Did you use a GoPro camera on the front and back (did you get permission, who cares). How did you mount the front and back camera? Did you use a scan disk 2gb card and did you edit it, if so how? How did you get the video into the split screen mode. I think this was a really original idea and interesting to watch. I like watching the rider in front go from the front camera to the rear camera as you pass. How do you tell the go pro to go into 8 times speed?

@springin2tri

Yes gopro front and rear(sd cam), permission no don't care,

Using gopros tubing mounting kits is how I mounted them.

I used 8 gig sdhc card in each with litium 3 hour AAA batteries(before gopro hd cameout)

I used quicktime pro to do split screen and used imovie to do 8x speed.

used 2 gopro up front since one won't cover whole bike back only lasted 3 hours.

I had vhold Countour hd on my helmet as well as olympus handheld waterproof for swim

Yes, I saw people draftingbut I saw people being called for penalties that were NOT drafting. One male official didn't even give the people time to drop back before they called them. It was ridiculous. It was like they were trying to make a point to the wrong slow people.

Rules state as soon as the front wheel of a passing rider goes past the person being passed then that person has to begin dropping back immediatly pronto NOW.

You can't just set there for couple seconds and then back off. If they don't start immediately then there is no specific time to give them. you can't set there say 3 or 4 seconds and then start backing off.

I believe more penalties were missed than made by mistake.

Disc rear wheel: $1000, Aero bars: $200, Aero helmet: $150, Sitting up in the worst aerodynamic position possible; Worthless.

Almost no one and I mean no one rides in aero for 112 miles straight doesn't happen especially on a flat course you have to get up stretch. Setting up for 20 seconds or so is more beneficial than the time or effort lost.

Of course if your drafting like some in the video you loose nothing.

doing the race this year wont lie if u get sucked up in the draft so be it 112 is a lot of course for the officials to patrol. awesome video how did u end up finishing

lol looks like a team time trial:)

Great job on the camera work.

I had witnessed the same drafting this year, unfortunately I didnt have a camera set up however I used the more aggressive method of telling several "Triathletes" to Fuck Off my wheels which seemed to work...

[gbobholmes]

The videos shown so far are at 34 miles into the race While you don't get a big advantage drafting at 17mph(unless in a head wind(say the 12mph on H 20) its still drafting no excuse. I took the video I've been there 10 times.

You drop back when passed when passingneed 20 seconds to do so once you start you have to pass

I post first hour and a half rear cam timlapse 8 times speed soon. I started bike around one of the most dense after t1(60-65 a minute) plenty of room video will show.

I was there. There were so many people that it was hard not to be in a pack at some point of the race. The mid packers were called for so many drafting penalties. Are you drafting when you are going 17 mph ? I don't think so!!!
