I was hoping for sub 12 with a stretch getting closer to 11, but injury restricted training makes sub 14 more realistic.

(secretly still hoping for 12 but it's not likely)

1 previous IM, this one last year.

I believe my husband and kids will be working run aid station that is around mile 10 and 16 by the fruit stand just before McClean Creek.

Time goal: sub 12:30, although sub 13 would be fine
Secret time goal: none!

This is Ironman #5. Based on my training and the course, my goal is to make this my 2nd fastest Ironman. My PR is 11:53 and I don't think it's possible to beat that tomorrow. My 2nd fastest is 13:05 and that should be very do-able tomorrow.

Swim should be 1:25 or so. I am much better trained this year than last year's IMC and expect a 6:40 or better, barring problems. I don't imagine with the hills and heat I'll get much faster than 6:25. Then I expect a 4:20 to 4:40 run.

Add in transitions, and I'll be done in ~ 12:20 to 13:00. I can't see how I could take 30 minutes off that to PR, and trying to that on the bike early would just be foolish. Last year I was guilty of that sort of goal inflation and hammered the early part of the bike to my everlasting regret. I'm not going to do it again.

Super psyched for you guys tommorow.  Good Luck!

Good luck and have fun everyone!

Good Luck everyone!

Looks like athlete tracker is up already..


Looks like we'll get 3 bike splits someplace after Richter pass at mile 42.5 and again maybe at 69.5 out and back, and only mid point and final on run.
