I've got a 70.3 coming up in 6 weeks and I'm just curious to know how people's 10km OD run time compares to their 70.3 run time. I did a 70.3 in December and ran 1.37, but that was hot, 105 F and I struggled the last 8km with the heat. I did a OD last weekend and ran 41.20 (good conditions). I'd like to run low 1.30s or maybe even break 1.30. However some of the guys I race against are running well under 40mins for the OD and only running mid 1.30s for their 70.3 run time.... some of them aren't strong on the swim and/or bike so it's a bit hard to compare. I think sub 1.30 is unrealistic, maybe 1.32 - 1.34? Conditions will probably be mild, so good running weather. Thoughts?
BTW I don't have a recent half marathon/10km stand alone time. Haven't done one for 2 years. I did a 5km last August in 19.30, but am a bit fitter now.
