Kona watching thread (Page 11)

I am sure she'll be fine. She ran like the 3rd fastest marry in IM history last year and she didn't have a clue. A year later and the experience is s huge factor. Also she sat and probably stretched out for a solid 10 minutes. Might have helped a bit. Who knows.

I know, it was more of an inside joke kind of thing

Stadler is making his move. This run is shaping up to be one of the best in years....

The next 10 mile critical for overall position into T2. We all know Lieto and Sindballe are going to have a tough time in the heat in the first 10 miles of the run.

2 mi til first men roll in

That K-Swiss commercial was pretty cool.

Happy watching....I have an event to go to and will miss the battle of the run.  But, I will be coming back to read the fun BT commentary to catch up...so please, chat away!!
GO CHRISSIE WELLINGTON...she's the only one I'm really rooting for out there--but excited to see what all pans out!

Jacob is through the bike turn in 4:13:05, 19.mph

Internal cable problems and couldn't shift.

Beke is a real man.  Macca is wimp.  He talks big talk, how much respect he has for the Ironman, how great a triathlete he is, blah, blah, blah,...  I had little respect for him before this because of his mouth.  Now I have zero respect.  He's a jerk.

I haven't heard them mention him in a while...

This coverage is addictive. I wish they would give more video coverage, though, instead of watching the commentators.

"You owe me"
We just got the heads up on how Rebekah Keat helped Chrissie Wellington out. Wellington was on clinchers. She went through four quick fills and was stuck on the road looking for another.

About 20 age group men went by her before Rebekah Keat slowed to help her out.

"You owe me," Keat yelled as she rode away.

You think?

That's sportsmanship. Good on you, Rebekah!


Someone's drinking for free after this race shakes out... LOL
