Lionel Sanders 1:09:54 on the Syracuse 70.3 run
Quote | Reply
That's a ridiculously fast time on any course but that's just flat out insane on the Syracuse 70.3 course which is a really tough run course. Basically 5 minutes faster than the next fastest run and 9 minutes faster than the third fastest run.

I think he had the same uber fast run split in Raleigh 70.3 as well.

Unbelievable, he took 10 minutes out of yoder's lead over 13 miles, too bad he came off the bike almost 12 minutes down! Looking forward to seeing how he does in Tremblant - I assume he'll have the points after this one.

Pretty crazy since it is such a major outlier. Hopefully he can speed up a bit in the swim and/or bike.

He actually rode quite well at Raleigh...... He shot by me like a bullet about 5mi into the ride, with a speed that left me just thinking "who the F is that?" Swim could use some work but not terrible at all

On THAT course? Wow...

Or he went left after T2 and cut through straight to the first hill trough the meadows.

Impressive bike and run legs mister!
Canadian strong!

After having looked at the splits I see he was about 3 minutes off FOP on the swim. Bike was quite good. Didn't realize he came in 2nd at first, don't think it was posted by the OP.

Yeah that must be it...he cut the course ::))
Actually, in Looking at the splits of the top 12 or so men...He would have come into T2 in about 10th spot and then went and reeled in all but one. And some of these guys were running a 1:17...1:18  so NOT walking - given the course- so these guys all got a front row perspective of what a 1:09 looks like when it goes by you !

Flying!!!! but this is what the top guys do now. If you want to be a big player at 70.3 worlds (or Bahrain...will be interesting to see which has the better field) you need to be 1.12 or below (unless your a monster biker).

I think it would be fair to say that a sub 1.10 is the equivalent to a sub 30 in ITU??

he made Andreas Raelert look pretty sluggish at Muskoka 70.3 last year running 1:10 after out-biking the rest of the field

I was wondering the same thing when Frodeno went sub 1:10. Probably more rare than sub 30's though.

Edit: I realize that both are quite rare but to an extent sub 30's have become quite common among the top 3 in WTS races.

Re your edit: they are 'quite' common now, although WTS courses tend to still be short. I.e. Yokohama was 75m short (this was first-hand from a coach who measured the course with one of the wheel things).

In the last few years I've definitely noticed that the run times are coming down in 70.3. 1.15s don't seem to cut it anymore

I've had a front row seat to the Lionel Run Show on many occasions. That wasn't the first time he's blown past me late in a race. Check out his 70.3 run record:

Muskoka 70.3 - 1:10:58 (not a fast course)
Texas 70.3 - 1:12:09 (after flat tires took him out of contention)
St. George 70.3 - 1:12:18
Raleigh 70.3 - 1:09:56
Syracuse 70.3 - 1:09:54
+ countless local short course results

Even so, his run at Syracuse 70.3 was unreal. Two huge climbs, grass, gravel, 3 turnarounds... all the makings of a very slow course. Scary to think what that translates to on a flat course... He has got to be the most consistent, if not the most dominant, runner in 70.3 right now.

Another awesome one for you too yesterday Cody!

Lionel was around last weekend and did a short course brick after a huge swim workout.
30 minutes @ 300+ watts! then 5k in 15:45
8 minutes rest
30 minutes @ 300+ watts! then 5k in 15:32.

Lionel is lacking nothing in terms of dedication and motivation to get better, faster, stronger. Monster athlete and still very early in his career.

Cody,
Congratulations on your race.

If you had to rate your 5 hardest 70.3 runs, what would they be and where does Syracuse fit in there ?
