Results will be automatically updated throughout the day.

Again, a big congratulations to everyone that raced today.  Even if you didn't finish the hardest part of an Ironman is the training in my opinion.  I miss the training and am deciding on which long course event I want to do next year.  I sincerely wish the timing was working properly but sometimes technical issues don't work out as planned.

GREAT JOB!

You were awesome -- I had no idea you were a BTer!

BEST DAY EVER!

Super huge congratulations to all the BTers out there. You all looked great

Special shout out to Kate (kr140.6) - We met up randomly at the swim entrance chute and entered the water together and ended up leapfrogging eachother during the bike - my new IronBuddy!

Enjoy the post race high and recovery!

After years of thinking about the glory of doing IMLP, I finally made the decision today to just do it because I still can!

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST IRONMAN

I am very fortunate to have a training partner that is a 5 time IMLP finisher to show me the way

Time management will be my greatest challenge

I have always found it difficult to maintain balance with 1) my family = wife and three little rug rats 2) operating a small business and 3) training

However, my experience preparing for three 70.3 distance races during the past few years has proven that some how - some way - the job always gets done because one day at a time I always strive to do my best and truly cherish the journey

Look forward to seeing you all out on the course on July 22, 2012

I had a rough day... Gashed my big toe pretty bad on the way to bike transition - saw my family and stepped over to give my girls a kiss not realizing that section had a drop off. Started out great on the bike, blew up my knee, and did the Ironman shuffle the entire marathon with help from a running partner I picked up on mile 7 (some serious motivation boost there... we kept pushing each other). And I loved every minute of it!

I was so out of it, I didn't realize I ran past Jerry in the last quarter mile. He was only 7 seconds behind me on the finish..I'm guessing at that point we both just wanted to break the hour mark lol.

In all, I'm feeling pretty great today though walking a bit gingerly with a few blisters and tired legs. What a great day, phenomenal volunteers, and a great group of people to share the experience with. Congrats BT peeps!

Dream Chaser - 2011-07-25 9:02 AM Awesome Job Everyone!!  I met Jon, westchstertri, out on the course and ran with him for a bit.  Met kaburns in transition and yelled at her out on the course   The volunteers were so awesome.  I loved the Babptist Church group who came all the way up from Georgia to host the pancake breakfast and volunteer.  We spent a lot of time with them; very selfless, giving people. 

Cannot wait to read everyone's Race Reports.

We should all follow Fred at Wisconsin and help him like he has helped and encouraged us.

I was trying to catch you but it didn't work. I had a pretty solid run and I'll be aiming for low 11s at IMFL.

DUDE!!!!! I got ice from you. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I've been dealing with no wifi and BT withdrawal! At a coffee shop now before we head home. Great to meet some folks on Friday and hanging out with a couple BT'rs off and on. Ironwannabe and I were at the same hotel and ran into each other all weekend, and even in the water at the swim start. Good fun Jerry!

What a fantastic experience! Congrats to all athletes!!!

Slowtwitch usually posts a full expanded race results spreadsheet.  It hasn't come out yet for IMLP but I would guess it'll be out in the net few days.
