T1:Stealth Top – Save up to 6 minutes in your next Ironman

Covered sleeves became indispensable for optimized aerodynamics on the bike. Knowing about possible time savings on the bike from our cycling background we started working on a triathlon specific bike top in 2012. At the beginning we sticked with a long sleeve version, the fastest option and still state of the art for the fastest time trial suits. Experience in practice has shown that long sleeves and 1/2 zipper might not be the best solution for triathlon. A compromise between practicability and best aerodynamics was needed. Towards Kona 2013 Castelli produced a small run of pre-production samples for the world championships and outfitted Timothy O’Donnell with a first customized T1:Stealth Top. At that time the Stealth took the world by storm and helped Timothy to improve his bike split by over nine minutes from the year before. Timothy and his wife – triple Ironman world champion Mirinda Carfare – were involved in the development process of that top from the very beginning. The T1:Stealth Top reduce aero drag for the bike leg. You wear it over your tri top, or in hotter conditions by itself, and you’ll be faster with the same effort. Wind tunnel testing data translated onto actual road conditions and taking ...

Impressive show of Andy Raelert and Tim O’Donnell at Ironman Hawaii

Athletes – pros and amateurs – had to deal with one of the hottest days in recent Kona history at the 2015 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. Cloudless sky in the morning, almost no swell and temperatures up to 39°C exhausted the participants past Saturday. Almost all supposed race favorites reached T1 together and a few attacks within the big leading group with more than 15 athletes were unsuccessful. After the turning point in Hawi Timothy O’Donnell mustered up his courage, attacked and formed a small gap. Unfortunately he faced a mechanical shortly before entering T2 and had Frodeno to let pass who left T2 as the race leader. “Sometimes you get an opportunity and you just have to take it and not look back.” O’Donnell – dressed in aerodynamic T1:Stealth Top and Free two piece kit – claimed the third fastest bike split of the day. He started the concluding marathon in second position, fought bravely and achieved his first Kona podium with third place in 8:18:50, behind winner Jan Frodeno and Andreas Raelert. The American after the race: „I am really proud of taking the risk on the bike. I expected I can have a performance like this ...
