2017 Ironman Hawaii Race Day Thread

Brenda Ross

Hi Team, are you ready to give your teammates some serious mojo for this coming weekend? This thread is to be used leading up to race until Group Me is activated and on race day for the team to comment on race conditions, observations on how our team is doing during their races, or just to provide some mojo on race day.  Listed below are the members that are racing.  We are no longer having an EN Tracker as part of the race day experience, however, we do encourage you to download the following app to your phone should you want to track all the athletes listed below.

I think the list is missing Peter Lautenslager. I hope I am spelling it correctly.   He is there and will most likely kick my butt in the race. 

Mark Maurer

Good skill everyone. Execute well, embrace the suck, and keep moving forward!

Just coming up on the 6 hour mark and coach P is at 109 miles according to the tracker.  Others are looking good as well.

Same here.  5min between.  Can Tim catch him?   

Coach P looks like he is struggling right now.

Al Truscott

Doubtful, given the way they each went up the Energy Lab Hill. But the next 4.5 miles are the worst part of the race. Fifty percent of the game is 90% mental there...

Gordon Cherwoniak

Coach P across the finish line in 10:24:49.  He looked great coming across the finish line

Gordon Cherwoniak

Mike and Tim are across the line, congrats on the finish to both.  I've got the early shift with Brody tomorrow so shutting it down.  Keep up the great work in Kona.

Yvette Metz

Congratulations racers!

robin sarner

LOL yep there was no catching the machine Mike Roberts... However I did take the time to sing him a quick Happy Birthday song on Alii Drive :-)

Mike Roberts

Other than finishing, stopping for Tim's birthday serenade was a highlight of the day. 

Trish Marshall

Congrats to all the Kona bad asses!  Boom!!!
