Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread (Page 20)

I received an email from WTC today with links to 1) Results page on www.ironmanracine.com  2) ASI photo website where photos will be posted in the next few days  3) My official Ironman 70.3 finishers certificate. I'm guessing that everyone else either already has or will be receiving a very similar email. 

I'm pretty sure the results will be posted on www.onlineraceresults.com.

Thanks to everyone who cheered and volunteered at IM Racine 70.3!!! 

It definitely felt like we were swimming into a very slight current, but I don't think it was 15 knots.  According to onlineconversion.com,  15 knots = 17.26 MPH.  Definitely sounds like an Endless Pool situation to me. 

I *think* it's the difference of meters vs yards.  The BT defaults to yards, since a yard is shorter than a meter, you get to 100 yards more quickly.

FYI

The results are now on onlineraceresults.com.

Hi Denise,

Thank you for the follow up.  You are correct there were 2150 registered for the event and only 1740 finishers.  We had about 100 DNF the event.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Sincerely,
Scott

 So, if this is correct, there were 1840 actual racers.

Thanks for the heads up that the results are available in their entirety. Pretty pathetic that we have to go to a secondary vendor for complete race results.

Same as last year...the "official ironman" web experience is second rate.

onlineraceresults.com only shows results for those who finished the entire race.  I was hoping to see how many others ended up dropping out in my AG (along with me) and at what point.  Can't find that on either site.  Phooey.

The medics were great though.  One of the fire department guys let me borrow his cell phone to call the hubs at home so he wouldn't worry when my bike split never appeared.  They also let me hang in the air conditioned ambulance while waiting for the sag van to show up and haul me back to transition. 

Which reminds me, did anyone else see the three car pile-up on the expressway by the second aid station?  Someone was gawking at the race and several cars crashed and spun out.  It diverted all the aid station personnel so if anyone got stuck waiting for a medic that's why.

Sorry about your having to drop.

This is the email for the timing people.  Ask them to send you the info you want.  I got a quick response.  Maybe if they get enough requests they will realize they need to make that info available.

I was looking for that info early on, and since they make it so hard to find, do you suppose they don't really want people to know the details on DNFs?  I looked at some of the smaller age groups that had 100 people or less to try to get an idea of the DNF percentage, and what it really seemed to indicate is there were a ton of DNS...but the DNF rate looked to be about 5-10% like they said.  Also, in the 2010 result book they only show finishers.  The book is the fancy pdf product IM puts out after everything is sorted out.  So if you didn't finish, it's like you were never there at all.  I don't know how to feel about that...seems sort of sad...plenty of people who DNF'd gave it their all.  Oh well, minor point overall I guess.

Crazy about that car crash!  Hope nobody was hurt.

The 2010 results book did have the DNFs listed at the end of the full results list but not in the age group lists

Aha, thank you for pointing that out!

ASI has photo's up:  HERE

Pretty cool that they added a finishers video!  I dig it.
