Today my guest is Russ Cox, tri coach and statistician. For the last 6 years Coach Cox has been compiling data on Ironman and, more recently, 70.3 events.
I do not know of anyone else who performs such a service for age group triathletes and so his site is well worth a visit (with the exception of Thorsten Radde who runs TriRating, a service mainly aimed at pro triathlete performances).
In our discussion, Russ reveals:
- Why a love of statistics got him started on this journey in 2012
- How technology helps him to crunch an ever growing supply of data
- Where best to race in Europe if you want to qualify for Kona
- Which races are best for a PB
- Europe's toughest Ironman triathlon
- Why data from some races can be misleading
- The race which currently has the best odds of a Kona slot
- Why you should buy him a coffee to help him keep the site running
To find out more about Coach Cox and to make use of the mountains of valuable data he has created please visit his website www.coachcox.co.uk.
