I think I can podium (overall) in this Half iron, but whatever.

I am doing another half iron 3 weeks later, so there is always time for that. Otherwise the season is ending real quickly. So I'll be sitting here with my 300 watt FTP and nothing to do but kick tires.

But the "form" of doing essentially tempo/endurance for 4.5 hours is a lot different than going endurance for 3 hours with random 600 watt surges.

Oh yeah, I've come in literally DFL in the 3 time trials I've done this year. that is all I've seen in terms of bike racing.

GMSR here i come**********
