Bourne, just curious as to who will be doing your (this) job come IMA. Do you have anyone lined up yet?

hmmmm... yeah it will be a little tricky.

If I'm clever, I can maybe get something going where I can automate the whole lot.
But I doubt I'll be able to get it going in time.

I saw Newman with his transitions cap, on the start of his second run lap. He looked so happy to be there! JoR was not far behind and (I can only assume) starting her first lap of the run.

It's really warming up here with a bite in the sun.

BigChris has gone through T2
bike split 6:07:10

Keep at it Big Chris!!!

Bernie,
Newman & JoR are were only 3mins apart coming out of T2. So they are both on the same lap.

Have a good ride guys.

Thanks, Bourne. Did. Great updates. Go JimmyC and all!

Cam Brown takes the honours with a course record time?? of 8:20:15

edit:
race time edit

What happened to JVW? Gordo 2nd, Rhodes 3rd, 20 mins aftre Brown. But no JVW yet

Andersson is so disappointing. Lack of preparation? Hell, he was on Epic Camp out training everyone, per the daily reports.

it said he was fading. Poor John

Good question Aidan.
It did look (or sound) like he was runniny pretty well about halfway through

Anyone can do all the work and still have a bad day. You never had a bad day K2???

I think I'd better stop typing right now.....

Oh crap. Why couldn't Cam have been 1 second faster???? My raffle tickets would be in for a chance then!

So who's raffle tickets have a 5 in the middle??

I've got 154

Yesterday, Foxy.

He's a pro trying to make a living. That's 3 bad days in a row, Kona, Florida, NZ.

I give up

AAAwwwwwww Crap!
No *5* for me.

who's running this damn thing.


I reckon Cam was doggen it. Surely he could have gone 1 sec. faster.
or if not even 1 sec slower would have been ok.

Webswim is looking like he is in with a good shot. All 3 of his tickets have a 5 in the middle.
and if the womens winner finishes with a 1 sec. Webswim will be rolling sweetly. (tickets 051 & 151)

Didn't it say somewhere in the fine print you had to be a naturalized Australian, hold a current Australian drivers licence or have done a triathlon or something? anything?

Hasn't he just bought a new bike????

Hey chances are we will know who won (the bike/wheels) before 3pm Qld time right?

That will depend on Jo Lawn, if she finishes with a 1 sec.
otherwise we will have to wait for the race cutoff time which is about 8pm (Aust EST)

Hymie can txt ya Ronnie

BLOODY HELL.............
Was that a 1 or 2 ??????

If I don't do some packing soon we won't be going anywhere!

Is that the ladies winner?

Jo Lawn takes out the womens in a time of 9:30:14




The provisional winning ticket contains *54

Ronnie 154
or
Steely 054



edit: I wrote down the wrong numbers the wrong way round

BRING ON THE 1 baby!!!!!!




(very quietly excited here)

50% chance now Ronnie
Now go pack.

I can't. I need to know.

But don't you have to wait till they've all finished to know the total number of finishers?

GO Ronnie GO RONNIE

If anyone deserves it you do girl.....

jimmy ran first section of marathon around 4.45min/kms....

awesome!!!!

must be coming round to the finish real soon!

Beats me FL. I didn't read the rules.

Oh that's right, we have trannies racing don't we

Don't jump up and down and stuff your knees fiat! (Hope they are doing well)

strange - jimmy's third section of his marathon hasn't shown up.... verystrange...

at his current pace i'd expect him to come in at around 9.55 ...

anyone heard anything??

well at least the wheels will be going to a good home - in Queensland

The second split times haven't come through yet.
I think thats more of a case of the site not being updated very quick.

Bloody hell. Who has the other ticket. Can't see for friggin looking!

what distance is the run split?

what's with the /mile? - I assume Vernon is not really running at 4:03/mile.

Hi All,

Just letting you all know that I DNFed 5 km into the run. Legs just didnt want to work and I was having problems breathing. Had know idea Jimmy C was just so close to me. Found the wind on the second lap of the Bike very taxing, was expecting to ride sub 5 hrs after the first lap. Is very warm out there as well.

JAWA

Go Ronnie, go Ronnie!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't think of anyone who deserves it more (no offence Steely, I'm sure you'd like it as well...)

How's that for a commited Trannie.


Bad luck jawa. I guess you just never know what is going to be thrown at you on the day.


Thinking of you.


Ronnie

bad luck jawa - tough day at the office by the sounds of it

Well text me if I win OK. Good luck Steely.

0417 856 271

Good Luck to the rest of the Trannie team racing today. Love you all.


Ronnie

Bad luck Jawa. Just steel yourself for K2's comments

Jimmy just finished.

Congrats Jimmy great stuff.

well done JC....

Run splits are (from what I have gatherd) is
split 1 = 13.1km
split 2 = 13.1km
split 3 = 16.0km


the */mile figure comes from ironmanlive.
Yanks can't work in metric.

I've been busy trying to reprogram to read the results clean out the crap bits and convert (some stuff was in imperial ie:bike speeds were in miles until I changed it all.

so that 4:03 is actually 4:03min/km
(they got the numbers right but not their units

Well done Jimmy C. Great race!


(it's ok. I'm packed)

Bad luck jawa sorry to here you had to drop out.
