Was it same bike course as 2021?

No different route no sheephouse lane ! More gradual longer climbs in places

[@bodsnvimto]

No, if you go to the official Ironman site you can make your way to the routes of each of the last several races. This year they omitted some of the more punishing hills of the last couple of events (2019 in particular was brutal) so I was surprised to see leading times were well down on last year, esp as there was a lengthy monsoon-like downpour twelve months ago.

This years race had a lot of wind 💨 which contributed am sure to the times the 1 mile climb at 106 miles was a killer

@@jonathanwales5949 Good sir, I just checked out your time.

[@bodsnvimto]

@@jonathanwales5949 WHOOPS! Accidentally hit the send button before making my point...which was WELL DONE! I am in awe of you and everyone else who finished. My calculation is that after diving into that filthy duck water at 6am you finally got to rest at just prior to twenty-to ten at night. UTTERLY AMAZING, the stamina and fortitude, both mental as well as physical. I was out at 3/4 of the way up another mile or so-long climb between Walshaw and Affetside, clapping and cheering you all on from literally first to last I can see your point on how brutal that last climb must have been, esp knowing a marathon lay ahead. Once again, WELL DONE!

A 17 hour race and all you can manage is 3 minutes and 6 seconds shocking

[@bodsnvimto]

There's plenty more longer pieces of footage, many of them fascinating personal tales. I'm still watching them avidly over and over again.
