Back in the spring, when Cam did Cannes, we talked about his run split being one of the better ones there. The general response was aside from Tim Don, there were no good runners in the field. At Cannes, Cam's bike was not really that fast. If I recall correctly he got outbiked by Don.
Fast forward 6 months to Kona 3 weeks after running a 2:46 in Italy, Cam holds steady on the bike with not even the fastest bike split, and then launches a steady 2:55 run. He looked like a real runner on the QueenK and coming up to Palani. His form was solid.
Legend has it that his coach was giving him and Kipchoge some of the same key workouts, just at a slower pace!!!
It was a great race by Wurf. Super patient on the bike not feeling (or maybe not having the legs after an IM 3 weeks ago) to blow the doors off, and a Stadler like 2:55 run. He beat a lot of guys who are much better runners at shorter distances.
I'd love to hear how much he held off on the bike (or not) to get that run nailed.
