Guten Morgen. Fancy a roll with two legends. Join us on @GoZwift at 11am CEST this morning for social spin and chat with Jan Frodeno and Lionel Sanders. A great opportunity to ask them questions about yesterday’s incredible ZWIFT Tri Battle Royale. zwift.com/events/view/21…
Congratulations to both athletes @GoZwift Tri Battle Royale. What an incredibly spirited challenger Lionel Sanders was. Our hats off to him. He went deep. #tribattle
We got a bit swept up in festivities for a moment there. But we can confirm @GoZwift Tri Battle Royale has given us a new full distance triathlon record of 7:27:53. Jan Frodeno beating his own record. #tribattle
At this stage with just over 19km to go on the run for Frodeno. And with Sanders roughly at half marathon distance 10mins or so behind. Both athletes are on to break the current world record held by Frodeno. Jan’s predicted time at current pace is 7:21:50 while Lionel’s 7:31:58.
Frodeno just hit the deck coming through the finish area for the first time. He went down hard. He got up limping but is back running now. We keep our fingers crossed. #tribattle
With both athletes on the run, here is a recap on the race times of @GoZwift Tri Battle Royale so far so far. Frodeno – Swim 45:58 / T1 00:59 / Bike 3:55:22 / T2 1:13. Sanders Swim 50:58 / T1 00:39 / Bike 4:00:26 / T2 0:58.
With Frodeno already out on the run, Sanders has just come into T2 of the @GoZwift Tri Battle Royale. At this stage, we’re clocking Frodeno approx 9mins 30secs ahead of Sanders. Give it some guys. #tribattle
We apologise for the lack of coverage for Sanders on the live coverage. We lost one camera early and due to weather conditions were struggling with the feed from the helicopter. #tribattle
Frodeno just over 3km from T2. We’ll get you time gaps and further updates as soon as we can. Scintillating bike times from both athletes at @GoZwift Tri Battle Royale. #tribattle
Fourth time through the ‘@canyon_bikes Turn ‘ and Frodeno had pulled out a lead of approx 7mins. Conditions are terrible for both athletes but at the moment, it looks like Frodeno is coping better. About 60km to go. #tribattle@GoZwift
Second time through the ‘@canyon_bikes Turn’, Frodeno had extended his lead on Sanders by about 15secs. The gap between our two athletes at @GoZwift Tri Battle Royale is now approx 5mins 15sec. #tribattle
Both athletes are out of the swim. Sanders had an incredible swim and a smooth transition. Frodeno’s T1 was messy. But he’s hammering on the bike and heading for the @canyon_bikes Turn. Hopefully with his shoes and suit now done up. #tribattle
@GoZwift Tri Battle is a go. Jump on to tri-battle.com for live coverage. We’re currently 2 laps into the 4 lap swim with Frodeno predicted to come in on 47mins. #tribattle
