just a pretty cool song title to title this post.
If I run 6 min miles next year, That would give me a run time of 33:32. Or....5 minutes faster than this years run time. I avg'd 6:56 min/miles this year. So yes 56 secs faster per minute, but ive been close to that pace before in my life. With a lot of hard work, i think i can be back there.
All the Eppies champs have been great runners. Lin Feil, Mike Ammon, Don Hicks, Leonard Veare, Vic Vicari. They could all run.
Run: 33.5
T1: 1.5
Bike: 29.5
T2: 1.5
Kayak: 39
Thats a 1:45 exactly. Winning material. And honestly, I think I can bike under 29.5 and paddle under 39 on a good day.
I dont just want to win my division, I wanna bring the under 40 crew back to a respectable position. This year was the first year (i think) I beat ammon on the run, but he's 61! No under 40 ironman has gone under 1:50 since Veare. Thats the mark, going under 1:45 now that is the stuff.
