How to Save Well Over 5 Minutes in an Ironman with Just a Couple Simple Tricks

DateWednesday, October 8, 2014 at 8:04AM

(Black is the fastest color)

The gang over at the Specialized Wind Tunnel released a video about how moving your bottles and gear to smarter locations can save some substantial time in a race.

They calculated that their recommendations can save you 76 to 77 seconds over a 40k time trial. Ok, but what does that mean in an Ironman?

I did some quick math and figured out this adds up to nearly 6 minutes over 112 miles.  5:42 to be exact.  That's like skipping T2 entirely.  Or imagine crossing the finish line completely exhausted, then Mike Reilly says, "Just another 5 minutes to go!"  

It sure would be better to be finished, right?
