Excellent video🎉 Helpful
Thanks for the information. I need socks for work. I move around and twist to change directions a lot.
Thank you for the video. Going to run this year on Oct 8 2023
Awesome video and nice to find someone who shares the same opinion. I have a fluid "dumb" trainer as well, but it is direct drive and quiet. No sense in overspending when I already have a power meter, heart rate monitor, and can control the resistance using my gears.

Why there is no Swimming at all in your Base training?
10 days in post 2002 race and I caught myself watching this again. It adds so much meaning to the footage now. Thank you so much for letting us relive the race.
Thank you! I’m excited for tomorrow
I thought the mile marks would be helpful
That’s actually last year’s course. The detour shown going around on wacker instead of down Franklin is correct for this year.
Brings back memories, I should try to do this in NYC
I'm running it on October 9 2022 for the first time so I really appreciate this video!! Thank you :)
I’m surprised you don’t talk about a trainer tire. Don’t you think those are essential?
This is awesome! Thanks for making this!
This is a great video. I have the same trainer. It’s as good and reliable and simple as you say it is.
Best thing to do is just get 3-4 brand new chains, mineral spirits and denatured alcohol them all, and wax them. Every 200-300 miles, take off current waxed chain, throw a new one on. Saves your drive train some serious wear and tear. Rewaxing once you've cycled through them all is super easy. Throw them in some boiling water, dry them, wax. Just started waxing my mtb chains and loving how clean the chain is after rides. Makes maintenance very easy.
Thank you for this video. I haven't noticed any big hills on a course, are there any?
Maybe next time make a video when the streets are closed off and you can make the proper route video - instead of going off route and messing those of us who will be running it. btw... hope ya enjoy the marathon.... either ya love it or hate it..no inbetween!
ha, great idea.
The man takes his time to make a video helping us to have an overall idea of what to expect and all one can see is "you went off route that will mess my running".
Thanks for posting this. Brings back a lot of mostly good memories. (And thanks for saying when you had to go off course). I think they do a terrific job of organizing this race, and it really does showcase the beautiful chicago area quite well.
Good to hear - this will be my first year racing it!
@@MichaelMansfieldTri Injuries permitting, me too. Weather has been good here in Chicago up till now, let's hope it carries over into race day. Last year was pretty warm. I hope you have a wonderful race!
You gotta love the 4/5 flyer from the whistle.
You didn't pedal through the corner. Chris horner has got a really good video about that.
Why don't you use quick links on your chain?
mostly preference. Also, feels like an easier point of failure.
Always against traffic!
7:07 - Hey that's me dying. Gotta work my handling, among other things LoL. Thanks for directed me to this video sir! I would have made contact had I waited 45 more seconds.
Zwift is not great for improving handling, I know from experience as well. The second you slow, the group slows! Looking forward to ‘22!
I’ve been looking for a budget smart trainer and trying to compare low rated direct drive system with higher rated wheel-on like Tacx Flow Smart and can’t figure what’s best
Run against the flow of traffic. It's safer and you have good visibility
Thanks mate. Very useful info. Just what I was looking for.
Am interested with the tacx booster is it worth the purchase?
Forget about the ramp test. The results are way too high..
Hi Michael -small world(?). I am (or was) a triathlete. Verona was my first crit, but I did the novice race. We were also at CNA for a while. I worked with Nick Graf before he transferred into I believe your area. I hope to see you out on a course, but first I gotta lay off the donuts and get back out there. Thanks for posting these vids.
Bravo!
Great review and Great detail! This is for me a great overview of what to expect on the 140.6 edition on 2022. It looks like an extreme Iron distance event… . Was anyone wearing a neoprene cap or similar( during swimming portion) .?
It is a very honest course - not the fastest overall, but the most enjoyable I have done (just did the 70.3 WC a week ago and it was awesome too)! I don't recall seeing anyone with neoprene cap, but I did double cap. hope you enjoy the world champ race next year!
Video starts @3:05
Michael, I struggled with much of the same and it was a challenge to find a balance between my tri stuff and gym stuff. After spending $$$, I learned less is more. I’ve got a modest set-up but any weight training is limited to TRX and kettlebells. This has been crucial in injury avoidance! Nowadays, my rogue weights and benches are more for staging my water bottles😂. One thing I strongly recommend is an IR sauna. After hours on the bike or treadmill/road, 30 minutes in the sauna is great for recovery.
3:43 “I’m going to show you where I’ve cum over the last year” no pause lol, Good job though!
I run on back country roads. Little traffic but higher speeds. I always run with traffic ONLY because I use my ears to listen for cars coming behind. If you know what you are listening for a car slowing down is easy to distinguish. The car notices you and is slowing down. If I don’t hear the slowing down then I look behind to quickly decide if I need to jump off the road lol. Has never happened to me but I’m thinking about it always. So cars that are passing you in the opposite lane don’t always slow down. THOSE are the cars I want to see…… DONT WEAR HEADPHONES WHILE RUNNING WITH CARS!!!…..WEAR BRIGHT COLORS!!! BE SAFE!!!
Und jetzt? Versuch deinen Wert mal ne Stunde zu halten dann wirst sehen, dass du das nie und nimmer schaffst.
There was a rider off the front since before the crash that got first. Nice video though
You're right, and I was only vaguely aware of that during the race.
Nice move! Stay on your wheels.
What about the tacx booster?
have not used it, but likely a similar experience. If you have one, or access to one, give it a go!
@@MichaelMansfieldTri but can I train 15 hours a week with it?
@@Sara-df8xp that a lot of time, but I don't see why not.
@@MichaelMansfieldTri cuz Shan miller told me it's not going to workout.
@@Sara-df8xp let me know how it goes!
My goal is to have an FTP higher than my heart rate !!! 300 is incredible.
Keep working hard, you will get there!
Kudos for trying something different, great effort. From someone that has zero experience in crits, but sees a lot of this kinds of videos, I think you burned a few matches very early in the race, going off the front alone, and trying to hang on to the front group. Also, as a begginer un crits you should probably start in cat 5, learn the technique and strategy of crits, and only the move to cat 4, even if you have the fitness right now. Anyway, congrats for the race, and bring more of these videos to the channel
Nice set up. Suggest a trainer desk. Makes things so much easier IMO! What HP is that treadmill also please?
Definitely agree, I use a cheap laptop desk that cost are $40 on Amazon. The treadmill is the Landice L7 which has a 4HP motor. Love it so far, and will be working on a long term review at some point this fall.
Opinions on hitting higher power on the climbs knowing you have long recoveries on the decents
Nice video. Also, what do you use to carry your bike in the car? I'm looking for a solution for mine.
Looks like that setup was good enough for a 25mph average! Great job Michael and nice to meet you in DSM!
thanks Matt! appreciate you stepping in as a volunteer at the race as well - hopeful I will see you at a race again soon!
Des Moines will be my first 70.3. I'm not nervous.
Awesome - have fun out there!
Run safe, run where you can step out of the way if needed, and make sure you can see traffic coming and can be seen by traffic approaching. This means I could be running at any side of the road depending on the situation, but I find myself running against traffic most of the time.
See ya at Des Moines.
