Official IMCanada Race Day Thread
The Team EN tracker and all other related links are on the Dashboard. This place is where you can keep the Team updated on what's going on, your observations, etc....it becomes a really cool record for the athletes to review afterwards too!!! Thanks Te

God luck ENers!! Looking at Glenn Hartrick's bike splits (a Mapso member and fellow Runner's World featured athlete along side of EN alum Jonathan Lieberman) indicates there must be one hell of a descent in that third bike leg. Mercy!
Whoops, looks like the IM Canada servers are not updating. Either that or everyone has been eaten by a bear.
Some kind of nasty hill work going on in that run leg leading up to the 26.2 Km split.
I'm glued to the tracker....work tomorrow be damned! LOL!
Come on guys, get it done! You got this!
(And yes, there must be SOMETHING prior to that 26.2KM mark that's slowing everyone down, but I thought the total elevation gain was only 700 feet on this course? Maybe it's all in one place!)
Another very solid run from Robin.
Curious to hear about the bike course, I'm thinking there's a whole lot more elevation than the 4.2k that the IM site claims.
thanks all.
pretty complete race for me. with adjustment factor for tough bike, may be a personal best overall race.
trevor the stats seem to support your idea. and subjectively this was my worst recent ranking with my best performance.
had to slow down on the later half of the run. gi issues (always something new to figure out each race. I assume too much fluid and gels on the last tough climb on the bike. though I did the same nutrition plan that I did for two successful cool races last year).
around mile 23 on the run, had a 3 minute potty stop for gi blowout. glad I didn't miss kona by that much (me 32nd. rollldown to 16th. 19 minutes out of the money.) though when I make kona, will be happy to finish with poop streaked legs.
congrats to all our racers.
special mention to our highest ranker Sheila McCann. very close to the podium. and darn close to qualifying.
