Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 81)

It's go time!

Hope to see many of you out there

Have a blast.

Today is a great day to become an Ironman.

Is there a 'Race Day Tracker' spreadsheet for the Florida BT peeps?  Anyone??

No there is not.  I posted a message asking if there was a list and never got a response.

Sue has less than 5 miles to go on the bike and Kathy is 10-12 miles behind her.  Hope they are both feeling good!!

This is the WORST the IM tracker has ever been.  No splits whatsoever and then it took forever to get the final bike times, at minimal. 

The GPS tool is great and Troy's app is awesome- FB updates happen before the ironman.com updates!  Nice job Troy!

Sue is in T2!!

looks like Kathy is picking up the pace a bit.  I bet it is the energy around the turnaround.  she has 1 hr, 35 minutes to make it to mile 19 (3.3 miles) and 3 h 35 and to make it 11.7 miles.  Looks like she is going to make it!!!

Sue is about to enter the state park and I think triplebypat (I think it is him) is just out of the state park.

Go BTers!!!

It looks like Sue is just about out of the State park at 14hrs, and Kathy is almost 3/4 of the way to the State Park turn around.  go girls go!

I just want to thank everyone here for all the great advice and encouragement.   Because of your help I am an IRONMAN.  God I love the sound of that.  My long shot goal was to break 14 hour.  Ended up at 13:19.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

The bike was tough.  I finished 30 min later that I planned.  The wind killed me.  But, my goal, based on your advice was to not push it so I could have a good run.  And that I did. 

I'll need to look up how everyone else did. 

Thanks again,

Oh yea, signed up for 2012 (14 of my peeps are racing in 2012)

Sue finished about 8 minutes ago.  Kathy is 3.15 miles from the finish and seems to be holding a 16-17 minute pace.  she should finish with about 10 minutes to spare.

Interesting - I remember last year I (and a lot of other people had measured the run course long.  my athlete tracker is saying it is 27.35 miles.

I just checked athlete tracked and at 11:03 it looks like Kathy is on the back residential street with about 3 miles to go.

I saw triplebypat on the run and gave out a BT yell.

Overall a great day....ocean was nice and calm, bike was windy especially those last 5 miles along the coast and the weather was perfect for the run.

Great job everyone. Congrats to all the BT Ironmen!
