BT'er Tom Gerlach IMFL 2012 - Congratulations Tom

Congrats!

Congrats to Tom on a great time, but did you see Starky?

4:04 on the bike solo, yep 4:04 for 112mi, and then hold on for the win. After his year, pretty damn amazing. (If you are not sure about his year, chceck out his blog and in particualr the entry "I did time"

Exactly. 

I'm not only delighted Thomas had a solid race, but it looks like Friggin Andreas Fuchs was his race partner for the better part of the day. Swim splits identical, bike splits identical. Dunno how the run went, but....

...Thomas scored 11th, Andreas 13th, 1:30 down. Nice work, always love seeing a cheater fade into some place lower than Thomas claimed. 

Solid. Well done.

Congratulations sir

Hey thanks all for the kind words.  It was a long legal train of pro racers and the pace was hot from the get go. As the miles progressed the stronger riders showed thru but we had three mottos with us for most of the race and always had at least 1.  Very clean bike for the most part, but there were a couple of REDs card handed out along the way.  Regardless Starky is an absolute animal.  Rides like a man possessed.  

Congrats to everyone that finished out there as well.  The swim was challenging and the run was hot.  I had a great time and I hope to back to PCB in future years!!!
