Riding the brand-new Shiv, Crowie improves his bike split by a whopping 13 minutes

Thirteen minutes and 14 seconds. That is the gigantic difference by which Craig “Crowie” Alexander improved his bike split over previous years at the Ironman World Championships, which he won for the third time Saturday with a new course record of 8:03:56.

Crowie rode the new Specialized Shiv, a bike designed from the ground up exclusively for triathlon. As befits a three-discipline sport, the Shiv features three advantages over other bikes: unmatched aerodynamics, an integrated hydration solution and extensive options to ensure the perfect fit.

For Crowie, the math was simple. Aero + fuel + fit = 13 minutes.

“That bike is a rocket ship,” Crowie said of the Shiv. “A total rocket ship.”

At the 2011 Ford Ironman World Championships, Crowie emerged from the water with the lead group. Over the 112-mile course along the coast, Crowie crushed it on his Shiv.

Crowie came in fourth off the bike, with a time of 4:24:05. In years past, his best bike times were 4:37:19 and 4:37:33.

Crowie left the transition in third, behind Chris Lieto and Luke McKenzie. Still fresh from his time on the bike, Crowie blew through the two leaders on the run and never looked back.

He secured his third Kona title with a time of 8:03:56, smashing a course record that had stood since 1996.

“Crowie is one of the most consistent athletes here,” said Mark Cote, Specialized’s Road Product Manager and Aerodynamicist from MIT. “His bike times have always been between 4:37 and 4:39. So to have a 13-minute improvement because of the changes we made… it makes me believe in science.”

Hello fine people,
Let me tell you how nice it is to finally be typing an email! I have just been granted the kindest gesture from a gorgeous young woman at the Tourist centre in Castellane. I finally arrived here at 6.15pm, having been riding all day since 8am this morning. All I want is a shower and somewhere to set-up my tent…I cannot believe it that of the 14 or so camping grounds available within the region, they are all booked out!
A man out the front tells me that French people are not that nice over the telephone or on the email, but if you converse with them face to face, they are most friendly. He suggests I should just turn up to one of the caravan parks and see if they will take me in… Great idea, but some are 12kms away in the direction I have just come, and I really cannot ride any further today!!!! I go to the Tabac store and try to find a map to continue my journey into Italy. After taking a few deep breaths to negotionate all the areas available, I find a map that will take me the rest of my journey into Croatia! This makes me happy, as I only quickly scribbled down my rough route from the map I sent to all of you up till todays destination while at a cafe yesterday morning, that only gave me 15mins of wi-fi. Since then, I have been in provincial France where the towns are so small there is no such thing as wi-fi.
So if my emails are few and far between, this is the reason. I have been composing my journey as I write- thinking of something for each person on this list. It is great to have each and everyone of you along with me on this journey.
