Ironman Florida Race Day Tracking Thread!!!!
Can't believe this thread hasn't started yet!!! I'm back from my morning run and just now checking into the updates. Does anyone know what the weather is like in Florida? The video of R&P on the bike course looks like they are bundled up pretty good.

Nathalie and Becky finished the swim within seconds of each other. I wonder if they saw each other in T1?

on IM live they are broken out at 55 and 95 mile markers..less fun to track, oh well..about 2/3 of the team through the 55 mile marker
The team looks good- and FAST!!! Holy cow they are FLYING!
Looks a little chilly ... brrrrrr
@Nemo - Thanks for getting this thread going. I got up this morning and went direcly to my computer but to do a paper. I just remembered to check in now.
Nice job with the swim and the early bike splits team.
I noticed that the T1 times are not all that mostly over 10 minutes. Is it a long transition at Florida? Don't get me wrong I had a 12-13 minute T1 in Pentiction but I would not consider my time fast. I just noticed that of the 14 times posted there were only 3 below 10 minutes. For those that have done the race in the past I'm just trying to get a feel for the venue. I know Wisconsin has the march up the helix.

Becky is off the Bike 19.98MPH over the last 17 - 6:32:28 bike - wow she really built up that ride!
Wow that biking was awesome!
Run time! Alfredo is flying! Go EN chicas! Can't wait to see the splits
Am heading out, but will follow updates on email - keep-em coming!
Just now checking in (combination of West Coast time and my rehab keeping me busy). I've got two observations. First, why are the transition times so slow - I haven't seen the course since I did it in 2000, something must have changed to make it so long. Second, why is it so hard to run the first six miles slower than the next 7? I know the course is a pancacke, so it can't be hills. I bet we don't see that from Becky or Nathalie. I bet the colder temps are making people into feel really good out there on the run.
@ Al - I was wondering the same thing about the transitions.
Great Job on the bike and into the run team. I have to head out to the in laws now so will not get to check back in until the race is over.
