The 2010 Rev3Tri Knoxville is in the books and here is an image gallery of the event won by Matty Reed and Julie Dibens.
The Rev3Tri series got underway in Knoxville, TN, with an Olympic Distance event. Matt Reed used a superb run to take the win, and Julie Dibens continued her stellar season.
Quite a few Pros are at the start of the 2010 Rev3Tri in Knoxville and slowtwitch presents images leading up to the event.
German’s Jan Frodeno battled Courtney Atkinson step for step before finally taking the Dextro Energy WCS Seoul event. Switzerland’s Daniela Ryf sprinted past Barbara Riveros Diaz, Emma Moffatt and Andrea Hewiitt to win the women’s title.
The updated 8% prize money rule at WTC events has impacted quite a few athletes this year, but nowhere more than at the recent Ironman 70.3 St. Croix where 9 men, but only 2 women, got paid. Several Pros weigh in on this topic.
Fraser Cartmell joined the Trek / K-Swiss team in 2010 and already had some nice performances for them. The Scot very narrowly missed the podium at the inaugural Abu Dhabi Triathlon, and just returned from 70.3 St. Croix.
A 2010 Avia Wildflower Triathlon image gallery by Timothy Carlson captures the passion of this event.
Terenzo Bozzone beat out defending champion Timothy O’Donnell to take the 2010 Ironman 70.3 St. Croix title. Catriona Morrison’s 4:31:06 gave her the win and placed her in the top 10 of the Pro men.
Hunter Kemper got away from his competitors late in the race to take the win at the 2010 Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. Leanda Cave battled Jenna Shoemaker all the way on her way to the title in the women’s race.
Michael Raelert and Julie Dibens, 2009 Ironman 70.3 World Champions, continued their domination of the distance with record and near record performances at Wildflower.
When you get to the 58cm size, tri bikes diverge geometrically. Why? Because they can. The height of these bikes is similar, one to the next. But in reach, there’s more of a divergence.
At about 51cm or 52cm you enter a size range where just about everybody’s bikes are built with 700c wheels. Here, there’s a convergence of geometry, but a divergence in handling.
Austrian Michael Weiss rode away from the field and closed out his day with a sub 3 hour run to win the inaugural Ironman St. George. Heather Wurtele took the women’s race and has now two Ironman titles to her name.
Luke McKenzie added another feather to his cap by winning the 2010 Busselton Half Ironman with a very strong performance. Lisa Marangon was dominant in the women’s race and held off Kate Bevilaqua by 5 minutes.
Are you 5’6″ or shorter, or have an interest in one who is? Here is an assortment of small tri bikes, and where they fall along the geometric gradient of long, short, tall and narrow.
Timothy Carlson sez: Michael Raelert slight edge over Eneko Llanos, Rasmus Henning; Julie Dibens over Virginia Berasategui, Samantha McGlone, Lesley Paterson at Wildflower long course.
What is important? What ought to matter? The answers depend on who you are and what are you’re trying to achieve. You are a tri bike’s designer, for the purpose here; good steering geometry the goal.
The 2009 Ironman 70.3 World Champion, winner in Abu Dhabi and 2010 Kona rookie in training at home in Boulder.
The exercise here is in the understanding of a tri bike’s frame geometry. There are several things worth noting, and this ought to impact, or at least inform, your buying decisions.
We took a closer look at the Sable Optics 101 MTR goggles, Honey Stinger 20g Protein bars, Dunning performance slim fit polo, Globe Roll 2 city bike and the World Bicycle Relief program.
In about a month, I’ll have two bikes in my garage: a P3 and a Slice. The P3 was an output, that is, it was the result of a process. The Slice was an input: It commenced a process. Confused? Let me explain.
Heather Jackson joined the newly formed Trek / K-Swiss team this year but this young Pro is still relatively unknown. We had a few words with her after her 2:15:17 bike split at the Ochsner Ironman 70.3 New Orleans.
Conrad Stoltz won the 2010 XTERRA West Championships in Henderson, NV in a time of 2:07:26 and held off tough challenger Josiah Middaugh. Shonny Vanlandingham earned the women’s title in a time of 2:24:14.
South Africa’s Raynard Tissink ran past Switzerland’s Mathias Hecht for another home country Ironman victory; Sonia Tajsich of Germany overcame Caroline Steffen’s lead with race-best bike and run.
