leave a comment »

Run-bike ratios are an interesting metric that can be helpful in evaluating optimal pacing.  Here’s a link to a post on 2010 Ironman World Championship run-bike ratios.

Craig Alexander’s 0.621 run-bike ratio sealed the deal for the pro men’s field.  Chrissie Wellington’s 0.582 run-bike ratio held off the pro women’s field.  Mirinda Carfrae’s 0.566 run bike ratio seems to be evidence of Mirinda’s need for a faster bike pace to compete with Wellington’s championship domination.

Data Summary:
Male Champion: 0.62
Male Top 10 Average: 0.65
Male Top 10 Range: 0.60-0.70

Female Champion: 0.58
Female Top 10 Average: 0.62
Female Top 10 Range: 0.57-0.68
