Guess my Ironman New Zealand time. (Page 2)

I didn't think to ask if this is like a BQ? For example, my BQ time (35yr old male) is 3hr 15min, though I could do 3hr 15min 59sec and still BQ. I didn't add in any seconds here...

Might have to revise the formula...

15:10.

I have not researched anything. Just taking a stab. Went a little longer because no one has gone into the 15's yet.

Good Luck! Whatever you do, have FUN.

Thanks all.  Had a new pool 3900M (2.4 mile) swim PR tonight 1:26:20.  Previous best was 1:30:03.  Masters coach started helping me about 3 weeks ago and I'm starting to see results. 

Last Sunday I ran into him at the pool and he jumped in and gave me a few pointers on my pull and head position.  That same day I swam my best 100M ever at 1:56.  Before that one little lesson my best was a 2:05.  Huge difference, I spent 2 days at a TI clinic and all I did was slow down.  Wish I woulda found this guy a few months back.

Free Tee-Shirt?  Sign me up...


I'm gonna go with 14:26

Have Fun

Awesome! IMNZ will be my first this year as well, nice to see a BT'er down in my part of the world. I'm picking 13 hr 54min.

I think you will love it...I rode the course last weekend, it's in good condition.

Alrighty... it does not look like your logs are complete for 2009.  So that makes it hard to know how much of a base you had built up.  I have to assume that you are faster than you will perform as I can't assume you have put in the miles becasue they aren't posted on your logs.  That said I will go with 14:15 for the T-Shirt time.  If you put in a lot more miles before you started logging in 2009 you might go a lot faster than that.  You are going to really have to pace your bike (16-16.5 mph) and your run (11:30 or so ) as your bike miles are not huge and your run miles are low.  It looks like your swim is about as good as you are going to get it around 2:00/100 or so pace to not smoke yourself on the swim.

13:55...enjoy the race!

My completely random guess is 13:14.

I'm going with 13:53:10

 
Have a great time!

I was going to with a 14:15, but after seeing that wheelset I'm going to have to go with a 13:28.

You nailed it!

Did it in 12:59:20

Let me know where to send the shirt.

No, YOU nailed it    Congrats Ironman!!!  I'll PM The address.

Looking forward to the race report

Awesome!  Way to gut it out to beat your goal time.

Congrats IRONMAN!

Great Job...and good beating your time...and CRUSHING my guess.

Bah I was close. You must have slacked a bit on the third bike stage?

Ha yeah, a little, winds were howlin on the 2nd loop

couldn't be happier that i was wrong, great race and an amazing time. looking forward to the RR

Wow...I think you smashed the majority of the guesses.
