If you can't run a 1:10 at least, you can't win big 70.3s anymore. The quality of racing is so much higher than even a few years ago.
Looks like he's gone 1:11 a few times, but his 1:06 at the PTO this past weekend was really far off the winning pace and about 5 minutes slower than his collins cup time he ran in 2021.
It seems like he's getting worse when he should be getting better. While I agree that he's not KB or gustav, he should be doing a lot better. I think he needs to get a new coach and try something else because this route isn't working.
how do you think that you know better than he does.
its good that you think, as this is what a forum is about , but how much have you seen of his training how much do you know how he communicates with his coaches ... ie he has more than one coach which one do you want him to drop .
sounds to me your approach is a bit simplistic , change for the changes shake. and of course it does not have to be wrong but i guess a bit more of an evidence based reasoning would be better .
Oh I obviously don't know the whole picture, I'm providing the most simplistic overview. He's going in the wrong direction in terms of performance. Sometimes a coaching change can make a huge change. He's been with Jim Vance since the Olympic days. It's probably time to try something else because to me it seems like he has a decent pedigree to be competitive even in these big fields.
Obviously I don't know anything though, so perhaps he's on the verge of a huge breakthrough. So my approach is simplistic because I have never claimed to be an expert on the topic, hence why I was hoping others who do have that knowledge could shine light on what he could do to improve.
