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!

Woody Freese

SOOOOO excited for everyone who is doing the Big dance in Tempe! Race hard... but RACE SMART - and leave it all on the course!!

Best to everyone this weekend. God's speed and a SAFE race. Something we should all be grateful for at this time of year! I will be watching you all.

Have a great day in the desert. Earn your dessert. Give thanks to being free to move.

Good luck and remember - NO FRIENDS ON THE RUN COURSE!

W. T. F!!!!! The bike speeds on the 4th split!!! Sub 3 mph. That's right, THREE miles per hour. What is this, a cyclocross course?

Marc Robards

It's just typical bad tracker data from WTC. They usually work it out eventually.

tim cronk

WTC Tracker is the classic definition of insanity...... They do the same thing over and over and over again , expecting different results..... WE keep thinking OK maybe this will be the race they straighten everything out and it will actually work.... NOPE!!!

Peter Wick

I wonder if folks are WALKING their bikes up that thing but I'll take your word for it on the goofy website stuff. Sure looks funny though, like that section of IMLT's bike course. ;-)

Peter Wick

Ahh, the updates make more sense now. It was entertaining while it lasted.

robin sarner

Some folks having a solid bike

Kori Martini

Rian Bogle is TEARING IT UP out there!!!! Dude is smokin' that course!

Robert Sabo

Jeff Unruh

Chris,

AGreed - Al looking SOLID!!

Brian Comiskey posted on the Dashboard he is OK but had to call it at mile 10 of the run with "sudden PF" or some type of heel bruise coming from the swim exit.

tim cronk

Al is on pace to beat his 2011 IMAZ time of 11:25.... Come on Al .... slowing down is not an option... show us how to finish strong!

robin sarner

Joe Matchette

Excellent work all the way around!

Jason Brandt

Thanks for all the positive thoughts for us IMAZ EN athletes. I completed my first ironman and beat my race plan predictions. Workworks

Al Truscott

Just came back from the EN post race get together. SO MANY PEOPLE HAD AWESOME RACES with double digit PRs. Goes without saying, but will say anyway...EN rocks. I had One Thing A, B, C, D. D was "the whole world is watching" meaning, among others, all you guys here. Didnt want to let you down. That got me from mile 25 to the finish.

And, yes, I did negative split the run. Slowing Down Is Not An Option.

morpheus

Way to go to Everyone!

Al, really enjoyed watching those run splits come in as textbook as could be.

Steve West

Wow! Lots of fast EN peeps out there yesterday. Great work!

@Al - negative split the IM run? Amazing execution sir, well done!

tim cronk

Big Congrats to all the IMAZ competitors.... Witnessed lots of great execution... Was a pleasure to virtually watch and cheer... Inspiring and makes ya wanna race again! WTG Team EN!
