why is there no talk about this?
i don't know the guy personally, but he's a co-worker of a friend of mine. some guy named coach tony R in boston.
apparently he went sub 8 (not sure by now much) for an indoor ironman. regardless of "flatness" and being able to push off the wall, that's quite the accomplishment if legitimate.
anyone know the details regarding splits? a few things i noticed raised yellow flags.
6 min video of the swim was up, i counted a few of the laps and they were in the 20-22s per 25 yards (assuming it's a yard pool since it's a local ymca and they are mostly in yards).
i figured, at that pace we're already 15 minutes behind schedule. transitions should be easier since it's all in one place, so maybe he gains back 5 mins.
his PR marathon is 3:14. looking at the video, he sure didn't seem like he was running a sub 7:30 pace. but videos are deceiving. lets say he runs 3:15. with his swim, that puts him around 4:30....
so he needs to ride a 3:30 to break 7.....
thoughts on whether this is even possible?
