Posted by By Gary Roethenbaugh at 25 October, at 00 : 00 AM Print

You may have seen the coverage from the big race in Kona, but ZumTri is bringing a new perspective to the race – as a dynamic virtual replay.

ZumTri created a new-to-the-world virtual replay of the professional race at the 2010 Ford Ironman World Championship to demonstrate the new features of its interactive race software.

Watch the professional championship race from a bird’s-eye view using ZumTri’s new interactive media. The proprietary technology converts chip-timing results into dynamic race infographics.

In the demo, you can watch the race replay, complete with swimming, cycling and running animations.

Tri fans can watch the ZumTri virtual Kona 2010 race here. You can also see Chris McCormack’s win against the other podium finishers and the field, or to watch Mirinda Carfrae’s win against the female podium finishers.

To use the software, enter the name of the pro triathlete you would like to watch, or select a podium finisher from the drop-down menu. Click ‘watch’ and see the race unfold. This race visualization shows five splits on the bike and four splits on the run, so you can get a good idea of how the race progressed.

The following are new features in this release:
• Zum Zoom – automatically tracks and zooms into the virtual race
• New Entry Screen – redesigned: select the overall and age group winners
• Mouse over the animations or race dots to identify an athlete

Beyond the race graphics, participants can also look at several charts and graphs to help analyse their ranking for each leg, and where they fit in the overall time of the race. Athletes can also bookmark and share their race results through common social networking services.
