Wow, not only did Chrissie regain the lead, she's put 3 minutes between herself and second.

wow, Norman looks awesome!

I'm sure I'm the only one that doesn't know this,..but why isn't Michelle(sp?) Jones racing?

Norman looks ridiculously strong off the bike -jeez!

I remember hearing about how the volunteers wear plastic gloves, since the bikes are nasty from peeing.

Norman's got the compression socks on... Lieto is gonna get it.... Suck too because I like Lieto...

Is it only Kona, or all Ironman (TM) events?

Only one penalty that I saw. He never really came back from that one.

Torn right calf in Ironman Cancun 70.3

No, injury.

My friend Bryan is through 88 miles in 5:11:41, 21.1mph.

When I was talking to Lieto last year after Clearwater he was saying he was prepared to run with Macca out at the energy lab. But the reality was that macca was hammering. Now he's with Norman. I wonder if he feels he can hang here. This would really make for some interesting racing.

Crowie just came up the hill... Man it's on now!

Not a big fan of the compression socks. I think 1970's basketball like Bill Walton

So about how fast are they running here? 6:30 min/miles or so?

The announcers don't like them either.

Everyone thought compression would be big this past year, it will be huge in 2009. I still love mine regardless of what all you compression haters say.

Lieto looking like it's damage control time.
Norman looks really relaxed and has a great cadence.

Jonathan 22 update ... just passed 59 miles Avg down to 16.03 sounds good!
