Bayliss needs ACC

Looks like Mr Bayliss needs to get himself out with the club to up his bike leg .
[quote]Triathlete and sometime racing cyclist Philip Graves became the youngest ever winner of an Ironman Trithlon when he won Sunday’s Bolton event.

The 20 year-old, third, behind Michael Hutchinson and Kevin Dawson in the recent RTTC National 100-mile championship, covered the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike race and 26.2-mile run in 8-45-52 to beat defending champion Stephen Bayliss by 2-38.

Graves, winner of the last three rounds of the RTTC-Rudy Project Time Trial Series, built his victory on the long bike section where he covered the 112 miles in 4-57-23, 7-27 faster than Bayliss.

Bayliss recouped a lot of his deficit in the Marathon run, covering the 26.2 miles in 2-47-43 to Graves’ 2-52-19.

After race comment from Graves was “If Andy Schleck can finish second in the Giro d’ Italia (2007) at 21 then why can’t I win an Ironman at 20. So now I’ve done it.”

Graves’ effort qualifies him for the Hawaiian Ironman later in the year and we may see him back in the Time Trial Series.

There was an article about him in the Triathlon 220 mag. His key weekly cycle sessions are 2 Time Trial effort pace rides and 1 Club CR where in his words "we try and kill each other".
