How will I do at Timberman?

So basically I’ve been “in training” since january and it’s led up to me racing Timberman. Why you ask? I do not know. I have to make a 12 hour drive up friday which blows the whole day when I could have raced numerous other 70.3’s around me. Anyways from what I’ve heard it should be an awsome race so I’m quite excited.

I’ve seen people play the prediction game and figured why not seeing as how its my “A” race for the year. So here are my stats:

18 year old male who’s been in triathlon for two years. I have done one past “mock” half-ironman which was in June and I failed to eat enough and blew up to a 5:11. This was also on a pancake flat course though. My splits were 28, 2:28, 2:04. I’ll be borrowing an aero-helmet and zipp 404 tubs, What do you think I will go at Timberman?

Don’t to forget to bring some cold-weather duds; the forecast is trending MUCH colder… think 40 degrees on race morning, topping out in the mid sixties. Be prepared.

as long as you use the aero helmet, I say 4:11. If you don’t use it, well then probably 5:58. So, somewhere between 4:11 and 5:58, depending on your helmet choice.

I predict a PR. Good luck!

PS 11 minute transitions? That’s some easy pickins for improvement right there.
