Subject: Inside an ITU race - video
Hi everyone, I put this together following the Hamburg World Triathlon Series race in Germany, and I really hope it helps shed some light on the inner workings and excitement of an ITU bike leg.
The power and speed data is real-time and I narrated some of the tactics and race-defining moments. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the share and narration. Tri bike leg that played out like a compact crit race, compounded by the slick conditions. Few guys hit the white traffic dividing paint and those wheels give out like on glass. Way to keep it upright. Thanks again for the insight

That was super cool. The sprints out of the turns were crazy. I loved seeing the power data during the surges.

Eric - my son raced with you at Tritonman this year.  It was his first race as an Elite (still was in high school so he was a bit nervous in that field) and he mentioned you specifically as going out of your way to spend a few minutes talking to him.  Having spent quite a bit of time around the Jr. ITU circuit in the U.S. the last 4 years that's not the first time I've heard your name mentioned in that regard.  Thanks for being a great role model.

Thanks for posting this Eric, very cool indeed! Definitely reminds me of Crits back in the day . . . 40+ years ago. You guys are crazy (in a good way). All the best to you in your upcoming races!

Hi there! That's awesome to hear, I'm glad that I left an impression. I feel like I've gotten so much from triathlon since I started back in 2001 and I feel indebted to the incredible community. I try to give back in any way I can, and just like making these videos, chatting with Juniors is very close to my heart. I have dreams of running a fully-funded junior squad some day or at the very least mentoring a few hand-picked kids!

I hope your son's experience at Tritonman left him wanting more. ITU is a tough road, but it's by far the most exciting format in my opinion

This race in particular runs just like a crit. Or something halfway between a circuit race and a crit anyway. It's probably my favorite ITU course, maybe only second to Stockholm, and a big part of that is the variation in surface, type of turn, and of course, the crowds! When we have incredible courses like this out there, it always blows my mind when race directors just throw in a bunch of 180's around cones and call it a "technical ride". This is the good stuff!
