Nice one Jimmy. Bad luck Jawa.

I can't help thinking Vernon has had some kind of problem. I know he was hoping for approx 10.10. Hard to imagine he miscalculated by such a margin


Update, he just finished. 10.32 and change

Vernon just finished, congrats Vernon.

Will that get Vernon to Kona?

Lets not forget Transitioner Iron Titanik who is also racing in Taupo today. Only 6mths after giving birth I think too.

Iron CLM is there too but I don't think she has been on Trannies for a while.

Ronnie 154 or Steely 054 edit:  I wrote down the wrong numbers the wrong way round

The site has Lawn as 09:30:13 total time

maybe a bit of controversy. Give her a 3 sec penalty to be sure (I have 056 ticket)

martin 153 and jackfrost 053

Vernons time is around 10:20 have to wait for results to come up to get confirmed time.
as for Kona hmmm..... He maybe close, not sure.

just in
Vernon 10:26:35 might be shade to far away for Kona.

JoR, Newman & Shuffler
should be to far away, if they maintained their pace. They were only between 5 & 10 min behind Vernon at the 1st split time.

As for Dan B, I didn't hear him come in and he was infront of Vernon.
(Dan is a regular attendee of the NSTC training rides)

There must be a discrepancy between the race clock and the clock on IM Live then

Internet lag time FP

I have an 8minute difference. between IMlive time and the video feed clock time.

So is it still Steely and I for the raffle.

there are discrepancies in the timing - what looks to be the official timing says .13

in the update section where they have written it says .14 as per plazbots post!!!!!!!

this will need to be clarified - but currently it look like the official time ends with a 3!!!

Newman crosses the line.
Congrats Newman.

Currently the results are all provisional
So we will have to see what they confirm.

JoR just crossed the line.
Well done JoR, congratulations

These are the results as listed in the athletes results page.
Cameron Brown 10/2/1 32 00:46:23 04:40:46 02:48:27 08:20:14
Joanna Lawn 39/38/30 31 00:51:37 05:14:51 03:19:12 09:30:13

what they posted in the leaders board is plus 1 sec.


hmmm........................

looks like we will have to wait that little bit longer to see what ones are the right ones.
I kind of think the athlete results page are more likely to be it because I think they are taken from the timming chips.
wait and see.!!!!!!!

I think I heard them say Dan B has just crossed the line. (pretty sure it was)
He must have blown out on the run. He is a good runner to. Must have haad a hard day.
Congrats on the finish Dan. (1st Ironman)

Still to finish.
Avago
bbig004
BigChris
Shuffler



Shuffler was running close to Newman & JoR at first split, so must have faded.
BigChris should be next in depending on the whereabouts off shuffler

Shuffler has crossed. I missed him.
11:46:10

congrats shuffler

Hi all. Have just caught with all that's going. Great job once again Bourne.

How about Scott Molina eh... 45 years old and still goes sub 9:30... and wins age group to boot!

Way to go Avago. Congratulations.
was that a big smile?

Big Chris has finished in 12:17. Great job!

Congratulations BigChris, way to go.

Only bbig004 to bring us all home.
shouldn't be to far away either.

Direct from NZ: rumour has it that Jo Lawn jumped the start by 8 seconds!

DQ her. It is a disgrace. She is a cheat

I am only joking. Well done everyone especially Jimmy C. Wait and see if he gets that Hawaii spot. Fingers crossed for you mate.

Thats the way Tracey make the crowd jump for those give aways

bbig004 still out there travelling.
finish estimate, sometime in the next 10-15mins. (within 13:55:00)

A class act from the Swede's

QUOTE

Bjorn Andersson and Clas Borling are a couple of neat athletes. One bikes like a demon and the other runs like a gazelle - usually. Today it didn't go quite according to plan with Bjorn finding the brick wall in the ride and Clas a similar obstacle in the run. But they didn't give up! And they walked home, together - to a huge applause from the equally huge crowd here in Taupo

Sad to report the rigours of a tough day on course in Ironman New Zealand have been too much for double lung transplant and CF sufferer, Scott Johnson. Johnson went through the swim and bike in fine form, but once the heat of what has been a very warm day in Taupo set in, the native of Northern Carolina fund the going getting tougher and tougher and though persevering through to Five Mile Bay on the run, finally pulled the pin to save any possible medical problems. I have to admire this quietly determined young man and his quest to finish the Ironman, and I'm guessing his quest will continue!

What happened to Bella Comerford??? She seemed to be going so well

Thats a huge effort by Scott Johnson, regardless of a non finish.
It's an impressive recovery from such a serious procedure.

Bella Comerford was 18mins behind at the 15km point in the run.
That was the last we heard of her.
But looks like a DNF. No results listed for the run.

14:25:30 and 932 finishers.


I blew my estime off bbigs speed.
bbig004 was in 955th at first run split, so if he holds around that position he should be nearby.
Hang in there & bring it home young fella.

QUOTE (kamalarrowsmith @ Mar 5 2005, 12:51 PM) Andersson is so disappointing. Lack of preparation? Hell, he was on Epic Camp out training everyone, per the daily reports. Yea , something not quite right there !

It may have been said already (as I'm just reading through all the posts now), but the issue today was lack of preparation time, not lack of effort or will to do well. Sure, he was hammering at Epic, but Epic was also the beginning of his training, as he'd just returned from a 6 - 8 week forced lay-off to let his foot injury heal.

Was that bbig004 called out as finishing??
walk away for a cup of Tea so didn't hear it properly.
Definately called a Brian from Aukland though.

If so, under 15hrs great job Brian. congratulations.

yep confirmed.
bbig004 finished in a time of 14:52:48

That finishes up the listed transitioners.

Now for the raffle draw.......................................

Good job to all the Trannies. I hope to make NZ my first IM in 2006. These threads are excellent.

Don't forget to inlude Jo Lawn's 8-second penalty


(can you tell I just figured out where to get the bonus smileys?)

If the times on the athletes page is correct, then I think that GSP and Froggo are still in the running for the raffle.

Yep thats what I figure GSP.

I havn't seen or heard anything regarding a Jump start though, Apart from Webby's post of course.

can I go for a ride now


Ahhhh there is nothing like them playing the Proclaimers, "and I would walk 500 miles & I would walk 500 more.........................."
sorry I didn't do it. they did.

Nah thats a hoot. "what will you do with a drunken sailor, what will you do with a drunken sailor,what will you do with a drunken sailor, so early in the morning"
where are they getting their song list
wah hey and up she rises...................

Good job Bourne. As for the ride, you have missed it (by 15 hours). Was pretty quiet this morning. We missed you.

You riding the TT tomorrow? If so, good luck. Hope to see you next week.

Since people haven't figured it out yet, Jo Lawn's race was perfectly legit. However, if, by some strange chance, se were to be penalised 8 seconds, then I'd win the wheels ;-)

...though it appears Cam's time has been revised to end in 4, not 5, so I'll need him to be penalised a second as well.

Yep Im heading up for the TT and will then do a long ride afterwards.
Just had 4 days of no training and I'm ready to roll. (nothing over the top though)

Yes, well done to everyone, competitors & supporters! Hope everyone hit their targets & will have fingers crossed for those aiming for slots.

I was thinking tounge in check there WebS. but then you never know.
