«WIR MÖCHTEN EIN SICHERES UND FAIRES RENNEN ABLIEFERN»   So viele Regeln! Und dann noch unterschiedliche Auslegungen in unterschiedlichen Ländern! Hier kommt Klarheit. Die Wettkampfregeln im Triathlon, deren Interpretation durch die Schiedsrichter (und auch der Athleten) sorgen immer wieder für heisse Diskussionen und Emotionen. Dabei sind gerade auch Profis, die durch Strafen oder Disqualifikationen während eines Rennens ihren Zahltag verpassen, auf korrekte Schiedsrichter-Entscheidungen angewiesen. JAN FRODENO PROFITERT Beispiele sind unter vielen anderen die Profis Laura Philipp, Lionel Sanders, Svenja Thoes oder Braden Currie. Es gibt jedoch auch Fälle, die von harten Entscheiden verschont blieben: So Jan Frodeno bei seinem Sieg am PTO-Rennen in Milwaukee.   Mit Kathrin Petrow und Lars Sander, einem eingespielten Referee-Duo von Swiss Triathlon, spreche ich nicht nur über Aufsehen erregende Fälle von (scheinbaren?) Fehlentscheidungen, den Dschungel von Wettkampfregeln, deren (unterschiedliche) Auslegung, sondern auch über die komplexe Arbeit der Schiedsrichter beispielsweise am IRONMAN Switzerland in Thun und am IRONMAN 70.3 in Rapperswil. GUT ZUHÖREN BEIM BRIEFING Lars Sander, Head-Referee, und Kathrin Petrow, Technical Delegate, sorgen in diesem lehrreichen Gespräch für mehr Klarheit und ein besseres Verständnis für die Arbeit der Schiedsrichter. Sie ✅ raten dazu, beim Wettkampf-Briefing genau zuzuhören, ✅ geben Tipps wie man sich nach einer Strafe verhält ✅ und erzählen unterhaltsame Anekdoten. In einem sind sie sich einig: Die Regeln sind nicht dazu da, um jemanden zu bestrafen, sondern, so Lars Sander: «Wir möchten ein faires und sicheres Rennen abliefern.»   _________________ Das Wettkampf-Reglement von Swiss Triathlon hier: https://swisstriathlon.ch/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2023-Reglement-D_v15.pdf _________________ Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠von ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TriStory⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠ https://tristory.news.blog/ _________________ Kontakt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠tristory@gmx.ch _________________ TriStory ist auch auf ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠und ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ _________________ TriStory ist werbefrei und kostenlos - und soll es auch bleiben.

CP Media LIVE 9 MARCH 2023 with thanks to Team CP Partners @COFFEE CULTURE NZ Mike Phillips - We kick off the show tonight with the newly crowned New Zealand Ironman Champion - Mike Phillips. Mike went head-to-head all day with previous champion Braden Currie to finally pull away over the last part of run and to win by 3 minutes. We look forward to catching up with Mike to hear the inside word about his day unfolded, as well as find out about his preparation and nutrition. Brian Ashby – Brian Ashby was working behind the microphone this weekend rather than toeing the start line so had a different perspective on the day both in the elite race but also supporting age group athletes across the line. We look forward to Brian's insights on the event and also his training and racing tips for those looking at taking on this challenge in the future. Megan Parr – Megan completed her first Ironman over the weekend putting in a massive effort to cross the finish line 15 minutes prior to the cut off. As amazing as it is to hear how the elite's blast around the course the mental fortitude to keep on moving forward to complete the course is next level. Richard Greer – Backing up from Coast to Coast 3 weeks ago Richard had a crack at doing the double. With Ironman specific training kept to a minimum we look forward to finding out how his day went and what were the key learnings after making it to the finish line on Saturday.

Despite attempts to pull away in the first half of the swim, neither were successful in building a definitive lead.   Instead, a staggering 19 pros exited the water within 15 seconds of each other, led by Angert in 48:15 and Laidlow in 48:16. This tight pack included some of the most dangerous triathletes in the field, setting up the likes of Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, and Braden Currie in perfect position for a tactical race at the front of the field.   One minute and 15 seconds later, another large pack emerged from the water, containing even more strong cyclists capable of quickly bridging the gap. These included Igor Amorelli, Patrick Lange, Rudy Von Berg, and Magnus Ditlev.   A third and final large pack, four minutes down from the leaders, contained Matt Hanson, Chris Lieferman, Cam Wurf, Sebastian Kienle, Joe Skipper, and Lionel Sanders.   Laidlow was the one to take charge in the initial miles of the bike, setting an average pace of 27 miles per hour over the first 25 miles. Max Neumann was the only one willing to take the bait, staying just out of Laidlow's draft to avoid a penalty. Behind them, big groups stuck together as the crosswinds picked up through the lava fields. Fifty seconds down, the first chase group of 11 included Ditlev, Blummenfelt, Iden, O'Donnell, and Bakkegard; almost two minutes behind was a group of 18 that included contenders like Lange, Currie, Ben Hoffman, and Denis Chevrot.   At mile 30 on the bike, the massive groups continued through the rolling hills on the way to Hawi. With 42 men racing within 5 minutes of each other, space was hard to come by – and the referees noticed. As with the women's race on Thursday, the penalties began early and often, with Angert, Clement Mignon, Mathias Petersen, and Arnad Gilloux being the first to serve their five-minute punishment for position infractions. Leon Chevalier soon joined them for a one-minute penalty as well.   Soon, more setbacks started to snowball in the men's field. With each passing mile, Sanders saw the race get away from him as his position slipped from 4:42 down out of the water to 7:13 by mile 30. Colin Chartier, who was in the first large pack out of the swim, found it difficult to recover after an early flat tire. Lange seemed unable to jump on to the train of competitors passing him at full speed, and in a shocking twist, pre-race favorite Currie dropped from the race around mile 35.   Meanwhile, the men's race began to take shape near the base of Hawi as Ditlev went to the front of the race and took control. Behind him, Laidlow and Neumann could not match the effort, while countrymen and training partners Iden and Blummenfelt sat 30 seconds behind Ditlev, working together near mile 50.   Just after the Hawi turnaround, Laidlow reclaimed his lead, but Ditlev, Neumann, Blummenfelt, and Iden were hot on his tail. Further back, a group including Kyle Smith, Tim O'Donnell, and Jesper Svensson trailed the leaders by 2:30; 3:30 back from the leaders were Kristian Hogenhaug and Daniel Bakkegard. A big group of dangerous bike/runners sat 5 minutes behind the front pack that included Wurf, Chevalier, Skipper, Lange, Kienle, and Andreas Dreitz.   Near mile 90, disorganization plagued the chase group of Iden, Blummenfelt, Ditlev, and Neumann as they lost an additional 1:30 to the race leader, Laidlow. Further back, Wurf, Kienle, and Chevalier led a rally to try to get within striking distance of the front, putting 2:20 into the Norwegian group over a span of over 10 miles. As the race barreled toward T2, the chaos continued, with Ditlev receiving a five-minute position penalty at a time when most would be making their critical moves in a race.   Up front, Laidlow seemed to not know – or care – about what was playing out behind him. Instead, the young gun stayed focused on his own race, surging ahead. By mile 88, Laidlow's lead grew to 2:37; at mile 94, a 4:11 advantage.   Heading into T2, Laidlow smashed Cam Wurf's 2018 bike course record with a split of 4:04:36—knocking almost five minutes off the previous time. Behind him, the chase group was six minutes down, and the second chase had 8:30-9:45 to make up.   Laidlow set out on the run with a target on his back. The question then became: Would his bold bike strategy pay off, or would it end in disaster? Could he actually beat the notoriously fast Norwegian runners to the finish line? Could anyone? As the men's pro field moved through T2, the field shifted from large packs to a steady trickle. It was soon clear who had paced themselves well on the bike and who had burned their matches. Behind Laidlow, Blummenfelt and Iden led the charge, setting out at a 5:54 minute-per-mile pace to the leader's 6:13 pace. Behind them, O'Donnell and Kienle were the fastest movers in the second chase pack early in the run, along with Ditlev—finally released from his penalty.   As Laidlow made his way up the Palani climb, his pace slowed to 6:23. Iden and Blummenfelt powered on, checking their watches to ensure they were sticking to their staggeringly consistent 5:58 pace. With every footfall, they seemed to cut into Laidlow's lead. Neumann, looking to hold his own in his Kona debut, followed suit.   Slightly further back, strong runners like Kienle and Ditlev were working together as well, slowly making their way up through the top ten, through the first half of the marathon—as did Joe Skipper. At the halfway point, they found themselves in fifth and sixth place, with elder statesman Kienle offering words of encouragement to the young Dane as they ran together.   Between miles 11 and 16, the Norwegians' march toward Laidlow started to stall as the Frenchman found a way to staunch the bleeding. As he made his way out the Queen K, it seemed as if he found a pace he could comfortably sustain. At the turnaround in the infamous Energy Lab, Laidlow could see exactly where he was relative to his competition. He knew he had a lead of just over two minutes, but what he didn't know was whether or not the Norwegians had another gear. Anticipating a battle, Laidlow gathered all he could from the aid stations – cups of ice, a gallon bottle of water to douse himself on the scalding Kona pavement.   Indeed, Iden had just decided to drop his friend and training partner, pulling ahead in the Energy Lab just before mile 19, while Blummenfelt trailed behind. With less than eight miles to go, Iden broke out into 4:38 min/mi pace, laser-focused on the task ahead.   At mile 22, Iden gave Laidlow a pat on the back to let him know his time at the front was up. With a handshake and a smile, Iden made the pass, striding confidently to the finish line.   After the pass, it was the Iden show, as the Norwegian extended his lead to set a new course record with a time of 7:40:24 and a new run course record of 2:36:15. Not far behind, Sam Laidlow valiantly hung on for second place with a time that also broke the previous run record, 7:42:24. Kristian Blummenfelt would fade only slightly, but still stand on the podium with another course record time of 7:43:23.   “That was so freaking hard,” Iden said just moments after his record-setting finish. “The last 10K I was worried about the legend of the island killing me. Everything was going pretty smoothly until I caught Sam Laidlow. When I passed him, the island really tried to put me down. But I think my hat must be stronger than the legend of the island.   “That was so epic, and I'm so proud of Sam and Kristian making the podium. I'm not sure if I'm coming back here, this was too hard.”   What's New in the 303: Asking For a Friend, Is Anything Possible to Change the IRONMAN World Championships? Bill Plock Oct 12, 2022–I promise, this opinion is not rooted in sour grapes. I really think IRONMAN should consider either moving the championship race somewhere affordable with easier logistics, or go back to one day of racing and figuring out how to make it somewhat bigger and equitable for men and women. Much easier said than done.   Some have suggested having the men and women race at different times of year, in Kona, or rotating the men and women every other year. It seems to me keeping this format of a Thursday/Saturday race with 5,000 amateurs competing isn't sustainable or good for the race long term. And, I suspect it was quite hard on the island despite the economic windfall estimated at over a $100 million.   The IRONMAN World Championships is a very unique sporting event. It's really the most successful pro/am event in the world if you ask me. Sure golf tournaments usually have a VIP pro/am round before the tournament, but name a world championship where the best of all categories compete at the same time in the same venue.   What I fear with the new two day format, by more than doubling the number of participants and more than doubling the cost, the Golden Goose of triathlon will get squeezed too tight and stop laying the proverbial egg which lures age group athletes to dedicate their lives (and pocketbooks) to racing in Kona. And for marginal pro's with very little hope at a prize and footing their own bill, maybe they forgo Kona and the field shrinks?   After shopping condos for 2023 at unbelievably high prices, I know 303 probably won't be able to bring you first hand stories and celebrate the success of our well represented state of Colorado. I”m sure we aren't the only ones and I would fear, more importantly, if deserving athletes and their families forgo participating because of costs. I know that has happened over the years, but now it will probably become a reality more and more.   This race, Kona, is way more than a race. It's a celebration. It's a lifetime pursuit and a lifestyle. The red carpets are literally rolled out. Age group athletes feel like rock stars. And they are.   But the race needs folks like us, and volunteers, and fans and industry support. We all know it costs a fortune to attend the Olympics, or a Super Bowl. They are exclusive as well. But they are TV sports and most of the world is happy to watch at home. And those venues take place in large cities and are accessible by car. It's easy and affordable to be near the venue in most cases and feel the vibe. But not in Kona. You pay to get there or you don't. No drive by's happening there.   This year it seemed to go fairly “ok” logistically from all accounts but no doubt there were complaints. We were supposed to go, but our condo was mysteriously condemned due to “mold” in late July—I'm skeptical and think it went back on the market for double the rate. That's what happened to pro Joe Skipper who almost pulled out when his condo booking was revoked and they asked for three times more and he vented frustration on his IG account. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch27WEirBdO/   I am curious how the two midnight finishes played out and if it was electric like always. I can't imagine any men racing on Saturday hung out to cheer Thursday. I was sad to miss Mike Reilly's last call. I was bummed to miss all of it.   I'm torn because I loved watching the pro women race by themselves and get the attention they deserve and race under more fair conditions without the fast age-group men interferring and having more favorable weather. But as far as a race experience, I've heard some complaints about less aid stations because of less volunteers available and a few other minor things.   Said finisher and triathlon coach Lauren Vallee who will be featured on our podcast this weekend to talk about all this, “There was a notable decrease in volunteers, but that's expected given the demand this event takes on the community. We knew in advance where aid would be and given the opportunity to plan accordingly.  The run aid stations being farther apart certainly impacted peoples days, but I decided to race with a bottle and had no issues with getting anything I needed from one station to another.”   This race is already darn hard to qualify for, now it's darn hard to afford. With so many more participants, volunteers, and spectators converging on the big island with the same amount of bed space as always, does this just make the sport that much less inclusive than it already is? There is already a correlation between the high incomes of triathletes and participation, does this just makes it worse? It must.   Condo's for 2023 have more than doubled in cost to more than $500 per night plus fees for a one bedroom. I booked a two bedroom condo for this year (the one condemned), in the same building, for $225 per night.  And I'm just a guy with laptop. I don't have race fees (which are going up substantially next year), bike transport and all that goes with racing.   I really don't fault the tourism industry, it's a free market, take what you can get, and during Covid they got pretty much nothing. Thats how it works. And IRONMAN must see a demand of people willing to pay to play, but something has to give, and it will at some point.   I get the tradition of this race and importance of its heritage, legacy and the aspiration it provides. I get the mentality of “you can't move the Boston Marathon to Las Vegas and call it the Boston Marathon.” But this is the IRONMAN World Championship. It's not the Kona World Championship. It could be somewhere else like what happens with the 70.3's.   The solution is not easy, nor do I really have one other than being open to changing something to keep it accessible to not only athletes, but to fans, supporters, volunteers and others who want this sport to have the best championship possible.   I'm just asking for a friend, posing a question of what, if anything is possible.     TriDot Mark Allen Edition - LEARN WHY THE "GREATEST OF ALL TIME" CHOSE TRIDOT AND ENTER TO WIN A LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION TO TRIDOT & A NEW GARMIN FORERUNNER 955 SOLAR WATCH. Mark realized that the biggest limiter for coaches was the human brain's inability to assimilate that vast amount of data that were now available. The mere fact that this data was available wouldn't make his athletes better unless he was able to actually use it.   He began searching for a partner that could use data and technology to help take his coaching to the next level and deliver the most value to his athletes.   “As I was educated on what's going on behind the scenes, it thought this is mind blowing.

Kathmandu Coast to Coast: WRAP UP brought to you by CP MEDIA Bobby Dean – We didn't see this year's 5th seed on the start line in 2021, as he sat out the year due to injury. However we saw Bobby Dean back on the start line for 2022 and his 6th KMDC2C. Bobby was one of the youngest within the Top 10 field and made his presence known coming in 3rd behind Dougal Allan and race winner, Braden Currie. Vicky Jones – Vicky Jones the final person to get to the finish line in New Brighton on Saturday by beating all of the cut offs and in doing so completing an epic Longest Day Kathmandu Coast to Coast. She had a point to prove after breaking her boat in the paddle a couple of years ago which made getting to the finish line even sweeter this time. Ethan Halliwell – Completed this years Mountain Run in 3:34:42, just under 20 mins ahead of Ben O'Carroll. Ethan breaks down his race for us. Elina Usher – Lining up for her 17th Coast to Coast, Elina is no stranger to the Coast to Coast experience - with 4 Womens Longest Day titles and now 6th time placing 2nd. It was a tight race out front within the Elite women within only minutes separating race winner, Simone Maier, Elina and 3rd place Fiona Dowling. Braden Currie – Braden is this year's Coast to Coast Longest day champion and adding a 4th C2C title to his name. After COVID spoiled the plans for the now cancelled IRONMAN NZ, Braden was spurred on by Coast to Coast owner Mike Davies to hit the Kathmandu coast to coast starting lineup. So with a mere 36hrs of prep time, Braden dusted off his kayak and his multisport roots and headed for Greymouth! Braden began his professional racing career within C2C, racing 5 consecutive C2C's, with his last being in 2016, when he placed second to Sam Clarke, hanging up his kayak to enter the world of Ironman. Hitting the finishing chute with a 20 minute lead on defending Champion, Dougal Allan on Saturday, it was an epic race to watch. CP MEDIA HOSTS Matt Sherwood Richard Greer – @ric.greer www.coasttocoast.co.nz www.kathmandu.co.nz www.teamcp.co.nz @teamcpnz https://www.facebook.com/teamcpnz richard@teamcp.co.nz

A last gasp decision to contest the Coast to Coast paid off for Wanaka athlete Braden Currie - who won the gruelling South Island multisport race for the fourth time over the weekend. It was his most astonishing victory, having only decided to compete two days out, after learning his targeted event - Ironman New Zealand - had been postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions. Currie spoke to Corin Dann.

I had a chat with Braden over the phone. We talked about how he got into multi-sport, coming into the sport late, winning his first Coast to Coast and talked about his experience in the World Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii. This is a really interesting listen into the mind of an Ironman athlete!  

Today's show is supported by Generation UCAN and iKOR Labs. UCAN to help fuel you to the finish line and iKOR to help you out-recover the competition! I was reading this interview on Choose Mountains with this Boulder woman who was an athlete, a business owner, and Chiropractor, and ultra-runner. In that article she told the story of how a collegiate track career was sidelined by psoriatic arthritis preventing her from running. This sent her on a journey to figure out what was causing her inflammation. Which led to new eating habits and elimination of foods that caused inflammation. This eventually led to her being a healer, health and fitness coach. Anyway, I was intrigued by her story and I'm glad to be able to share it with you today, Dr Ellen KIndelsperger. Also in today's show: IRONMAN and other race announcements on COVID-19 IMNZ pro podium Colorado Classic Route Announced Specialized doing testing of a new bike chamois KHMTT next week Thanks to last week's guest, David Warden to talk to us about pacing and celebrating our 4 year anniversary.

While The IRONMAN Group’s mission is to provide exceptional, life-changing race experiences for athletes of all levels, from their first step to the finish line, we can only accomplish this by providing the safest possible environment, and safeguarding the citizens of our host communities. COVID-19 has substantially altered the global sports landscape and will have material impact on the mass participation industry in the immediate term. We want to reassure you that the health and well-being of our community is our primary concern. To this end, we are doing our part to communicate effectively and follow public health agencies and governmental authorities’ recommendations. We expect that there are going to be substantial and widespread event postponements in the coming weeks and months. The decision to proceed, restrict, modify or postpone an event will be based on availability of community resources and ongoing event-specific risk assessment in coordination with the relevant healthcare and government authorities and the IRONMAN Global Medical Advisory Board, an independent medical advisory board focused on health and safety. For events that will continue, The IRONMAN Group, along with the IRONMAN Global Medical Advisory Board, has outlined a series of pragmatic and practical actions designed to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 or any other infectious agent to athletes and to members of our host communities. These steps will help athletes achieve their goals while allowing communities to secure the benefits of hosting mass participation sporting events. They will be implemented worldwide at all IRONMAN Group events beginning March 19 and will continue indefinitely. Providing Flexibility to Athletes Certain races will be postponed or cancelled due to the outbreak and we will communicate these as soon as practical. Our goal will be to move the race to a date later in the year. We work in close partnership with the relevant public health authorities in the territories where the races take place and err on the side of safety for our athletes and the host community. If an event cannot occur on the scheduled date, we will take the following actions: Postponement: Registered athletes for events that are postponed due to COVID-19 by the local health authorities are automatically transferred to the rescheduled date. For those that the new date does not work, we will allow deferrals into the same event the next year. Cancellation: Registered athletes for events that are cancelled due to COVID-19 by the local health authorities are automatically deferred to the same race in 2021. Other options: We are vetting other options to allow displaced athletes to race in 2020 and will communicate those in due course. Athletes in Quarantined/Restricted Territories: For athletes in certain designated quarantine or restricted territories who have registered for races that take place before June 1, 2020 and have NOT been postponed or cancelled, we will aid in finding alternative races later in the season. For those who are sick, feel unwell, or have been potentially exposed to an infectious agent in advance of a race that will take place, do not come to the race; instead seek medical care. Once you have done so, contact the relevant Athlete Services representative for your race and we will attempt to find you another solution. Safe Event Experience In order to provide the safest experience for our athletes, we are instituting the following at our races, effective March 19.   Reinforcing Social Distancing in all elements of the event The hours of on-site event registration will be expanded. Athletes will be allowed to pick up their athlete race kit/race bib and immediately exit expo area. Athlete density will be decreased by increasing individual race space staging, corrals, etc. No-handshake behavior will be encouraged for the duration of the event. Athlete briefing information will be available digitally only. Non-core, high-contact services (e.g. wetsuit peeling) will be suspended.  Hygiene First Staff and volunteers who are interacting with participants pre-race, on race day and post-race will be provided gloves. Hand-washing stations and sanitation stations around the venue for athletes, volunteers and spectators will be increased No-touch waste disposal stations and receptacles will be rolled out as available. Frequently touched surfaces at race venue locations such as workstations, product distribution areas, tables and electronic devices will be cleaned regularly.

We will be comparing a newly designed chamois to a previous model. All in-person testing will take place at the Retül HQ office in Boulder, CO. We are looking for men and women who are avid road/gravel cyclists, riding between 5-12 hours a week, who are training towards a specific cycling goal. The study will consist of: – A Retül 3D Motion Capture Fit screening to ensure the rider is riding in a neutral position that will not affect the comfort of the chamois – In-studio test, where the rider will wear and ride in each for up to 15 minutes – Two weeks of riding in the chamois (one week per chamois), where the rider will log their rides with GPS to verify training volume. Karen Hornbostel Memorial Time Trial starts next week out at Cherry Creek Reservoir.

Last week I provided a brief explanation that it's a starch instead of a sugar. This translates to a steady release of energy instead of sugar spikes and crashes. It not only performs differently, it also mixes and drinks differently. I thought I'd share how I use the mixer bottle and how to fill water bottles without the mess.

Braden Currie's story starts with growing up on a farm in a small rural community in New Zealand. Braden had hard working parents who taught him that success in life requires relentless commitment through the good times and the bad. At school Braden didn't fit into the typical education system being diagnosed with dyslexia. Braden was often made to feel isolated and inferior to his classmates. It was a teacher who recognised Braden's passion and gift for Multisport who directed Braden's energies and efforts into Multisport.  Braden is currently one of the most respected endurance athletes on the planet. Braden Currie is the dual Asia Pacific Ironman Triathlon Champion, winning the title in 2018, beating one of history's greatest triathletes on his Ironman Debut; Javier Gomez and taking the Asia Pacific Title once more in 2019. Braden is a Red Bull athlete, New Zealand off and on road Triathlon Champion, 3x World Multisport Champion, 3x Consecutive Coast to Coast New Zealand Multisport Racing Champion and a loving father and adventurer at heart.
