his race was done at the 60 k mark of the bike

I would have won but for Lange drafting

There were no winds

Though he admits to happily drafting in the swim and he worked as a team with starky

Did you actually read the race report? Doesn't say anywhere that he would have won without the drafting or if the conditions were different. In fact it says (bold for emphasis):

Since when in the hell did it become against the rules to draft in the swim??

Yes I did, he does not say it overtly, but it is in the sentiment.

Making the point, Lange did not actually draft, Wurf got a free ride in the swim and then worked all day with the best cyclist in the sport.

Are you wurf's brother

If I ever meet Cam I’m buying him a beer...and I’m going to use the money I won off of Monty (he had Sanders doing much better than he did) to do it. :)

Well he can't claim a breakthrough with his Marathon time when he's running in 70F and no humidity...go do IM Lanzarote, Philippines, Taiwan etc.

Lol did you even watch the race?

LoL did you even look at his data

Sorry I'm not biting as it seems you're just trolling...

You are the one who started with the teenager Lol stuff.

look at his blog he blames everyone but himself

he overdid the bike

was not run fit enough

LOL troll...

mate what exactly is your problem. If can't have civil discussion without making it personal don't read or don't post.

The guys power went from 330 to 390 to 270

Then he got stuck with the run he got stuck with

Also if you review this thread you will see you are doing a fine job of trolling and reeling me in

Since macca retired the professionals in ironman are so fu@king boring.

Then wurf and sanders come along and you lot bag them out.

Jesus some of you will never be happy in life.

I'm not bagging Wurf I'm trying to defend him?

Trol la la la la

When the "sentiment" you're reading from his blog directly contradicts the words he actually wrote I think it's fair to say you're reading it with a fair amount of personal bias and preconceived ideas.

Best race report ever. Handy Andy and pigs in the mud, just made my day.

to talk serios, Wurf NP is 303w and Weiss NP is 334 still slower by 2+ minutes

http://www.srm.de/news/triathlon/ironman-world-championship-2018/

Weiss is 8cm taller and 8kg heavier

Didn't wurf boast that he told Kienle to sit back and save his legs for the run to break Jan's race record? Now he puts up that "lange was clearly working with his team mate, with 4 riders between all at 12 meters to make it less obvious" as a conspiracy? Right

Unfortunately the conditions didn't suit him
-no wind, tail wind... Easier for runners
- he swam 50 minutes, less people to work with
- no Jan and Kienle to work with

Is there a medal for champion of training? ... 16 ironmans in 2 years between training blocks with Chris Froome and full iron distance training days, 40 hour training weeks, so that shows amazing capacity! Maybe he could try training less to race fresh?

Considering he only started triathlon 4 years ago 9th is pretty decent result!
