Thank you for the advice. I'm a fighter through and through but always trying to be a little better and learn from things too!

Add to that, and seems to have slipped below the radar, that Frenchman Denis Chevrot running 2:36:02 recorded the fastest LD (IM or 140.6) marathon* ever, slipping ahead of Ben Hoffman. Lange goes into third ever fastest. It has separately been evidenced that the 26.2 mile Tulsa course was if anything a 100m long.
As an aside it would be excellent if both IM and Challenge encouraged organisers to get the measurements of distance to the many running mats reasonably accurate. The ones at Tulsa were 'all over the place' making the 'pace' column in the tracker useless (and swiftly ignored).

* Excludes IM Texas 2018: Edit (with thanks to @ajthomas) the run has been acknowledged as at least a km short.

The run at IMTX was not short. I had it at 26.1 and with the amount of UTurns it makes sense. If it was short at all it was not more than 100m, certainly not a KM.

The issue that year was drafting was not enforced. Several fewer matches burned on the bike lead to fast fast run times.

There was a lot of shots of Lange working impatiently on the bike like he was leading a tdf breakaway, while the chase was riding in perfect conservative form....then Lange seemed to be jogging the hilly run but the times were ludicrous, obviously he wasn't jogging

Also, the course got measured with a "wheel" 3 times before the race, the bike course was short by about 2 miles and it was probably the most mild day in the history of that race.

Hey, I watch quite a few of the live broadcasts and really enjoy what you guys deliver. As a spectator the time flies. for sure it can't be easy to keep that energy up thinking of continuous things to say about triathlon for 5 or 9 hours but you guys have it quite well dialled in. Thanks and chapeau!
