IMPRESIONANTE, esto es la superación humana.

[lettisnet]

Can anyone explain, why the 'teamwork' they mention around 0:25:00 was so important to beat Craig Alexander? As far as I know, riding in someone's shadow is forbidden in an Ironman triathlon. Was it just for holding the pace? Psychological? Both?

[SMHS28]

@lettisnet You're right: drafting is not legal in Ironman racing. However, it is legal to ride in a non-drafting group; and there are strengths in doing that. Instead of holding back to save energy for the run, a group can more confidently gamble on riding faster. This tactic worked perfectly, as Alexander could not keep the pace on the bike, and he was never able to catch the leaders on the run. Macca, who orchestrated the attack, is a crafty racer and a student of the sport.

[bagargui]

@lettisnet It wasn't a matter of drafting, it was a matter of strategy. Macca knew he'd get beat on the run if Craig got there with fresh legs, so he went for that strategy and had it orchestrated with others ahead of time.
