Kona World Championships (Page 11)

top three really close re: times.

unofficial 8:10:xx.... WOW.

yea, only in some crazy dreams!

forget raising my arms...I'M BRINGING SPONGES!!!!

1 8:10:37 4 McCormack, Chris Burraneer NSW AUS 51:36 1:43 4:31:51 1:58 2:43:31 
2 8:12:17 1:40 3 Raelert, Andreas Drage GER 51:27 1:54 4:32:27 2:05 2:44:25 
3 8:13:14 2:37 23 Vanhoenacker, Marino Jabbeke BEL 51:33 1:59 4:31:00 1:58 2:46:46

imagine going 8:12 and still losing

How far out is Carfrae?

"what womens race" 

that is how it feels like from this coverage...i think if chrissie was there it would be a bit different.

i don't think i could fathom running a 2:41:xx marathon as a stand alone, much less as a finish to an IM.

that's just outright amazing.

Wow.  Lieto not even top 10.  I wouldn't have called that.

i thought he would be top 5...hammering the bike doesn't always pay off...

any news on bryan?

I'm not at all surprised...he set up a race strategy to give him a chance to win.  If he came off the bike with a smaller lead to save it for the run...it wouldn't have mattered.  He can't run sub 2:47.

His second run split should be coming up any time if he's holding his pace.

Getting worried since they haven't posted his 10 mile split yet.

What's up with the audio since men's leaders finished I hear two different commentators at the same time..quite annoying.

Bryan is thru first run timing mat..

OTAL SWIM	2.4 mi. (1:04:28)	1:41/100m	475	62

TOTAL RUN	26.2 mi. (--:--)	--/mile	344	51

Just posted it he's now running 8:41, picking up.

Oops.  He's hanging tough:

RUN SPLIT 1	5 mi. (44:51)	8:58/mile
RUN SPLIT 2	10.2 mi. (45:11)	8:41/mile

agreed last year he was 3:02 hard to take that down to 2:45....especially if they are riding 300w+

i'm still amazed at Peter jacob's time - 2:41:06

check the mcmillan on those times: http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/cgi-bin/calc.pl

I mean, 1mi-4:46, 5k-16:32, 10k-34:20, 13.1-1:16:23. Those times are nothing to sneeze at! Just amazing.

he is picking it up a bit....hope he hangs on....

I'm amazed at how many people are in black, it just has to be so hot.

Andy Potts coming in, curious to here what went wrong or what he'll take from this

I race in black...in Hawaii.  I don't notice a difference with the moisture wicking fabric.  It doesn't retain heat like cotton does.

It would be good to see his next split come up at about 9:40pm
