Kona World Championships (Page 2)

ah! I got it. it has started....

It's crazy how fast Potts can pull away from top shelf professionals like that in the swim.  They can't even stay on his feet.
I saw it at Timberman too and it was ridiculous how far in front he gets.

I'm disappointed Chrissie isn't in it.  For me the race just got a lot less interesting, even if it will be more competitive.  She is such a draw, and without her it's a lot less fun.

Hello Saturday, 

Watching Kona, Cleaning my bikes and imagining what it is like to be there.

 

Man this really makes me want to go sub-10 sometime soon. Unbelievable stuff.

Coverage is good, but as usual the audio is pretty poor. Wish they could get the real time production quality up a little bit.

I agree its a little low.. but still cool.

I see Lieto crushing it. 

What is briancd bib number?  for some reason ironman tracking does not know his bt name.  sheesh

hmm. i'm getting real time updates and live coverage for free. no complaints here.

Check your settings (the ones offered by the link-up).  My vol. was low, too.  But, I enhanced it.  It's perfect, now.

Bryan is Bib No. 936

How do you do that ?

pretty awesome....but honestly 160k people on the stream...thought there would be at least 500k watching.

street fighter 4 tournament in the usa had a stream of 115k

edit i guess the stream is increasing now....

This is flippin' fantastic!

Bryan's in with a 1:04:28 swim....about a minute and a half slower than he wanted but still very good.

also a bit slower for the leaders no? not bad Bryan!

Yes, Potts was a couple minutes slower than last year. So it was probably right on target for Bryan.

That is a good swim.  The current on the "back" was strong - against (according to the announcers).

The word is that Henning might have accidentally left his swim skin on out of T1.
wow. what do you do?

This is funny - we have at least two IM Kona watching threads here and on the IM board.  That's ok, fun to hop back and forth.

Now I hear some chick (pro) cut the bike course.

Are you kidding me?

this...

unless she has a good reason, she is going to look very very dumb...

What does that mean, 'cut the bike course'?

Took a shortcut, either accidentally or intentionally.

Any early bets on a winner.  There are alot of athletes out there that look very strong.
