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 Team!

Good Luck to the whole team this weekend!!!

Windy, warm and humid today in PCB. Lot's of peeps rolling their bikes up and down Surf Drive where I'm camped with the family. Four keys talk with coach Patrick was excellent. Team dinner at Bonefish Grill. Looking forward to calmer seas and a swim in the AM. Need to eat a decent breakfast tomorrow and haul all my stuff over to bike check in. All my bags are laid out on the floor of the condo. So much to keep track of. Saw many of the legendary wicked smart members today. Trying to absorb (and create) that positive energy.

bring that good stuff all

Brenda Ross · November 1, 2013 6:59AM

Good luck. Hopefully the waters will be calm, the bike ride smooth and the run effortless. We will be sending our MOJO your way.

Good luck to all in Florida. Have a great race and have a blast!

Mark Roberts · November 1, 2013 9:07AM

Leaving for Florida soon. (Short drive for me). My family and I will be in EN gear and out in force!

Joe Matchette · November 1, 2013 3:10PM

Best of execution to each and every one of you!

My wife is volunteering this weekend -- at Bike Check-in today, Body marking tomorrow early AM, and then as a catcher starting around 6:00 pm -- and is on the lookout for EN athletes.

Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow. You've done all the hard work in getting ready, now it's time to execute and crush it!

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 7:37AM

So for some reason WTC isn't showing the swim on the live feed (even though they have a link for it). But word is that the waves calmed down a bit from earlier in the week. From the pics I'm seeing, it still looks a bit rough out there. Hope everyone is safe!

Brenda Ross · November 2, 2013 8:00AM

Oh my gosh, that swim looks rough. 52:43 was the fastest age grouper time this year in Florida. The waves are so loud, you can not hear the announcer.

Darren Freeman · November 2, 2013 8:15AM

Just saw Michael Johnson pass through on the T1 Cam..

robin sarner · November 2, 2013 8:24AM

some nice swims times!

panama city is not eastern time zone?

Joe Matchette · November 2, 2013 8:28AM

Central. just across the dividing line

So excited to see everyone getting it done. Shout out to my Warner Robins buddies -- Blake Stoner and Jerry Barnett!! You guys were worried about the swim, but you finished it strong. WTG!!

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 9:53AM

Great to see everyone made it out of the water OK and are all onto the bike. Some good first bike splits coming in too!

Mark Roberts · November 2, 2013 10:48AM

If IM tracker is correct Tim Cronk is running 2nd in age group!

Darren Freeman · November 2, 2013 11:05AM

Just got a shot of John Withrow on the left under the "live" feed icon walking around down by the T1 camera.. HA!

robin sarner · November 2, 2013 12:02PM

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 12:58PM

Tim is ROCKIN that bike! Amazing after the crash earlier this year.

robin sarner · November 2, 2013 1:17PM

Tim first starting the run!

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 1:21PM

Incredible!!!! Take that you stupid bike crash!

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 4:13PM

Anyone else having trouble with the IM Tracker?

Marc Robards · November 2, 2013 4:16PM

WTC is having issues with their new Athlete Tracker. The EN Tracker is still getting splits from their old version, but those seem to be lagging a little behind.

As usual, as soon as WTC updates the splits they'll be on the EN Tracker.

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 4:22PM

Thanks Marc. I knew it wasn't our fault!

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 4:43PM

Just saw Tim Cronk finish! 9:39 according to the clock over his head. But the tracker still isn't working so no idea where he placed. But he's gotta be happy- he's had an incredible year.

Marc Robards · November 2, 2013 4:45PM

It looks like he placed 3rd..got passed by 2 guys around mile 5 or so...still an awesome performance so close to Kona!

robin sarner · November 2, 2013 4:46PM

yes incredible tim.

Nemo Brauch · November 2, 2013 4:46PM

And he beat Rinny :-)

[Deleted User] · November 2, 2013 5:03PM

Awesome race Tim! Looks like you KQ again! Very impressive performance! Enjoy your success.

Natalie Cayer Pilon · November 2, 2013 5:27PM
