I can ask him this weekend at 70.3 Tassie, I'm pretty sure he plans to come and watch. Though I have a feeling you pundits are going to be disappointed.

As it happens, I think he just likes swimming!

Ask him if Dev is correct that Cam would defiantly kick his ass in an 180K time trial.

I love that you’ve been on this forum for so long! Yes, please give us pundits some insider info. And tell Birtwhistle that Dev Paul says he’s tall enough to win Kona.

Speaking of, what is Jake’s Aussie nickname?

Also, what do you think of The Chats? You like the heavy stuff, but what about the irreverent?

Josh and I know each other from a decade ago at this point so he likely knows where I cam coming from (he can choose to disagree, since he himself is one of the exceptional tiny guys). All those featherweight guys from ITU moving to Ironman also have some challenges replicating the same results going longer. There are some exceptions, but not the general rule. Maybe Richie can be an exception.

Every time, we get someone coming from Protour to long course tri, once they start mixing all three sports, they don't dominate on the bike as they used to.

Cam is exceptional moving over to tri. Between his rowing background and being a larger protour guy, he's more built like many top long course racers.

David, pretty sure Iden is 5'10" (or very close) and more like 4-5 kilos heavier than Porte at race weight. That adds up to 20 extra watts to give on the bike at 4W per kilo cruising effort.

Porte is 20sec per 100 faster on average than cam in the pool ////

Where did you hear that? I watched his swim video and would be willing to bet anything he is not 20 sec per 100 faster than wurf. You know the guys that are really that fast, they go 46 for ironman swims, and that aint Port. In fact, just from looking at his stroke, would say he is not even as fast as Wurf is, but will wait for someone that actually knows his swim to chime in here..

Wasn’t Porte part of junior Australian itu team or something? Before he did cycling only. And before that it appears he was a swimmer according to wikipedia.
