Anyone have news on Jonathan Rothberg? No swim split.

robin sarner · September 13, 2015 10:24AM

I wish Ironman would get back to giving person's rank during a phase.

Brenda Ross · September 13, 2015 10:24AM

Coach Rich mile 45 of the bike. Looks like he is okay.

Brenda Ross · September 13, 2015 10:30AM

He may not of even started the race Nemo. Unfortunately I never get told this stuff, so sometimes people are on the list and did not start or put themselves on the list and then left the team.

J.T. Thompson · September 13, 2015 10:38AM

Just heard from Bruce T that he's on the Timber Lane Hill (2nd major one) and saw Rich, Jeremy B and Matt A all go by looking good...Said he saw no signs of a crash on Rich.....

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 10:45AM

Great news that Rich is OK. Thanks for the pic Brenda!- I hope you are right about the DNS for Rothberg.

PS- um, Withrow's second bike split is in, 19.5mph??? WTF?? OK- seriously, please DON'T track me at IMMD. It's just humiliating to think how much he's smoking me on a freakin fat bike!

Keith Wick · September 13, 2015 10:56AM

I think that Dino is really glad that Rich is ok, but is still waiting for a bike status report on his P5

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 10:56AM

If you all haven't checked out Periscope or the Twitter Feed- get over there and check it out! Video of Withrow climbing the hill at mile 45 is just incredible and there's lots of other pics and vid too. Mariah has it all tricked out!

coach leading the crew on the bike.

jreville · September 13, 2015 11:19AM

Holy Cow! I just saw JW's first splits on the bike. Man is a monster!

Kirsten Surprenant · September 13, 2015 11:37AM

There is a thread over on ST: Who's got money on this guy at IM WISCONSIN??

The fast splits keep rolling in! And not to be outdone, the EN Chicas are putting in some solid efforts too! Dawn Cass ranked 14 in AG out of the swim with a 1:07 and first two bike splits are averaging a nice steady 18.5ish. Natalie Pilon (same AG) came out in 36th place about 8 min behind Dawn and her two bike splits are steady 17.5-18. Meanwhile Lauren Mcdonald was 25th in her AG out of the swim. Great job ladies!

Keith Wick · September 13, 2015 11:46AM

Through 60 miles, JW is only 18:02 off Coach R's bike split....if my math is correct.

Mark Roberts · September 13, 2015 12:11PM

I was looking through the 45-49 leaderboard and I think Coach Rich is leading his age group through 80 miles

salzmadh · September 13, 2015 12:16PM

This is too much fun to follow along! GO Team. Btw, the ST thread about JW's bike is pretty cool too.

Juan Vergara · September 13, 2015 12:57PM

@Mark, Rich was 2nd place @ mile 80 ..... 3 minutes behind Andrew Sellars who was 2.5 minutes faster than Coach R in the water.

Steve West · September 13, 2015 1:11PM

Holy crapola! JW is riding his fatbike faster than I can ride any bike! Tear it up JW!!!

Bill Manard · September 13, 2015 1:19PM

Just saw Coach Rich coming into T2 - like a boss! AG #1 off bike per the tracker!

Steve West · September 13, 2015 1:20PM

Coach 1st off the bike!

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 1:27PM

If you go to the IM Live site you can see coach Rich coming off the bike, back up the Transition feed to the 1:00 mark

Mark Roberts · September 13, 2015 1:28PM

13th fastest bike split!

scott dinhofer · September 13, 2015 1:29PM

@steve west, let's see how he holds up on the run, he may be burrying himself.. or you are seeing super human watts desiplay themselves

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 1:31PM

Anxiously awaiting another Withrow split.

robin sarner · September 13, 2015 1:34PM

matt and Jeremy into the run.

kq for three sequential age groups?

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 1:35PM

Jeremy and Matt both also off the bike and both 5th in their respective AGs! Nice work team.

Jess Withrow · September 13, 2015 1:40PM

Bruce just talked to Coach Rich at mile one of the run and Rich said he did NOT crash!!! Thank goodness!!!

scott dinhofer · September 13, 2015 1:41PM

based on the first three withrow bike splits, he's looking good on the 90 minute lead bet given to Coach R

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 1:42PM

Great news, thanks Jess! Still hope the spectator they took away is OK.

Steve West · September 13, 2015 1:44PM

@ Scott - yeah I'm sure JW is burying himself but he is such a monster he'll still grind out a decent run split. Pretty sure JW will be getting all my money!! Good for him!

Nemo Brauch · September 13, 2015 1:56PM

Crap! Something seems to be wrong with the Mile 80 Timing matt. Seeing lots of folks now finishing the bike with no mile 80 split. Grrrrrrr.
