Master 8248  Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Jorgensen running marathon Meh.... That is about what I would expect from someone with her level of fitness, but presumably limited marathon-specific training. When I was a bit younger than she is, I ran a 2:43 on a tough course, but certainly couldn't have won the Olympic triathlon gold medal, if indeed there had been one! ITU and Olympics are a different ball game--more about balanced speed in all three disciplines.. What I really wonder is what RINNY would do in an open marathon. I expect that at her top fitness she would be into the low to mid 2:30's; with a run focus, who knows?! My guess is knocking on the door of world class. Edited by Hot Runner 2016-11-09 7:30 AM |

Remember when Desiree Ficker switched from triathlon to open marathons? She always had such a strong run leg, and while she didn't ever make the Olympic team, she posted some nice results. And Rinny's run legs are so much stronger than Desiree's ever were. |

| 467 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Jorgensen running marathon She had just won Island House the weekend before (three straight days of Tris). Her longest previous run was supposedly 18 miles. I believe she ran the first 1/2 at a sub 2:29 pace, and really slowed the last 1/3 of the marathon. A lot of folks think that with a proper build up and taper, she could likely go well under 2:30. |

Extreme Veteran 1332 | Subject: RE: Jorgensen running marathon I was thinking the same thing. She had a terrible build-up and executed poorly, and still managed a fairly respectable time and placing. Would be interesting to see what she could do with the right conditions and execution. |

Master 8248 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Jorgensen running marathon But it sounds like her next priority will be starting a family....even after that, didn't sound like marathoning was high on her list of things to pursue. Not saying she wouldn't be a strong marathoner if she focused on it, but it really is a different beast than shorter-distance tri, not just in terms of training but the physical skills and mindset required and pacing. From what she said about her pacing, that sounds like a very painful way to run 2:41! |
