Master  1882     Chandler, Arizona |  Subject: RE: IMAZ watching threadranger5oh - 2008-04-13 2:55 PM What was the point of showing the finishing line for 30-40 minutes? Hey no Shiz! Other then Kona this is the first IM that I've watched online and I don't want to sound like a whinny b_itch but this coverage blows. They should know that only family, friends and die hard triathlon fans are gonna watch it so they should provide full coverage with commentary of the event. It's gonna really suck to just see the winners cross the line without any analysis on their performance. |

Master 1882 Chandler, Arizona | Subject: RE: IMAZ watching thread I mean looks what's going on and we're missing it: Close race, anyone? RACETIME: 08:14 How's this for exciting -- through 23 miles this race is getting crazy! JAMES BONNEY (#4) is in the lead. Then we have: * TJ TOLLAKSON (#33) at 24 seconds * JORDAN RAPP (#24) at 1:24 * JOZSEF MAJOR (#2) at 1:44 * RENE GOEHLER (#28) Edited by Mirg 2008-04-13 5:02 PM |

Elite 2706 Hurst, Texas | Subject: RE: IMAZ watching thread Sorry to sound like a broken record, but does anyone know where Doughboy is at on the course? No 2nd bike split yet, and if he isn't through the 2nd loop, the cutoff time is looking very daunting. GO STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Can someone sumarize quickly the last dozen pages? What happened to Aaron? Did Chris's chip problem get worked out? Who's in, who's out?

~Mike Aaron couldn't hold down any nutrition after the bike, so his coach told him to walk it in. He has started running again, but wull have a rough afternoon I'm afraid. We haven't heard anything else about ChrisM. |

Veteran 105 | Subject: RE: IMAZ watching thread My sister is out there supporting docshock. I just talked to her and she said doughboy had 3 flats and some issues with a cleat on his bike shoe and has dropped out. Tough day for him and dodgersmom. I feel horrible for them. Docshock is a few miles into the run and apparently is smiling and looking good |

Extreme Veteran 557 | Subject: RE: IMAZ watching thread Steve (doughboy) dropped out just before SN (about mile 54) with mechanical problems. He had three flats and then lost a cleat somehow. He said the winds were brutal. Both Steve and Marcy are doing well and are planning on signing up for next year!! |
