Tri Battle Royale (18th July 21)

So they said on commentary. Frodeno managed it!

Ah well.

I’m thinking he needs to catch and pass Frodeno get to T2 ten minutes ahead if he wants an “unassisted” win.

Frodo doesn’t look like he’s holding back as they kicked around the 320W number before the race.

Lanza, 2017 maybe, I nearly caught him…

Lionel was so cautious through it. Up out of the aero position, slowed right down, freewheeled.
Jan? Zoom. Full speed, full aero, right up high on the banking. Wow.

First lap Lionel got it a bit wrong, guessing he might have scared himself judging by lap 2

Just saw Lionel’s first pass - yeesh!

Not really a battle, assuming Lionel wouldn’t expect to lose 3 minutes to Jan in the first 100k of biking

Called this. It’s all a bit of a procession

I’m in the coffee shop. What’s the gap now?

That’s a shame. Ive been out running so missed that.

6:41 gap now. Awful weather. Jan is projected to ride 3:57!

If he does indeed ride 3:57 then a 2:40 marathon will give him about a 7:26…

23k to go on the bike, total time 4:10 atm

Jeebus, that’s a 90km ride time for some. FMD!

Lionel may have just gone boom, down to 210-220w, Jan still high 200s and occasional 300+ still

Jan starts the run with 4.43 on the clock, entertaining T2 watching him try to fish his detachable chamois out from his trisuit

It took him a while! I was wondering what he was doing… you’d expect him to break 2:40 for the marathon. 7:22 overall…
