fabes Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I think the other way around double it and deduct 1 hourI wish i could do that. That would mean i would do a sub 11 for the full but my run just does not allow for that
Bubblez Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I wish i could do that. That would mean i would do a sub 11 for the full but my run just does not allow for that Try running faster
fabes Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Try running faster I think instead of trying to run faster i will try walking less (alot less)

GSNieP Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Found a very funny (and true!) clip on Youtube. 1. I'm Training for an Ironman - YouTube1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B03dFMG8nR4Cached - Similar If the link does not work search for "training for Ironman" on YouTube. It is a black and white computer animated video clip
GSNieP Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 Can anyone give me the the total ascent of the cyling route?Looks flat . ..
mrmed Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I'm starting my training now for 2013 Good luck. I'm busy putting the final big weeks in before IMSA2012.
mrmed Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Can anyone give me the the total ascent of the cyling route?Looks flat . .. It is quite fast, but not totally flat. The first 13km of each loop are a gentle(ish) uphill. 780m total ascent for the bike. Edited March 15, 2012 by mrmed
pastapouch Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Can anyone give me the the total ascent of the cyling route?Looks flat . ..there is a 14k false flat 1km from the start...sucks especially if the wind starts to blow
camerons Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Can anyone give me the the total ascent of the cyling route?Looks flat . .. It's about 800m in total or about 275m a lap. The first 10km of each lap is up a long drag of a hill which is easy to maintain 30km/h up. Then there is a long gentle downhill followed by about 10km of gentle rolling and then the rest of the course is pretty much flat. The only enemy on that course could be the wind so make sure you've got a nice aero setup.
ADe Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I'm starting my training now for 2013 Same for me. Starting my training after the Two Oceans.

I easily averaged 30km/h on the 70.3 this year, what should a realistic average be for the Ironman?

That's a difficult question (an one I keep asking myself everyday). You need to save your legs more at IM, than 70.3 (for the much longer run) so I guess a realisitic average is still around 30-32km/hr.
limosine Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 A question on this topic---my wife wants to do the 70.3 and then the full one in 2013. What is the best tri bars I can get for her and where do i buy it ?
Pietervdw Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 clip-on bars are the easiest if you have a road bike.
