    Alan ryans race report from Germany

    http://www.triathlonireland.com/index.php?id=107&nid=833

    After reading it i get the impression he is either

    A. Naturally talented!!!!
    B Or telling some little fibs about the amt of training he has done

    Am i way off?

    Seems like a nice guy all the same.

    he has been at it years and training solidly for years. don't underestimate the cumulative effect of training properly for donkeys

    Alan comes across as a very understated guy, who doesnt preach about the training he does.

    Lance is winning IM Nice. Having lead out of the swim he is powering away on the bike through the Nice hills at a very high cadence. Oh no wait....he hasn't actually started the race....shame :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭hf4z6sqo7vjngi


    So next up is Austria and we have 3 boardsies lining up. Best of luck to each of them.
    Oryx - 0280
    RedB - 1779
    Handangeo - 1559

    Non wetsuit swim in Austria confirmed this morning. That'll change things. Must be savage warm.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I can report it is 37 degrees predicted for race and feels that warm now. Times out the window just a matter of survival out there. :)

    Saw a tshirt that said 'Death before DNF. That will be my mantra. Lets hope it does not prove apt.

    RedB in 2:13 and handangeo in 1.48 - no sign of Red on the bike as yet, hope all is well there...


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    and 1:28 for Ceepo who's going strong in the early stages of the bike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    All Boardsies out on the bike and making progress. Swim times slow across the board but fair play RedB, 2:13... you made the cut off dude, now enjoy the rest of the day in the sun :) Ceepo going well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,830 ✭✭✭catweazle


    Scary the difference the non wetsuit swim makes - there's a few out there that are well down on what I would have thought they would have done the swim in :eek:

    +1 from what I can see of the large LTC crew over there 10-20 mins slower. I noticed the Pros took 50mins which is 4-5 mins off their norm too..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭hf4z6sqo7vjngi


    Go team Boards. The non wetsuit swim is a real eye opener how it can damage your split time. At least its behind them now and they can enjoy the bike and run.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    Kevin Thornton is an uber swimmer and he did 57.. goes to show. He is first in off the bike too with a 5:08, conservative? It looked like they were swimming against a flow coming into the swim finish?

    Katie Cooke having a super race too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    Boards Gang

    Red B just over half way on the bike, 91km in 5:57 total

    Handangeo having a solid bike, at 125km in 5:49 total

    Ceepo at 145km in 5:46 total, if he has run legs after this, could be interesting

    Oryx our resident hoochie is at 91km, approx 17 minutes ahead of RedB! Go Girl!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭Izoard


    Great to see Red out on the bike- was getting a little nervous there...

    Fantastic stuff!

    Looking at some of the pros bike splits they look a little slower than i would have expected, perhaps bike is back to 180km. I think it was 175 last year? Graves seems to be dying a death on the run.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,888 ✭✭✭Dory Dory


    Regarding wetsuits....not only will your time be slower without one, but I suspect the bike (and possibly the run?) might suffer a bit from extra energy expended during the swim.

    All four boardsies are doing great!!!! :)

    Some impressive times all round

    Just shows you how much fine you'd have in a proper swim without the suit big man ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭hf4z6sqo7vjngi


    Oryx - Through 144km on the bike
    RedB - same as Oryx
    Handangeo - 5:50 bike and onto run
    Ceepo - 5:26 bike and 5.4k into run and moving well around 4:50km pace


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,197 ✭✭✭elvis jones


    Oryx gone through 156k !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,888 ✭✭✭Dory Dory


    Oryx and RedB are probably side by side right now letting the f-bombs fly!!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,584 ✭✭✭✭tunney


    Anyone know the bike course length?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,197 ✭✭✭elvis jones


    180.1 according to the tracker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,888 ✭✭✭Dory Dory


    Bike = 180.1 km


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,830 ✭✭✭catweazle


    For balance I see another boardie Mayoroadrunner is going well in the Outlaw Iron distance Triathlon. I expect this guy to have a good crack at a sub 10 effort and a 1.10 swim is a good start in his weakest discipline.

    I am finding it difficult to understand the race tracking system though, bib number 262 :confused:

    Oryx bike done !

    On to the strongest area now !

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,888 ✭✭✭Dory Dory


    BOTH Oryx and RedB done with bike at 9:35!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,888 ✭✭✭Dory Dory


    Ceepo doing well....but I don't see any run splits for handangeo. :confused: Should be some run splits.....

    Wow people won't like an accurate course. Would the record have been set on this course last year?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,454 ✭✭✭mloc123


    180.1 according to the tracker.

    But what length is it really?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,888 ✭✭✭Dory Dory


    Handangeo....2 and a half hour bike to run transition???? That's what the tracker says. Either something's fecked up or he had an issue.

    He's going savage. That was some swim time. Cannot understand the tracker either. No bad for his first long distance.

    10.17 finish - not showing his overall bike or run times - I am guessing he will take that :)

    No correlation between tracker and course length. Am saying course same as last year judging by fast bike splits. Cant believe thecamt of Irish doing the race. Must be biggest ever.

    Thank fook he's out of the picture for Humbert, I'd say Kona is a real possibility for MRR.
