@PatrickDelorenzi Күн бұрын

Good luck with your goal In my opinion, doing 120 on the bike is easy for the body to absorb but more than that it ensures that when you get to the run where doing 120g x hour is impossible, you will have some carry over fuel which really help Also, food for thought: Pro cyclist weigh very little but take in 120g+ per hour

Thanks mate. I was also in Hamburg. It was my 2nd full Ironman & I finished sub11 (age group 50-54). Looking to try for sub10 next year. Did you pick Hamburg for sub10 specifically because flat? Do you think a flat course is better for a sub10 attempt? Take care & thanks for sharing 👍

@PatrickDelorenzi Жыл бұрын

Hi Stuart! Yes I picked hamburg for that reason but also because being early in the season, I could then focus on other less specific / more adventure related events for which training might be less methodical. I think a flat course is better, but don't count me on that because honestly riding at constant power for 5 hours is not easy. Also a very flat course is subject to wind often. Maybe a slightly more rolling course might be better, just to break up the effort with some downhills. I would def not attempt it on a course with more than 600-800m of elevation though. I think the only thing that could make hamburg faster overall would be a Sea swim in a lagoon for the added buoyancy, and shorter transitions. Happy training!

@stuartbennett4476 Жыл бұрын

Alright & thanks. I was eyeballing Frankfurt next year but it has 1200m rolling bike course. Maybe Hamburg would be best choice again then (I live in Hamburg 😊). Good luck with the adventure training. I will also ride gravel for the rest of the year 🤙🏻

Hi. I’m looking at the E-117 and I found your content. I’m tall (6’3”) with long legs (36” inseam) and wondered what your height is? I can’t try the bike where I live but have decent knowledge of fit and there’s not many options in event for “entry” tri bikes. I also have trouble with low stack height and looks like a good fit for us tall folk. Any insight would be appreciated.

@PatrickDelorenzi 11 ай бұрын

Totally agree with the stack height thing! It’s one of the reasons I chose it to have more wiggle room. I’m 190cm and xl is smallish. I would recommend the e117 (disc just for a safety factor) as your first tri bike, it still serves me well. The only reasons I would want to upgrade the bike would be having more storage space, but this can be fixed with some aftermarket 3d printed boxes you can find online

hi pat, can ask you, with motivv, ironman plan. there are a few 4 hr runs. Did you ever do 4hr runs? it seems crazy to me

@PatrickDelorenzi Жыл бұрын

Hi Rod! Your question touches on a subject that I literally yesterday pointed out in the Discord group: yes, in my opinion too, 4 hour runs are insanity. I would never do a 4 hour run in training (it would mean running a 50k 😅, and often in the plan there are multiple of these runs on back to back to back weekends). That would mean running 4-5 marathons for me in a training block which I will never do and as far as I am aware of, nobody runs more than 30-33km in training. The risk of injury and the recovery cost is just too high. I think it's something they still need to sort out (or at least definitely dial back) in the app backend. What I do is take the key long run (27km), see what date it's on, and in the weekends prior to that I make sure I build up to that distance; for example this sunday I did 1:50h with 1 hour easy, 30 min race pace, 20 min easy. Next week I will do something like 2:15 with 40 min race pace, then a recovery week (maybe do 15-17km), and the weekend after that will be the main key run (27-30k with race intensity stuff). Also I don't do the split runs, I might be losing on some gains but i prefer to do 1 single run with race pace stuff in it. So I would just say to use our best judgement regardin gthe run volume, and bear in mind that the vast majority of people as a longest run in an ironman build have 25-33km at most. Happy training

So I’ve used form swim goggles before but returned them because they view bothered me in the pool and it disoriented the walls on flip turns. What’s your honest opinion on using these in open water? I could see them being very helpful in this instance to maintain pace. I’d consider buying them again just for that.

@PatrickDelorenzi Жыл бұрын

They are SO ANNOYING in the pool! I hate them! Worst peripheral vision ever. I’m not sponsored or have any affiliation with them so I will give you my honest opinion: for open water they are a GAMECHANGER in my opinion. Having pace and even just total time really really helps, even in just understanding roughly at what stage of the swim you are. Also in open water the peripheral vision problems disappear, and the mirrored coating is just the right tint for sunrise swims, but would also work in a cloudy situation which is not a super common thing. If you want to max out your gains in the swim section relative to your potential, I think they are a solid upgrade, but only after power meter and carbon shoes

Thank you man! I mean, as long as someone keeps it real and respectful, not saying “I qualified for the Ironman world champs” and tried to imply and equate that qualifying for Kona 2019 is the same as qualifying this year… it’s not like we have any choice! A thing I did not expect though, is they are really struggling to fill in the womens kona slots, whereas I think next year that won’t be the case for the men’s slots, which will be even more hyper competitive to reach. Low 9 at champs? Bro have you seen the course? Those climbs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the comment and have a great day!
