it’s an incredible run pace…this sport has come so far…
Yep they’re flying.
Shoes?
Must be 4 minutes over a marathon + the lessening impact/fatigue meaning they can run at pace deeper?
Although its still fast
in part…
the depth of field is helping to push them on…
Certainly, ex ITU athletes with a run background also must be helping push the field on. Its incredible really, sub 9 was the reserve of CW, now its just what they do.
Bike tech has moved on a lot since CW though? I dare say nutrition a little bit as well.
“my” athlete did 9.00:41 in her debut LD at Almere last week…off the back of 70.3 training…
a 3:21 first marathon…
Kat
Shes done.
Reckon she thought, she might see stars at that moment.
Sadly yes.
Can she keep going to get 2nd or 3rd
Nope. She’s shipped two minutes in two minutes.
Chelsea has sped up.
She’ll be lucky to keep third (KM)
Matthew’s is fucked. Dammit.
I’d like to hope she still keeps going, must only have a lap to go.
But having walked the walk of shame on that course it isn’t pleasant
Edit: running again, maybe it was just cramp but she’s a tough nut and in comparison to her accident that’s barely an itch!
Oh nooooo, come on Kat
Its going to mean a lot of dropped points for the championship even if she keeps 2nd.
my mentee Becky Goodwin, after a measured bike is picking off a few in F35-39…
How far to go? I made an early start on the freezer!
Maybe 5km or so. Race is done though
