if he changes his strategy from posting on ST about training and aerodynamics to actually training more then his chances will improve substantially

I dunno sub 2:10 isn't a cake walk by any means

That's a whole 5 months away. What's his starting point? Lifetime pb?

If he starts his EPO/HGH program now and trains hard, I think he can do it.

Just curious, why sub 2:09:59? Is sub 2:10 not fast enough?

oly swim pb: 23 min
oly bike pb: 1:04

the run is the catch, haven't DONE an only with any run training (last year I did two olys, but couldn't run due to injury)

But Ive done stand alone 10 mile race in under 7:30 pace in 2008

so the potential is there if I stay focused, don't get hurt, and if I can go on without the love of matty reed :(

As I see it he'd have to run 41 minutes off the bike and hope for a wetsuit swim.

He would also need to start in the "open" wave, not his age group wave. On the multi loop bike course it's really slow going on the 2nd and 3rd loops. He'd be doing good to break 1:02.

We'll see.

the 23 min PB was without wetsuit

As you know the transitons run outs and run ins are very long.

Why don't you plea bargain for a faster course?

I've got this all in a spreadsheet with transition times worked out

swim 22
t1 3
bike 59
t2 2
run 43

total 129


ive got padding in the transition times
the bike goal may be a pipe dream but there's no reason I can't pull a minute off the swim goal if I stick with swimming every day and work with jamdavswim a little more.

this is going to be tough.

Jeepers Jackmott,with all that expert advice you have been giving us on evey training topic over the last few months I would have thought that you could easily coach yourself to cruise to a 2:10 Olympic tri.

You gotta have more faith in yourself. ;-)


.

Jackmott, I don't know you, but for :59:00 bike, you better be a hell of a cyclist. I and for sure, don't ride Argon18 for crying out loud. It is not aero and you need all the help you can get.
I wish you luck, report back how it went. It will be fun.

the bike goal may be a pipe dream

Get a cycling coach.

Someone like Tyler Hamilton.

Wow really? I have a 40K PR of 56:10 in 1995, not in a triathlon mind you. Straight up 40K and I have to tell you, to have slowed to 60 minutes would still have been quite a hard effort. I had a handfull of sub hour 40K's in triathlons, but they were run disasters. To keep my run intact the best I could churn out was maybe a 1:02 and still have a solid run. Unless the cycling world has changed a sub hour 40K is still a very, very respectable and not easily attainable time. I don't know if I could break 65 minutes in an all out 40K at this stage in my life....doubt it.

I guess ST just has the best 40K tt'ers on the planet. So a sub hour 40K is now 'easy'. Wow.

I think ST is far from the best 40tters in the world, but there are a bunch of people around here who routinley break 60 for the 40k, I did it 6 or 7 times last year alone...and im far from the strongest cyclist on here, in fact im probably not even in the top 100 for strong TTers here on ST.

maybe "easy" was the wrong word, its a hell of an effort to break an hour for 40k, but I dont see it much differently from breaking 40 for a 10k (which I have also done). it is doable, but it takes some work and you gotta dig in.

Jack can do anything!

Will he be using a disc?
