Hey, Rob, congrats!!! Question for you...what part of t2 did you skip?  You threw down a 2:52?!  That was on par with the 2nd pro finisher...like, how'd that go down?  Did you 1) discard your bike, 2) want so badly to get to the run you just didn't care, 3) were you messing with sasquatch?  Clue us in, that was a serious transition.... 

 

They grab your bike at the dismount - I whipped off my bike shoes so I could run in my socks since you have to run a little ways on concrete (they were already soaked and I was going to be changing them anyway, so I figured that wouldn't matter. Grabbed my bag, ran into the tent, quickly changed socks, threw on my shoes, and ran out.

Was it really raining all day. Yuck! Plus was it as brutal in Lake Placid as the rest of the east coast?
This seems to be one heck of a day.

With all the coke I drank on the course today, I won't be sleeping for a while . Plus I'm just really happy to be out of the rain and sitting with my feet up!

 Yes, yes it was. It poured nearly all day, and when it wasn't downpouring, it was just raining heavily .  We first noticed it during the swim - if you are swimming and can still notice rain, then you know it's coming down pretty seriously...

Ironman.com says it may be a world record for that age group

The athlete tracker shows that Jess finished in 13:11 !! So there's no need to worry.  Looks like the timing mat didn't work for her on the run.  She must have come in just before Kelly.  Nice job Jess!

The temp this afternoon was only in the mid 60's, so the people who were walking looked especially miserable - I saw people with teeth chattering and looking like they could easily go hypothermic. Send your thoughts out to the people still on the course as it is getting colder now that it is dark, and it is still raining.

I think that was KenJ that just finished

WOO HOO!!!!!

You know what would be really helpful is to get the original list that's on page 1 with the people's full name and race # showing the people still on the course. I keep it up on the screen so I can reference it
