2h42 on the bike, 27th M50, chomping up those places as expected.

Sub 5 looking like a bit of an ask perhaps, would need to run 1h31

Dig in :mechanical_arm: power of the crowd etc etc

Hardest to motivate yourself when the target feels like it’s slipping - keep on it Jeff! 3.1km to go!

No roll down needed as 50-54 get 8 slots and I am 8th

Awesome work👍

The Estoril circuit is a really nice break isnt it?

What did you make of the run course? I was a bit worried with the elevation change but on the day it wasn’t as bad as I’d feared, if anything the variety in gradient was a good thing.

Great result, well done.

Brilliant @Matthew_Spooner :+1: congratulations.

Nice work sir :clap:

PS “Ironman 70.3 Marathon” is possibly the most confusing IM name

Great result @jeffb Sounds like it went to plan but the bike course was just a bit tougher than hoped for. Got to respect that run, it’s in Marathon after all! :clap:

Just looking at the results for Cascais 50-54 was faster for all of the top places than 45-49. I would have finished 5th in 45-49 and I would have won 55-59 easily. It seems that I was in a super competitive AG

It’s that age category. Drops off dramatically after 55. It’s absolutely bonkers.

don’t you believe that!

Great racing @jeffb

8 slots, that’s massive! How many overall were there @Matthew_Spooner ?

Anyway, well done. Another very accomplished race under your belt.

Saw it with my own eyes. The field for 55-59 at gravel races is about a third of 50-54, and it keeps dropping dramatically at each age group.
