The live news coverage is reporting stiff headwinds up towards Hawi.

A very fast first 5 mile bike splits. I think they have a favorable wind in town. I'm following two local guys, one pro Lewis Elliot and an 20-24 AG'er Bryan Melnuk who trains with my coach. Lewis was 26 mph through the first 5 miles and Bryan was 23+. Jacob came through in 22mph. Last year I only averaged 20.57 through there.

If I didn't make the time cutoff the LAST thing I'd want to do would be an interview!

I was thinking that same thing.

He seemed really happy though! I guess that's because even though he missed the cutoff, he missed the cutoff at Kona...

I'm wondering how long Ford will remain a title sponsor, with the way the American auto industry is going in this economy.

Don't know why it never occured to me till today that as a lottery entrant you are in a field of qualifiers -yipes! I guess if I missed the cutoff I'd still be happy to be there -but I'm a BOP, different perspective!

Jonathan is through 28 miles @ 18.5 mph. I think this is where their headwind starts based on reports from the course.
My buddy Bryan is through there at 23.5mph, beats my 21.97! He's a monster on the bike. He did a 100 mile training ride averaging around 25mph this past Spring! Kid's super fast.
