With the top five men and the top five women
from Kona.
It's pretty cool.
I'll take you along.
You'll see what Winnipeg is like in the winter.
You know, you all might not think it,
being from
not frozen parts of the world.
(upbeat music)
You want to make some videos.
What's up Trainiacs, this is out.
So, you know what that means,
if you've been around for longer than about five days.
It means that there is some cool stuff
happening out on the inter webs in the world of triathlon.
We're gonna dissect it right here.
Now, what came out just recently
is the 2017 IRONMAN World Championship Interactive
Quarq Qollector Pacing Analysis.
You see that.
Basically, what this guy Ryan Cooper from Training Peaks did
was he took a bunch of
time data from, I believe, all of the pros in Kona
as he created these fancy, schmancy graphs that we can see,
how the race unfolds with the top five men
and the top five women from Kona.
It's pretty cool.
Now, I haven't read his analysis of it,
because I wanna go in fresh.
I don't want to be tainted.
I'm pure folks.
This is nothing but Taren Goods.
Hang on my drywall guy.
Hey, Grant.
Hey, if it works for you, if could get ya to ...
Get your guys to do the ceiling.
(laughs)
Little bit of work for Triathlon Taren HQ
that I gotta do.
Get it ready for drywall guy.
Drywall Grant.
You gotta have a drywall guy.
Anyway, let's look at how the race played out.
Shall we Gracie, right?
Okay, so what we've got here is Daniela Ryf in blue.
Lucy Charles in green.
Sarah Crowley in red.
Heather Jackson in
teal and Kaisa Sali in purple.
Along the left is the time gap
and then along the right is the altitude.
The dotted line
that is the end of the bike.
Along the bottom is the time
from the beginning of the bike.
The swim isn't included in this.
So, one thing that we can see here,
in the blue and the red, to illustrate how this works.
Is that Sarah Crowley said, she came out into the bike,
basically, right with Daniela Ryf
and wanted to hang on her wheel
and not lose sight of her,
no matter how hard
Daniela Ryf went.
And you see that throughout the course of the bike,
Sarah Crowley was basically, just right
in behind.
Just a slight gap.
Then here, about 40 K from the finish of the bike
is when, boom, Daniela Ryf took off
and she decided that she was gonna try to overtake
Lucy Charles and get in front of her,
coming into T2.
You can also see that Sarah Crowley tried to stay with her,
she tried.
Good effort, Sarah.
Next week, we have a podcast lined up with Sarah Crowley.
Mmmmmm, stay subscribed to this
or check us out, Triathlon Taren Podcast.
Make sure you subscribe to make sure
you don't miss that.
Oh and
go and subscribe to Sarah Crowley's YouTube channel.
She's got a YouTube channel
and she wants me to help her get over 100 subscribers.
I think we can do that Trainiacs.
Make sure you go comment on one of her videos
and say Triathlon Taren sent ya.
So, hook her up.
She seems so nice.
So, she tried to hang on,
but Danielea Ryf, in the end, showed her bike prowess
and Sarah Crowley(click) pittered out
and there's a gap created.
You also see
that Lucy Charles actually gained a fair bit of time
on Daniela Ryf in the first, say, 40, 50K of the bike.
Then basically, just held it.
Then once Daniela Ryf, boom, turned on the afterburners
the gap between the two, this isn't their speed,
this is the time gap remember.
The gap between the two started narrowing up,
so by the time into T2,
Daniela Ryf had few minutes on Lucy Charles.
Heather Jackson, actually had a really good bike.
She just slowly gained time,
slowly gained time throughout
and then after about 50K, or so,
it looked like she turned on the juice,
pushed some serious power.
Until there's about 40K left
and then she came really, really close
to being right with Daniela Ryf.
But, boom, pittered out.
Couldn't keep pace with that hard, last,
final 40K timed trial that Daniela Ryf talked about.
Kaisa Sali, who's known more for her running
than her biking, same sort of thing.
She tried and tried to hold on
until about the halfway point.
This peak here.
Is the halfway point at Hawi.
She wasn't able to keep pace
and that's when she started backing off
and lost quite a bit of time.
After this point here, we get into the run.
Daniela Ryf had the fastest run of the day.
And she just gained time over, and over, and over.
Mile after mile.
While even though, Lucy Charles still had a good run.
She just consistently lost time.
As did Sarah Crowley.
As did Heather Jackson.
We see that Sarah Crowley and Heather Jackson,
down here, they had a little battle.
And on the Queen K Highway, coming back,
was when heather Jackson and Sarah Crowley
were battling it out side-by-side.
You can see they were like neck and neck,
almost through the entire run.
Then in the last few miles, Sarah Crowley pulled away.
Kasia Sali, as I mentioned, is known more for her running
and she just gained slight bits of time.
Basically, keeping pace with Daniela Ryf,
from the looks of it, for two-thirds of the run.
But Daniela Ryf just consistently (click,click,click)
knocked off those miles
and Kaisa Sali even couldn't keep up.
In the men's race, we've got some
really big swings here.
We've got Patrick Lange.
We got Lionel Sanders.
We got David Mcnamee.
We got Sebastian Kienle.
We got James Cunnama.
You can see that the super bikers,
Lionel Sanders and Sebastian Kienle,
started at the same time.
While the better swimmers,
but people that are known more for their run,
Patrick Lange, David Mcnamee, and James Cunnama,
they all came out of the water, basically together.
Biked together, because Lionel Sanders
and Sebastian Kienle worked together to keep up to them.
Just before Hawi, the super bikers, obviously,
took over the non bikers
and consistently gained time.
Now, James Cunnama, you can see that he let
Sebastian Kienle and Lionel Sanders pass him
for a few miles and then he tried,
tried, tried to work hard,
get back up to them.
Didn't quite do it
and hung on within about sniffing distance for a few miles,
but eventually tailed off.
Meanwhile, David Mcnamee and Patrick Lange,
who aren't nearly as good a cyclist's
as Kienle and Sanders and Cameron Worf,
who hammered it.
They just consistently lost time all the way
up into T2 and look at this huge gap
between Patrick Lange and Lionel Sanders
and Sebastian Kienle.
Like 10 minutes, when I was in T2 getting footage,
Patrick Lange came by and I got footage of him,
and I was like, eh.
Might as well just get some junk footage of Lange,
he's so far back, he's not even gonna be a factor.
Well, was I wrong,
because look at this.
Boom.
All the way through.
For the first few miles David Mcnamee and Patrick Lange
ran together and then
at about a third of the way through the marathon,
like eight miles in,
as they're coming out of town.
I actually saw this, I was right (snap) there.
I saw Patrick Lange go up
Pulani Road, out into the Queen K Highway
and bam.
He hammered it
and look at this pace that he started gaining.
First he passes James Cunnama.
Then he passes Sebastian Kienle.
Then, with about three miles left,
he passed Lionel Sanders and still
boom, gained a huge amount of time.
James Cunnama lost time throughout the entire run.
Not being known for his run.
David Mcnamee gained a fair bit of time.
Sebastian Kienle had a terrible run,
fading very hard in the end,
and Lionel Sanders,
even with that
hitchy foot strike that he had,
where he said he was dragging
his right foot along the ground.
He still
kind of hung on.
So, I am just a complete junky for data like this.
Like, I'm looking at lines on a screen
and geeking out over
understanding more about how the race went,
and I was there.
That was cool.
Alright gang.
I gotta go and run a small errand.
Relates to the drywall guy.
Alright, it is slippery and slide-y out there.
Just wait, here.
I'll take you along.
You'll see what Winnipeg is like in the winter.
(upbeat music)
You know, you all might not think it,
being from not
frozen parts of the world,
but this was a beautiful ride.
I like that a lot.
A little sloppy.
A little slushy,
but nice,
nice,
I'll take it.
(upbeat music)
Whew. We got some insulated walls.
Well Trainiacs, we got some insulated walls, everything.
That wall.
We get a new garage door with a little bit more
insulation, fitting a little bit tighter soon.
All the windows are sealed.
That main door,
sealed up.
Mmmm. Yeah.
I got my drywall guy coming here very shortly,
over the next week or so.
He's gonna do the ceiling insulation,
the baffles and the rafters.
He's gonna do drywall on the ceiling.
He's gonna do something
very special for treatment on the walls.
Oh. Triathlon Taren HQ.
Oh, oh. Getting close, getting very close, gang.
Later Trainiacs.
Hey dogs.
