Kristian Blummenfelt SMASHES 7 HOUR IRONMAN

Highlights. Full analysis of race and splits to come.

[@aaronlaughlin2389]

I know people aren’t fans of things like this and kipchoges optimized marathon distance, but it’s cool to see what a human can do in these three events with perfect conditions and performance

[@SteveNinetyski]

@@aaronlaughlin2389 I agree to a point...but using the bike segment as a team time trial just makes for way too many variables for it to be a real record in my opinion. Hardly anyone else on the planet will even attempt it this way.....so it makes it pretty pointless and redundant.

[@georgeelliott1045]

The bike should of been individual, team time trial is crazy he’s free wheeling at 55kmph

[@philipk4475]

Funny how they placed him last in the bike TTT when he would have had less air resistance in second to last place...

[@maxjohnson0703]

Wish they didn’t have draft on bike kinda ruins it for me. But rest is cool

[@NoName-lq7kt]

That bicycle costs more than my life

[@wermissam1239]

Still wont be able to keep UP the distance 20km

[@SteveNinetyski]

That is one very easy way to ride 180km at 52kph.....of course he smashes the record doing it like this😅 The cycling segment alone would have saved him at least 45 minutes and saved energy on top of that. Silly record really as it is mostly depending on how good your cycling team mates are. You could get the 50th ranked triathlete in the world to beat this time if they had 6 tour de france cyclists to help them for 180km.

[@steinareggan4565]

wow u get it next time in downhill

[@maximilianhedstrom183]

Like you even could complete this in a week. Sitting behind a screen and typing is easy putting in the work and making friends that takes skills and I don’t think you have any skills in making friendships or working hard

[@bargen44]

Unbelievable !

[@antonioguerrahernandez6046]

Magnus Ditlev from Denmark has the fastest ironman time in a real race from the Roth ironman in 2023, his time was 7:24:40 (46:47 swim, course record 3:57:45 bike split and a 2:37:09 marathon)

Can’t say I’m a fan of this, not real IM, all assisted.

[@EnduranceEDGE1]

I tend to agree mate, but a cool experiment none the less.

[@rawveganperformance]

True. Drafting on the bike... you safe huuuge watts

[@ryand3rson]

Who cares. Not a single person commenting on this video can do anything close to that performance so it's impressive af.

[@peterningelgen278]

No, he didn't - it was Not regular Triathlon - anybody knows, only with very Special Help He did "something" in less than 7 hours, mainly Team Time Trial in cycling brought the opportunity to Finish early. It was even Not Close to a regular Ironman or regular Long Distance Triathlon. Stay honest please. Regular SUB 7 is still a big Challenge. It will come some day, Christian Blumenfeld is far away those days. So the topic is clearly a ly.

[@EnduranceEDGE1]

Yeh it wasn’t a legit race, but still impressive to see. But of course, true sub7 is still a long way away.

[@peterningelgen278]

@@EnduranceEDGE1 Not too far, could coming soon.

[@danielazocar9273]

Really boring yo see 🥱 but cool stuff

[@alexanderhaynes5578]

Shouldn't he be disqualified as Ironman events are draft-illegal and it is stated clearly in the rules and also any gear has to be left with a box, others are not allowed to assist otherwise time penalties are applied

[@florentgatin]

This is an event specifically organized for him, so no he won’t be disqualified. It’s not a regular Ironman event

[@edulcolorant]

Thus, the perf is real but this event title definitely shouldn't mention Ironman

[@dood-vr9yh]

PISS TEST

[@aarondcmedia9585]

I realise he's fit af but it still weirds me out seeing someone who looks fat competing at this level vs the other athletes I see doing the same amount of training looking lean af.

[@DavidVilla147BVB]

He is Not fat at all. His Lungth and heart is just way bigger than average. That is why he Looks so big at the Upper Body. It is a very big advantage of him though.

[@RichardThe3]

This is what a functional body at an elite level looks like. Instagram is confusing people with skewed body ideals. Low percentage body fat and vein popping muscles won’t get you very far concerning physical performance.

[@aarondcmedia9585]

@@RichardThe3 except Lionel Sanders + Joe Skipper are not skewed body ideals. Nor is Instagram the source of my comparison, which I do not look at, ever. So, Richard, nice try, but clearly a clueless response considering the plethora of elite triathletes that refute your argument, including the other Norwegian in the video.

Indeed mate, Joe killed it too. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍

[@desmondyap5391]

Technically kristian smashed it first. Big joe skipper fan here and yes he smashed it too

[@peterningelgen278]

No one has killed an Ironman SUB 7 or SUB 8 Woman. Swimming was'nt after "Ironman" Rules, because support with special helpful Neopren suits. The Cycling was far away from legal Rules. And the, also supported quick running was only possible because easier swim and strong Bike Support. So, the real SUB 7/8- Challenge is still OPEN 😃😃😃😃 Honor to those who reach it then in real !!!!!
