Due to road construction the bike course has been extended to 185 km. The extra 5 km. wont have any physical influence. It will probably take approx. 8 minutes to ride these extra kilometres. The overall time will off course be longer, which might have a mental influence. The last 20 km. on the run leg is perhaps 90% mental and 10% physical, so it is important not to forget that the overall time won't be as good, as in a normal Ironman, and on a course like the one in Frankfurt. And it will afterwards be a bit difficult to compare the race time to other Ironman races. But overall it won't make a difference what so ever. I can't say, that I personally care about the change. At least they didn't put the kilometres on the swim or on the run leg... Now that would have worried me...
