work to get aero and comfy - it doesn't happen overnight.

I also reckon that one's run speed/power is the limiter on the deal -> that will steer how slow/low power one should go on the bike.

BTW, this analysis changed my gut feeling on how to pace an ironman -> I gut felt an even split was the way to go. I reckon I was wrong..."
