Hier noch was zum Rennen. Hoffe, es ist mittlerweile nicht off-topic
Zurückgehalten beim schwimmen, überflutete Radstecke und 2x Dixieklo beim Laufen. Da geht noch was!

Olav Aleksander Bu, Blummenfelt’s coach on the ground in Cozumel and a coach with the Norwegian Olympic team, says that in reality the conditions weren’t as perfect as the internet spectators might speculate, and there is clear room to go faster.

The swim, he said, was known to be fast, sure, but Blummenfelt could have swum 1-2 minutes faster and held back because it was his first-ever Ironman. “We already discussed prior to the race, as this is his debut, rather go safe since it was going to be a long day,” he said. Plus, T1 was actually a very long run.


The rain that caused the heavy currents in the swim also caused wet roads and flooding on the bike, leading the lead group to slow down because of big puddles and the need to avoid crashes among the age-group field on the second lap. “Under ideal conditions, with a dry track, he could have gone >5 min faster on the bike,” said Aleksander Bu.

On the run, it’s also been noted that Blummenfelt made two port-a-potty stops, though, according to his lap timer on his watch, they were just 43 and 41 seconds—proving he does everything fast.
