says it was 466' total elevation so it was mostly flat. Even on my best day I ain't holding 22 $\:\|$

Good for him....but that ain't that fast. Solid middle of the pack bike leg at any decent sized Tri.

Don't get me wrong, that's a great ride, it's just not that amazing. I mean...I've had similar bike splits and I was never at risk of winning my AG. $\:D$

I doubt you're that far off of a ride like that either.

What were his splits/overall results?

Re: my tri-buddy just got untouchably fast on the bike

He's about 12 months into tris [same as me] I probably should have clarified that "untouchably fast" wasn't meant in an absolute sense--rather simply to me. I figured that would have been assumed but I guess not.

32:xx swim [he almost never swims]
4:20 T1
1:07.xx bike
2:10 T2
51:57 run (he never runs pretty much, maybe 10 miles/week on a big week)
2:39:xx

I'm around 7:xx faster on the swim and 7:xx slower on the bike and I was baarely faster on the run (:~40s) last time. He smokes me in transitions $\:D$

so he's a good biking/run buddy for me. I've helped him push his pace a bit on the run and he helps me push it a bit on the bike--I've seriously lowered his 3-5 mile run pace by 1-2 mins/mile just by reminding him that he's basically the same speed as me and to suck it up $\:D$

I did a ~15 mile TT with him a couple weeks back and got SMOOOKED lol [pretty much the same delta as here, 22.xx vs 20.xx mph]
