They are already talking about how fast the swim is going to be today, guess that answers our question if they shortened the course. Looks like they will probably be going with the short buoys they set up last week for the test swim. I just hope they set the old records into another category rather than erase them, unlike the supersuit records that were set in swimming.

Pros are in the water warming up. Not a breath of wind and dead calm conditions for the swim. Absolutely stunning sunrise. It's going to be a special day.

so far......files i got from athlete doing the test swim last weekend show it wasnt short....but a few meters long.

i think the commentator are just doing small talk. there is no way for anyone to know if the course will be fast or not....if the current will be there or not etc.

I meant short from the traditional course they have been using for over 35 years..I have no idea what it measures out to, just that it has not changed over the years, until apparently this year.

x2 on that. When I looked at the hour by hour weather for Kona and Hawi it does not go much above 85F today and winds in the 12-16 mph range. Looks like it should be a headwind up to Hawi, tailwind coming down and headwind all the way back once they get back on the QueenK. Still looks like sub 8 weather with the new swim reduction if guys race each other from the gun rather than play poker

Once they get on the bike the German one is the one to watch and if you are able to have the traditional IM live broadcast in the background so you can get the english audio. Last year, the IM footage missed a lot of the action as they were chatting away about who knows what and the producers didn't cut to the action but the german broadcast caught it.

Potts looks to be swimming a very smart race. Tucked in 3rd for a good draft, not wasting energy trying to tow the whole group. Let's see if that gives him some good energy to finally bike on some decent rubber! I

Good early pace, Potts seems lost and now is sitting on. Still a large front group, someone will have to put the hammer down soon if they want just a few coming out together. Looks like a 3 group split happening right now.

I'm glad I speak German. It's so much better, a different class of commentary by pro TV presenters, and athlete who can actually recognize the people in the swim. Very good.

Hard to tell without knowing which way the current is going, if any. We will know in a few minutes at any rate, Matt Leito just commented that looks to him the record is going down. 5th fastest guy in the world at the 1500 in swimming who held it too.

One thing that is going to screw with guys like Lionel and Rapp is that they will be looking at their swim times not knowing they are not real, at least as compared as to how far they came out from the leaders. Maybe someone will tell them so they don't get too excited when they swim low 50's..

It actually may help them. If they come out and see the times they make think positively about their day and its helps them along. But I am guessing Jordan has been following the forum just a tad is probably aware of the course shortening.

Looking at the massive amount of guys swimming under 49, have to say it was shortened around 150 or so +/-50m. Guess they will now have to shorten the Womens gap to the men so they dont run head on anymore!

Love that the German broadcast is talking about the shorter swim.

Ya Jonnyo, that seems to be the consensus, the course was shortened about 200m or so from all the other 35 years. I dont like it, but they can do what they want, the new owners have a different sensibility about history than I do I guess..

No surprise, like I said, the lead Womens group dogged it after the turnaround. Looked like there would be a break going out, then they put on the brakes and let a lot of women back in the group, and of course let the other groups stay much closer. It may come back to haunt them later on, well for sure it will for most as Rinny runs by them in the first few miles rather than late in the race..And it doesn't hurt the dropped groups that the swim is not shorter too..

Nice. All they need is a good finish and we will all shut up. Saw the Diamondback in transition. Well, maybe it will look better in black.

Daniella Ryf is sitting at the front of the womens race. It'll be tough for the runners, I.E. Rinny, to make up time on Ryf

Ya, I only swam the race 15 times and another couple 100 times outside of the race. Just a fluke that almost 30 guys broke 49 flat or better on the same day. More than all the years before combined!! (-;

Yeah, this one time a few years ago there were 25ish together and the leader only went 50:51 or so. Must have been a slow year that year, or maybe just a slow leader. :)

But yeah, 26th place out of the swim in 49:04, and most of those guys were at least 2 minutes faster than a few years ago...

Just like Anthony Weiner, or Paul Ryan and his marathon, we will know for sure how much they shortened the swim. In this day and age no one gets away with anything, and like all the cheaters we catch here, we will ferret out this one too. To you and I it is obvious, but the rest will need proof and they will get it. All this google earth and map stuff will be the final word. People have saved screen shots of past years, so they will be able to show how much they got moved in.

jordan swam 52:34. let's say that swim is 1:30 fast. still, 54-flat on a normal day is a great swim for jordan. more importantly he came out of the water with jesse thomas, which i doubt jordan has ever done, and kienle.

but the real race for him starts now because arnouts, weiss, skipper all took 1:30 out of him to ride up to him (and kienle and thomas). what's the over/under on how long it takes that group to catch the front group? and who among those 7 is going to stick through 100 miles?

Ya 4;30 off the lead group or so is about average for him, but like you said, he came out with better riders. Just hope he throws out his power meter and just races with them. Not sure though about them catching quickly, lot of horsepower in the lead group too. Good thing is everyone has a shot at glory today, can't really blame early position as a big factor, as everyone is set very well right now.


And yes, the 100 mile mark is going to be very telling on the rest of the day, I figure the usual suspects with a couple outsiders mixed int there.

Why, you on a Moto out there? From my armchair here it looks like they are mostly riding very clean. 4 is quite a few this early, and will set a tone for everyone else's gaps. And I bet most are accidental encroachment and not passing, dont see anyone blatantly trying to push the limits.

Like I said, you will see bigger gaps given by the guys now that they have seen some go to the tents. About as fair a race as one could hope for, hope Lionel will be ok with it after..(-;

i think that means, then, they're just about to nab the back of the front pack.

At about 60km, Michael Weiss and Lionel Sanders are now 1:11 back from the leader. They will soon be on the back of the lead group. They are followed by James Cunnama. Kienle has dropped back a bit and is riding with Chevrot and Kramer.

how is freddy van lierde sitting in 3rd place if he served a penalty in waikoloa, as reported? did he not serve a penalty? i'm beyond certain he didn't make up 5min from wiakoloa to kawaihae.

If andrew messick reads this, "how much would it cost to have streaming intervals for all the athletes at the bottom of the feed."
That is all that is needed. The coverage is so much better than a few years ago.
There are a lot more commercials so they are doing much better monetizing the broadcast.

Unless I am misreading, the twitter feed on the right of the live feed says Sanders is only 1 minute back of the leaders?! How did he make up so much time so quick?? Mistake?

At about 60km, Michael Weiss and Lionel Sanders are now 1:11 back from the leader. They will soon be on the back of the lead group. They are followed by James Cunnama. Kienle has dropped back a bit and is riding with Chevrot and Kramer.

Sanders was still 4 minutes back at the timing spot a mile past Kawaihae, but he rode the last segment as fast as Kienle, Weiss, etc, who had joined the lead pack.

I rode to Waikoloa yesterday at 8-ish (race time there) and it was a ripping cross-headwind. I was 25 km/h downhill and 45 uphill the other way back towards town. I was hoping it would be the same today and would bust up the peloton, or at least soften them up.

I was thinking about this early this morning before the feed started since I knew the quality of the coverage would be brought up. I think it some part it comes down to that its former athletes without formal broadcast training but most importantly I think is that IM sees the live feed as more of a feed for all and so they cater more to beginners/family who may not fully understand the sport and what's going on so its dumbed down. I think that approach is wrong. They should view their audience as veteran triathletes and focus on the things that they would be interested which is positioning and tactics and such.

One of our timing wires was peeking out from under a rubber mat exiting T1. Someone saw it and sliced it in half! Not sure of the mindset at work there. That's why we use multiple lines at the important spots like that.

This production team and the announcers have been together for a while. That's why it's always disappointing with the fact that they don't use professional broadcasters and instead hang on to house loyalists like Welch and M. Lieto. I think they work cheap, and WTC doesn't want to spend the $ on something that doesn't add to their bottom line. There is no shortage of talent at places like NBCSN or ESPN they could outsource this to and improve the production qualities of the stream, but I think WTC does not see any benefit to them.

If we got professional broadcasters, we would complaining about them not knowing anything about triathlon. Bob Costas doesn't know diddly squat about our sport.

Well if you can believe Welchie's math, she is losing a minute per 10 miles. So yes at that pace it would be interesting at her 6;30 down right now. She would have to have one of her best runs for sure, can't hope that Ryf and others are all going to blow. in fact, expect Ryf to run low 3 hours or right at this year..At any rate no one will have it in the bag til the very end!!

That's where professional production comes in: use people like Welch (or any other insider) to add insight; someone who can tell the narrative of the day professionally leads the cast. Does anyone here not think Phil Liggett (for only one example) would do a better PxP than Welch? Welch knows tri, but he's not a broadcaster and after X tries at this it's obvious he is either not capable or not interested in improving at it.

Seems like wind picked up quite a bit over the morning. A few age groupers faster than Jesse and lionel through the 19 mile split.

As for Lionel I think we'll see him gain even more up the Hawi climb

The guy who probably could improve things is Matt Keenan, Aussie commentator who anchors most of the TV cycling coverage + does some ITU, Ironman & MTB work as well. He's not the expert that Mighty Mouse is but he has an eye for detail and stays close to social media, even during events. He really knows cycling but covers tri pretty well.

But honestly, I'm just glad to watch it at all. I can remember when I had to wait to read about it in a paper, days later and even then, just a summary.

Yeah it seems he's got some struggles to control the bike. Like a very brief wind gust that knocks him off his line every now and then.

Not that I'm an expert, but I distrust that small flare back into the front wheel - which is the part that Cervelo didn't include. It seems unnecessary.

Watching the live feed on the web. Camera is in front of M. Weiss and in the background is a pretty amazing (long, large) group of athletes going the other way in a monster bunch. There are other camera motos in the bk who have to slow, come back over the double yellow line to avoid the - sometimes three abreast - packs. Wow!

Lionel going a bit backwards since the downhill, lost a few seconds to the leaders rather than the big chunks he was gaining up til then. Not surprised, he needs pressure on the pedals to make up ground, and riding downhill is a whole different animal. Maybe if he had a 60/10 gear!!

Dude.... were not even at the 100 mile mark on the bike. He still has plenty of time to blow up. For all you know, he may run 3:15 due burning too many matches.

Personally, I think he's positioned himself very well. And I'm very surprised. I hope he has plenty left the tank.

Funny think he is just a little over 6 minutes back of the leader, which I would have said was not too bad at this juncture. But throw in 30 guys in that gap, and now it is not that good at all. Either a lot of guys are blowing today, or the top 10 to 15 is going to be really close..Probably the shortened swim..(-;

troy. can i get see if i can understand this? live tracking of this race is on going right here, at quarqrace, using the quarq qollector. yes?

meanwhile we have a competing technology being used for the pros. yes?

in the pro race, what i'm seeing are big gaps in time between the moments when the GPS is in range to deliver a signal back to the base station. is that because it's using cell technology? and the cell service sucks out there? or what?

now, quarq's tech, i don't see any indication whether there's a lag time. is that because there is no lag? or because you don't have that field? or what? how do i know the lag time? and how does the signal get sent from the qollector to the aggregator/base station?

Thomas may have dropped back but the train is still huge.


Yeah. Looks like 11 still there.

how many ahead of thomas are betters runners?

Isn't this jesses first kona? He will not crack the top 5, maybe not even top 10. (I might have to eat my words, but i dont think so)

I say finishes 3rd...behind Kienle and Potts (so says my race picks).

Downhill doesn't "favor" his strengths. But the fact that he didn't lose time, and others such as Thomas lost 2 minutes, you can see he did what he needed to stay within a good distance of the leaders.

I think a top 10 is definitely doable, which would be a great result for him. Top 5 is a bit of a stretch at this point unless we have a few big blow-ups.

Thomas lost a lot of time - almost 2 minutes - between Kawaihae and Waikoloa. He had been just ahead of Sanders, now 1:12 behind him. Sanders lost 30 seconds to the lead on that segment.

It is. And he could run a great marathon if he's not overcooking the bike. If all these guys get off within 5-6 minutes it's going to be a fun first 10k of the marathon to watch.

Hugh, thought everyone was getting that free ride in the pack saving all those huge watts everyone talks about? More guys riding together late in any race, = more blow ups. Dudes dont care about finishing or even top 15, it is race for the money or nothing. Let the back half of the field that was never in the race to begin with collect the places no one really cares about..

in the pro race, what i'm seeing are big gaps in time between the moments when the GPS is in range to deliver a signal back to the base station. is that because it's using cell technology? and the cell service sucks out there? or what?

now, quarq's tech, i don't see any indication whether there's a lag time. is that because there is no lag? or because you don't have that field? or what? how do i know the lag time? and how does the signal get sent from the qollector to the aggregator/base station?

Is the pack in the front pulling away, or Lionel losing ground by slowing down. He's 4:25 down now and from what I read 3 min down at Hawi. Can all these guys keep Kienle's pace. Monty any prediction on Kienle's run time. I am thinking he is banking on a sub 2:50

That's what I am thinking. Some of these guy are probably thinking that they already biked hard enough and at most will enter T2 5 min down, but if they can re load enough, then it's going to be a strong run and most of the guys in the front group will blow.

TO is in a good position in the front group having not "cooked" himself with super fast racing this summer.

To be fair he raced Ironman Bolton this year and smashed it so is on a lot of Uk fans radar now so some will be cheering him on.

Hope he has the legs to run, looking at his splits he is absolutley smashing the bike course. Faster than Joe Skipper, anyone know if Joe Skipper had a mechanical or penalty? Looked like he was making good progress and then blew.

Weiss was 90 seconds behind Sebastian. He's now nearly 3 minutes behind, while Kienle is leading. My statement stands.

I was thinking all along that Weiss must have a big pay offer to be first off the bike. Oh well, not today.

I'd be curious to know if German federation has shifted from ITU focus to full support of these LC top athletes who are winning and podiuming at world champ events. Can't say that for Germans ITU right now.

ETA: sorry auto correct from phone.

How they announced the Olympic squad was one of most disappointing things I've seen at elite level.

Rinny will have to run her best run ever just to have a chance at a podium, winning will need something to happen to others too..Funny how Ryf put so much time into her chaser, right about the time all those frontal close ups were being taken.. (-;

Rinny's overcome 14min the past right? She's 15min down on Ryf at mile 87!!! This gap will be even bigger. She'll likely have the 5th fastest run of the whole race but it'll be a tall order to make this up.

It seems stupid on the surface, but it is so that all athletes cover the same distance in transition. At least for T1, it makes sense since everyone has to pick up a bike. T2, there could just be a hand off of the bike and then everyone just cuts across to the change tent.

Will be interesting to see the mile 1 split and how many have sub 6 min opening miles and >7.5 min closing mile.

Kienle has been running really well at Frankfurt and 70.3 WC. While Jan is on paper the better runner, Kienle has the cooling advantage as the smaller man.

not quite to Gwen's ability compared to others, but I think Frodo has much more in him.
Of course, I could be very, very wrong.

My 2 cents. Frodo and Sebi are over running. 5.55 per mile pace at 2.9 miles. Mark and Dave were running slower. No one has ever run 2:35 pace at Kona or no one has run sub 2:40. I think Frodo and Kienle are "over running" less than the guys chasing them out of T1. A lot of those guys will blow as they are running right at 6 min pace. None of those guys can sustain that.

I remember Frodo walking aid stations last year and two years ago to cool down. I bet he won't be doing that today with Kienle on his heels. Is he going to blow up at some point...?

That first 5k pace might hurt them. You're right. Might help those back, like Sanders and Thomas, possibly pick up a podium.

I think the Canadian win is out. Sanders needs to run 2:39 if Frodo runs 2:45 just for a "tie".

I think Jan and Sebi will slow down a bit. The other guys will slow down a lot more. No way most of these guys keep up their 2:45 pace. Sanders is running at the crazy 2:35 pace that Frodo and Kienle are on. He's going to slow down too, but will be interesting to see the relative fades after they climb up Palani onto the QueenK.

Frodo's gotta be generating the most heat out of any of these guys with his size and speed.

I'm fortunate to be on Ali'i Drive (no live weather station though) and it is a riveting race. I'll drop this in and try and keep it short.

Dan (and others):

We offered a free trial of Qollector to age group athletes. We are tracking participants on quarqrace.com so they get the race features such as age groups, favorites and ETA. We have around 100 participants. It is close to live. It updates every minute.

The pros are using competing technology. Both devices use cellular modems.

Qollector uses 3G AT&T cellular and we control the device's hardware and firmware, and the FUZE file transfers. There is a dead spot at Hawi. But at biking pace we get updates throughout the course elsewhere. We had two developers on the island for two weeks prior to last year's race learning about Qollector in Hawaii.

When you click into the Table on quarqrace.com you can click on a participant and it shows you when they were last seen. 1-60 secs or longer if they're out of service.

Actually not true. If you listen to Dave and Mark talk about that run, they were going just over 5;30 pace right around where these guys are. There was a lot of attacking by dave in the first 15 miles and then it would settle down once mark caught up. I dont know how those two ran so fast doing it as a fartlek run, guess because they had to. We will see what these germans have to do..

i was invited to the first several hoka "think tanks." i knew the frenchmen before they sold the company to deckers.

after my second or third think tank, the then-president of hoka pronounced the company "hoka-1-1." i then asked, officially, for the record, how is it pronounced? how are you pronouncing it? officially?

"hoka-1-1."

either ironman (hoka oh-nay oh-nay) didn't get that memo, or they've changed it back. it originally was oh-nay. it's a maori word. but deckers outdoor said, heck, fudge it, it's just 1-1. i'll find out if they've repented.

Hoffmanns best chance for a win is for keinle and Frodo to race each other into the ground for 18-20 miles. WAYYY to early to make a call but I didn't like how quickly Keinle charged up to Frodo when he had that mishap at the aid station.

I watched the entire 89 race coverage on youtube (7 part series) and timed where they were and when. Dave and Mark are full of shit (the legends always get better with age0. They were going slower than 6 min miles early. Dave was jogging and Mark was shadowing him. Yes Dave surged a bunch of times from his slow pace and Mark matched him so he just settled in.

You might be right on that. I think Hoff is pacing quite well. The two in the front, one of them is likely going to take the win and the other guy will move backwards to 5th place at some point (but 1-2 would be better for me as a fan). I just think they are going way hard

Just a general comment.

It looks like many athletes could benefit from racing in Europe to get the matching.
(And of course this can change if other regions will be where the best are doing their racing).

My point, waiting to Kona to meet the best is maybe not the best strategy.

How can you ride 299 W at his size (not that big) and only ride 4:26. His aero does not seem that bad. Do you guys think his powertap pedals read high?

That is what I was thinking. One of them takes the win, the other guy slides back to 5th place. But even Frodo could take himself off the podium running 6 min miles. He's human too and he's generating a ton of heat.

I have p1 pedals 19.01 for 9 miles at 295 watts (175lbs - 6'1) - something def look funky with his numbers

Rinny's only hope is Ryf's dual sub 9's 1 week apart this summer come back to bite her late in the run and she walks. I'm not ruling that out totally, but Ryf has such a ridiculous buffer, she can just jog as long as she avoids walking.

Well those were all on the old course, not this new shorter swim one. So all records now have to have an * next to them. This is exactly why I did not want them to shorten the swim, it trickles down to the actual finish times too..

Suppose that Ryf goes a 8:50. Would that be a non-asterisked performance?

So if the swim was "LONG" and the swim is now accurate, then would that not mean that a record set now would be "THE RECORD" Saying the swim is "short" is not an accurate statement if the old one was long.

Everyone remember Patric Lange? I do and now he is running into contention with the fastest pace. Didn't he run 2;41 on a hot day all alone? Hell, Germans could get the top 4 spots if this keeps up..

They used to have a Leaderboard option in the Athlete Tracker, that would return athletes in order of their place. Seems to be gone, so no way to know current place as of latest run mats. Pretty sorry. But, at least they have estimated finish time, thank goodness for that.

I dont know if it was long or not, but I do know the course record. Even if it was a few meters long, dont think it was a good idea to change it after 35 years of being the same exact swim. It is not like ironman is some certified distance that everyone can relate to, it is not the marathon or 10k. It is just what most RD's cars odometers get while driving, or some point they got on a gps for the swim. It has never been exact in any form or function, so I just didn't see the need to fuck with the tradition of the Kona swim, thats all.

Would be nice to have any idea on how the women's marathon is going. All we know is the first mile times... the women's run is probably the most interesting aspect right now. Is Ryf's pace fading?

Dunno about the pace but she's putting time in Heather Jackson who is a strong runner, so Ryf is going pretty fast.

Sweet, much better picture.

Everything so much better even though I can only pick up a little of the German. They have standings flash on the bottom and once in a while provide summaries (great as I'm late to the party).

Rinny is a good triathlon biker for someone as small as she is producing such low top line wattage (given her size). She might be able to get down to Natasha Badmann range with more aero tweaks but at what cost to her run. Keep in mind that Rinny's times have generally all been faster than Natasha at her peak and also as fast or faster than PNF (an athletes of the same size who biked faster but ran slower....also keep in mind that PNF was able to ride with age group men. Her times would be slower today riding solo).

You always come back to this 'size' thing with men and women on the bike leg of the triathlon. How big is Alberto Contador? He is a pretty handy time trialist. How big are the best female time trialists in the world? I'm sure they are not much bigger, if they are bigger at all, than any strong female cyclists in a triathlon. Alistair Brownlee is hardly big yet he seems to be able to deliver some pretty big watts in his ITU races.

Is Badmann much bigger than Rinny?

I think she's doing everything she possibly can to get into contention sooner. It's easy for us to coach her on ST. I'm sure Siri and her have been working on her swim & bike the last few years.

She can't magically "learn" something. She just physically cannot produce more watts on the bike. It's like asking a linebacker to learn how to do the balance beam in the olympics gymnastic competition. At some point you can't defy your body's dimensions. As I said, she might be able to tweak out some aero gains, but is there a cost to her run? All the pro women up to now who are that small who biked faster ran slower. No one has run as fast as Rinny while riding like PNF or Badmann out of a frame as small as those girls. There is no magic learning to be done here. Rinny's bike was in a respectable range of other pro women. Ryf is out of this world as Chrissie was. Both were much bigger athletes.

I agree. Look at Emma Pooley or Evelyn Stevens. Both tiny and fast. But not as lean as Carfrae though.

No, I say they same thing every year after watching the leaders for hours while all the action is going on behind them. I keep hoping someone from Ironman will read my post and think.... Hey, all the action is behind the leaders, maybe we should drop the cameras back.

She tried riding with the pack once and ran poorly (by her standards). Too much surging and stupidity.
Then she went back to a super controlled ride that allowed her to run into the win.
She has her energy expenditure strategy pretty dialled for delivering lowest overall time she can. Unfortunately she is up against possibly the best ever.

It's Patrick Lange's first appearance in Kona, and to be honest: It's his first full-distance ever! The IM North American championships had a modified bike course of 94 miles due to flooding - so Lange is doing his first real full-distance today. By the way: Do you know his coach? It's 2005 IM world champ Faris Al-Sultan

Admit it, the real reason you could watch Lange run all day long is because of his wide open kit.

So when will people start saying "She should learn to bike"?


Rinny is a good triathlon biker for someone as small as she is producing such low top line wattage (given her size). She might be able to get down to Natasha Badmann range with more aero tweaks but at what cost to her run. Keep in mind that Rinny's times have generally all been faster than Natasha at her peak and also as fast or faster than PNF (an athletes of the same size who biked faster but ran slower....also keep in mind that PNF was able to ride with age group men. Her times would be slower today riding solo).


You always come back to this 'size' thing with men and women on the bike leg of the triathlon. How big is Alberto Contador? He is a pretty handy time trialist. How big are the best female time trialists in the world? I'm sure they are not much bigger, if they are bigger at all, than any strong female cyclists in a triathlon. Alistair Brownlee is hardly big yet he seems to be able to deliver some pretty big watts in his ITU races.

Is Badmann much bigger than Rinny?


I agree. Look at Emma Pooley or Evelyn Stevens. Both tiny and fast. But not as lean as Carfrae though.

You guys realize that Emma Pooley would not be able to match Rinny's bike split in Kona?

To fulla, the Contador example is world's away from Rinny. Contador is still 62 kilos. Carfrae is 52 kilos, Pooley is 48 kilos. Alistair Brownlee is 70 kilos, Kienle 73 kilos, Frodo 75 kilos. Brownlee is hardly small in that context. He is basically the same weight at Chris Froome (69-71 kilos).

How can you ride 299 W at his size (not that big) and only ride 4:26. His aero does not seem that bad. Do you guys think his powertap pedals read high?

I remember this one from a few years ago. 327np and 4:32. Hotter and windier day, though. I think only one amateur and a small handful of pros went faster.

Chris Froome's race weight is 147 lbs (66.7 kg). I reckon in a straight up 112 mile TT, Pooley beats Carfrae every time.

In IM Melbourne last year where they raced together...Pooley did 4:44:33 (after a shit 1:08:45 swim...i.e. she cycled alone for a lot of it. She was 5s slower than YVV for best split. She was ahead of Steffen, Hauschildt and other fast cyclists) compared to Rinny's 5:00:58. The harder the course, the better Pooley will do, she is a climber. Melbourne was flat as a pancake.

Monty, go to 28.08 into this video:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWrpbMVicnY

That is when Mark and Dave come into T2. You get to watch 30 seconds of the transition and then they pan over to Wolfgang in the lead, so you don't know exactly how long T2 is but it can't be much over 1 minute. Still, Mark as faster than Lange.

1:13 and 1:15 transitions for Allen and Scott according to this:
http://triathlon.competitor.com/...#KyiIM77r43oOdSM7.99

Some claim both transitions were included in bike split, but consensus seems to be T2 was in run split, so 2:38 and 2:39 for Allen and Scott. Different run course, arguably harder in 1989, but no matter how you look at, certainly not apples to apples, though if all 1989 reports are accurate (T2 in time, harder course, and legitimate 26.2) then for certain the 1989 performance trumps Lange's.

You realize that Rinny is always in tourist mode in Melbourne? And how fast does Pooley go on the run relative to Carfrae when both are peaked (ex Rinny in Austria, Roth or Kona). I'm a Pooley fan (I really am, I love how she wins all those hard climbing races), but I think you have to look at the full performance, not just say, "Rinny has to learn to bike faster" As I said, she could bike faster by getting more aero, but she probably feels there is a cost to her based on her own tests. It's kind of hard to argue that much with a multiple time Kona winner for the formula that works for her....well until it does not work, so I guess that's what we're doing. I really don't think after all these years as a long course pro her bike gets much better.

Sounds about right, like I said, a 2;38 something. But on another topic about Patrick, assume he got his 5 min penalty for some very minor infraction and not blatant drafting, that puts him sprinting with Frodo for the win!! Too bad we were robbed of that finish, we thought we had a German ironwar, it evaporated quickly, only to find out we could have had a real one to the bitter end!!

You stated small people can't go fast. Pooley clearly can. Carfrae never would go 4:44 in Melbourne....has she ever got close to that in an IM (I can't be arsed to look that up)? Pooley ran a 3:21 marathon (8th fastest split) compared to Rinny's 3:08 (3rd fastest split). So Pooley didn't exactly blow up on the run from an especially hard bike, etc.

BTW, I'm not saying Rinny can improve. I just think you can go fast if a smaller athlete i.e. Rinny's size isn't just the reason she isn't a fantastic cyclist (relative of course).

but she has to learn to do something that gets her in contention earlier...running down people who are SO far ahead is super challenging

change something Rinny.

You know I love you!


I think she's doing everything she possibly can to get into contention sooner. It's easy for us to coach her on ST. I'm sure Siri and her have been working on her swim & bike the last few years.

I would be interested to see her splits from the past 4 years and whether the swim and bike splits have improved much.

Won't make a difference. Every year the conditions are different apples to oranges

I know, just like when LVL went 8;04 with his penalty, was that going to be a sub 8 day? But suffice it to say that lopping 5 minutes off of Patricks time and just seeing the zip code he would then be racing in, well it would have been a much closer finish for sure. Of course he got that 5 minutes of rest before starting his run, and that alone is what put him under 2;40, but you certainly do not get a one to one trade off on resting before you start and time off at the end.. thats all

You always come back to this 'size' thing with men and women on the bike leg of the triathlon. How big is Alberto Contador? He is a pretty handy time trialist. How big are the best female time trialists in the world? I'm sure they are not much bigger, if they are bigger at all, than any strong female cyclists in a triathlon. Alistair Brownlee is hardly big yet he seems to be able to deliver some pretty big watts in his ITU races.

Is Badmann much bigger than Rinny?


I agree. Look at Emma Pooley or Evelyn Stevens. Both tiny and fast. But not as lean as Carfrae though.


You guys realize that Emma Pooley would not be able to match Rinny's bike split in Kona?

To fulla, the Contador example is world's away from Rinny. Contador is still 62 kilos. Carfrae is 52 kilos, Pooley is 48 kilos. Alistair Brownlee is 70 kilos, Kienle 73 kilos, Frodo 75 kilos. Brownlee is hardly small in that context. He is basically the same weight at Chris Froome (69-71 kilos).

What I was getting at is that many pro cyclists are quite small, just look at the size of them on the podiums next to skinny models. Often smaller. Their size does not seem to make them much worse at time trialing. Whilst some of the bigger guys do well at time trials, there are plenty of "little" guys who do ok.

I think Brownlee is smaller than 70kgs.

Rinny is a good triathlon biker for someone as small as she is producing such low top line wattage (given her size). She might be able to get down to Natasha Badmann range with more aero tweaks but at what cost to her run. Keep in mind that Rinny's times have generally all been faster than Natasha at her peak and also as fast or faster than PNF (an athletes of the same size who biked faster but ran slower....also keep in mind that PNF was able to ride with age group men. Her times would be slower today riding solo).


but she has to learn to do something that gets her in contention earlier...running down people who are SO far ahead is super challenging

change something Rinny.

You know I love you!


I think she's doing everything she possibly can to get into contention sooner. It's easy for us to coach her on ST. I'm sure Siri and her have been working on her swim & bike the last few years.


I would be interested to see her splits from the past 4 years and whether the swim and bike splits have improved much.


Won't make a difference. Every year the conditions are different apples to oranges

Not if you look at her relative position and relative splits.

Ryf could beat Rinny's record by 4-5 min. So looks like she beats the old record by 2.5 minutes? This is where the change in the swim course kind of sucks.

Well at least she beat it by enough to cover the new spread on the swim, so its all good.. So this is the new normal, it is what this course has to offer the women of the future. Gonna be pretty hard since no one within 20 minutes, we have another Chrissie on our hands it appears.

I think he served his penalty about at the first penalty tent. So he biked for about 3 more hours solo before the run.

It was a great run, never know how it would have happened if he came off near the front maybe he and frondo blow up running so fast off the bike that they crack and sebi wins, maybe.... maybe.... maybe.....

Technique will always last longer then energy production. Improve biomechanics, improve performance.

That race is still going on. Granted, pending disaster, it's likely decided. But Ryf can take a shower, get a massage, change her clothes, and mosey back to the finish line to congratulate 2nd place.

You stated small people can't go fast. Pooley clearly can. Carfrae never would go 4:44 in Melbourne....has she ever got close to that in an IM (I can't be arsed to look that up)? Pooley ran a 3:21 marathon (8th fastest split) compared to Rinny's 3:08 (3rd fastest split). So Pooley didn't exactly blow up on the run from an especially hard bike, etc.

BTW, I'm not saying Rinny can improve. I just think you can go fast if a smaller athlete i.e. Rinny's size isn't just the reason she isn't a fantastic cyclist (relative of course).

Did you read what I wrote earlier in the thread too. There has never been an athlete as small as Rinny who bikes a ton faster and still runs fast. Paula and Natasha biked faster but they ran slower. There is a finite amount of energy to dispense during an IM from a smaller body (smaller tank than a large athlete, still the same size wheels to move through the air)....take more on the bike have less for the run. If you generate more top line watts, there is more kilojoule usage on the bike and the total storage on the body is a lot lower for the small athletes (you might argue the consumption is lower too, so it's a wash, but there is a reason why being either too small or too large is bad for IM racing). Large athletes can definitely ride faster for TT's, but they carry more weight on the run. Frodo is a borderline freak.

Anyway, it's kind of academic. Rinny's bike was in the range that she needed to be in for everyone but Ryf and previously Chrissie. Her strategy has been pretty successful in general. I'm not convinced that she can produce more watts. She lives with TO and would have access to all kinds of guidance. She might be able to get more aero, but how much. Her bike was in the range (5 min) of Mel Hauschildt. No one is beating up on her? She was 3 min behind Mary Beth Ellis, and a minute off Swallow and Vesterby.

Ryf is just better!

Yes. As in Ryf WAS 1st, long ago, in the past. While those still running in the present are way behind still running.

Well, Lange, on the mens side, broke the run course record, bounced around for a while, and had to be calmed by his countrymen. Anja Beranek just did a cartwheel (albeit not that great of one).

The thing about Ryf was that she wasn't challenged today. At all. She didn't have to dig. She's faster than her performance today.

You mean like "I'm full of EPO" good? I really doubt it. Some people are just genetic freaks for their sport, like Michael Phelps, Chrissie Wellington, and apparently, Daniela Ryf. I would pay $$$ for a three way Ryf, Wellington, and Carfrae Showdown.

Yeah I kind of already regret implying that. It's just hard to believe she's 20 minutes faster than the next fastest woman. That would be like Gwen winning by 4.5-5 minutes.

Well Daniela biked 1 min slower than Heather Wurtele and 2 min slower than Mel Hauschildt at 70.3 Worlds over half the distance when she was totally trashed and not peaking. Today she was 20 and 15 min ahead of them on the bike respectively. She was flat on the bike in Australia, likely from her summer due sub 9's on back to back weekends, but seems to have gotten her bike legs back in time. Note that she ran pretty fast at 70.3 Worlds (1:21). I think she is just that good. She finished 40 min off of Frodo today. At Roth she was 47 min behind, but at Roth Frodo was on a TT, whereas here in Kona he is racing tactical for the win, which is not usually the fastest outcome. Plus in Roth the cameras are less disciplined than in Kona so Frodo likely gets a bigger benefit in Roth than Kona. Her results are in line with the top pro man.

As you state, there are ups and downs for both large and small people.

Hopefully, Spirig will race more IMs (she's done one) and we can see how she does relative to bike and run times (Cozumel in 2014 (won it) she had a similar discipline profile to Rinny (OK bike, faster run))...she is almost identical in size to Rinny (2lbs heavier apparently at 117). Her 70.3 results suggest she could have a fast bike, but generally she has a very rapid run after good bikes. Incidentally, 70.3 Switzerland...Pooley came second behind Ryf with Spirig in third. Pooley (2:19:47) was close to Ryf (2:16:35) over the bike and ran a bit faster (1:17:01 to 1:17:55) but lost it due to the swim. Spirig was slower in both (2:32 and 1:20) over both, but this was back in 2014. Spirig has put in better times this year over 70.3. This year at Switzerland Pooley was 1 min slower than Ryf over the bike but ran 4 min slower as well. However, she focused on cycling this year for the Olympics.

Would be cool to see Pooley focus on IM now as well (have no idea if she plans to), after Rio and her return to cycling has finished (she has run a 2:44 open marathon so she has potential to go decently at Ironman).

Unfortunately I thought the same thing. It is possible/likely that she just put together the race of her life. Her run in previous years IM's have not been that stellar and probably not up to her capability. Her run has been her weakness but she just proved to the world that she can run with the best. She has zero weaknesses and those that are great.... have no weaknesses.

Absolutely untrue. Because of the world record attempt in Roth, the cameras were given explicit instructions to avoid giving any benefit to Frodo.

Ya, she had fastest bike and run splits and was only 4 sec behind the fastest swim split. She came close to reproducing Dave Scott's performance in October 1982 where he had the fastest splits in all three disciplines, but I would guess that there was considerably less competition on the men's side back then (3rd year of the race) than on the women's side now. In any case, Daniela certainly put on a very dominating performance.

Rapp runs turbo cottons. They only come in 24 or 26 mm. I believe he's running a 24/26 setup.

OK, I stand corrected then. Looking back at the early 80s results, it looks like it was Oct '82 when Dave had the fastest splits in all 3 sports, at least among the top 100 finishers. He went 50:52/5:10:16/3:07:15 to go 9:08:23, with Tinley 2nd in 9:28:28. This tri226.de site has all the Hawaii results back to 1978, and the language is actually in English. :)

Ha, I swam in college with the the fastest swimmer in 1982. Bill McCarthy who was a 200 fly guy. He finished about 200 m ahead of Dave Scott. I remember being surprised to see him get out of the water on the TV broadcast because it was about 4 years after I had stopped swimming. However, I don't know if he finished the race or not.

Now I see there were two races in 1982, so yeah, you are correct.
