tortoise 859 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 She WON at Lausanne in 2:44:28. Very lumpy but not hilly course. Can she swim? This could become very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

tortoise 859 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 5th woman overall at IM Switzerland, non wetsuit swim. 1:08. Link to post Share on other sites
Tyno 2,403 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Relatively speaking she can't swim. If she gets that fixed, even the Mel Hauschildt levels, she'll be very dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites
KKB 37 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 She won Swissman last year (it's first year), in 12:39. An hour or so in front of second place. Tough course. I think it's something like 5800 metres elev gain! Obviously not a big field. Only for the hardcore. Says a lot about her though me thinks. Link to post Share on other sites
Tyno 2,403 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Powerman Zofingen@PM_Zofingen 6:47:27.7 That the time Emma clocked for her win at Powerman Zofingen Powerman Zofingen @PM_Zofingen · 16h Only 2.5 km to go for Emma Pooley. She will smash the old course record, which dates from 2002. Karin Thürig had clocked 7:04:08 then. So, she smashed the record by 16.5 minutes or so. Bike/run she's pretty damn good.
