Description
Sergio Selles-Perez and co-authors ask a plain 2023 question: does pool speed foretell open water speed for top triathletes? Lab and pool tests are often used to gauge race form in endurance sports. The swim leg sets up the rest of a triathlon, so its forecast value matters.
Eighteen male triathletes, from world class to national level, took 61 staged swim tests in all. Blood lactate marks gave speed scores at two thresholds and at the test's last stage. Those scores were set against swim times and places from 75 races across five levels, from world series to local meets. The study weighs how far pool marks held up by race level and distance.
