Were Nemo and Kitima swimming together on purpose? Their swim times are 8 seconds apart. I can't imagine you could actually stick with someone even if you tried--it must be coincidence.

aimeefab

Hmmm. interesting theory..not sure

Kit, Nemo, Linda, Kris, Gina Pam, Kate, Eric, Dave Leigh, Mark, Joanna, Hasan, Mike B all in the 1:30ish zone

Check out IM Live feed (via Carrie C) lots of EN jerseys running through Bike Out

aimeefab

Saw Kris going through bike mount - cool!

tuckerm

Just saw a couple of the guys in their pink speedos helping at the bike mount line and getting interviewed. Announcer said it must be cold there from looks of things! Ha!

aimeefab

Everyone's out! Bike time!

DCorso

 listening to IM live and yet another pink speedo reference.  I guess the boys are making a big impression

Cary Blanco

Lets go EN chicas and dudes - ride those bikes!

aimeefab

can't believe I missed the pink speedos on the live feed - curses!!

Jim Hanson cooking across the first timing mat holding 20 mph

gilliatt

The timing mat or their connection must be broken. Jim should be about mile 85 right now as should Trevor.

aimeefab

ok - I'm outta here for a few hours, hope to be back by end of bike for most!! keep updates coming

aimeefab

yeah, I'm not seeing anything on bike splits on ironmanlive either - argh

Barbara Spitler

Sounds like Team EN is ROCKIN' WISCONSIN!!! Missed the Pink Speedos!!! Heading to Ironman Live to see if I can watch some live feed.

gilliatt

now Jim's 40 mile split is gone weird what usually happens is we'll get a surge of updates at once

gilliatt

Looks like we are only getting a total bike split, IMlive just took the 40 mile split completely out of there

Barbara Spitler

My live feed keeps cutting out, due to having wireless laptop that can't keep up!! ARGGGHHH!!

Barbara Spitler

Did I just miss an EN CHica coming in on the bike???

Bob A. finished 9th in age group. missed 8th by 6 seconds. Great job...congrats Bob

He definitely should go to the roll down, definitely no gauntness but it might be enough
