Yesterday, I figured out what pace I would have to swim at in order to complete the 2.4 miles necessary to complete the Ironman. Today, I want to find out the pace I would need to be at to complete the biking portion of the race.
According to ironman.com, The cutoff time for the bike ride is 10 hours and 30 minutes from the start of the race. So, if I cut off the 2 hours and 20 minutes that gives me 8 hours and 10 minutes to complete the bike ride of 112 miles. This is roughly 13.7 miles per hour. Again, I have never really timed myself on a bike either, but I am eager to see how many miles I could actually do on a bike without any preparation.
Tomorrow, I will set the running pace.
By the way, today is my wonderful girlfriend, Cindy’s Birthday. So, Happy Birthday! Can’t wait for the concert tonight.
Happy birthday Cindy! You will ride faster than 13.7, I have do doubt!
Mitch, I’m confused.
