Regular  99  Rancho Cucamonga, CA |  Subject: Guess my Ironman New Zealand time.It'll be my first IM. My longest distance prior to this is an Olympic back on 11/7/09 it was the Big Rock Olympic and I finished in 2:44:40, 4th outta 9 in my AG and 69th OA outta 157. Race is March 6th, Just a little over 2 weeks out. You can check my logs for pace but much of it has been well below LT. Still gotta work out a pace with my coach. That being said I'll send a IMNZ T Shirt (size L) to whoever get's the closest. Cheers, Robert |

Bob 2194  Binghamton, NY | Subject: RE: Guess my Ironman New Zealand time. I would love to get out and do that race sometime! Congrats on getting through the journey of training for your first IM, very well done. Enjoy every moment of the race, soak in the atmosphere and thank the volunteers. Keep in mind that this is not a race but an event and try to stay on top of your nutrition and hydration and you will have a great day. GOOD LUCK!! My prediction from your logs is going to be: Swim - 1:30:00 T1 - 12:00 Bike - 6:30:00 T2 - 10:00 Run - 5:10:00 Total Time - 13:32:00 |

Extreme Veteran 425 | Subject: RE: Guess my Ironman New Zealand time. Hmmmm..using my rookie formula.... 1 hour 38 minutes swim 11 minutes 30 second T1 6 hours 35 minutes Bike 12 minute T2 5 hour 32 minute run Total = 14:08 and some change....... Of course this is all dependent on the moon phase and tidal currents at that time of the race...and if you have dimpled tires.... |

Weather could be a factor, too. If you can sustain the same pace of your Oly time and carry that to a HIM, that would shoot you around a 5 hr 30 min. timeframe. Now, doubling that and adding an hour would get you around the 12 hour mark (rough guesstimation prediction time). Being that you haven't accomplished a race beyond an Oly and having the endurance numbers, I'll add at least another 1-1/2 hours, getting you to 13 hr. 30 min. But, with all other factors, except for sure will and tenacity, I'm tacking on another 30 min. to make your final time 14 hours. Good luck and surprise us. Remember, have fun and make the most of the day!
