In this coaches corner we discuss the key metrics and interpretation of your half ironman race result. How did you do?

Pacing a half ironman event can be tricky when you are tapered and fresh.  We take the "emotion" out of the equation and use the tables below to hone in on your exact split and effort so you give all you have and don't blow it on either the bike or run! 

“Cliff:
See attached my 2018 "Race Plan".. I updated it today..  “ What I do NOT fully understand is WHY my CTL have just kept on "declining" from the peak(s) in March and April?

Can you shed some further wisdom about this please?

Dr... So if I focus on CTL for a moment and look at the CTL in a "last 6 months" perspective..
My CYCLING CTL performance been constantly improving ("big bump" up during Tristar LP week...)... WHILE my RUNNING CTL performance been doing the opposite... with my two "bumps" taking place in March and April which was when my "pure" 10K and 13.2M took place....

My RUN CTL was a peak at 43 in March..  and end of April bumped up to a 40..  but now just a 28....

What is going on..??  Please provide some (further) insight please DR..
