Will looks as if he might have had a puncture or something. It took him over 1:40 to get from 30-60k

Updated results for CR's attached.

Tiger - Charlie Low onto the run 8 mins behind leader of his age group.

I notice Helmet's off the bike in a nice, easy to calculate average speed time of 6:01:24, which has got to put him in line for a fantastic sub 12 debut. Looking good Rob, bring it home son!

He seemed to spend over 13 mins in T1 though - seems like a mistake. Anyway, he's going well!

Ironmanlive is down. No news for sometime. Just spoke to Jen. Mango is 7k into run and Will did have bike problems.

Vernay about to take it out.

Update CR results...

Everyone's now running...

Charlie Low 17th overall in 9:14.14.

...and I'm proud to say my part-time riding partner, Ali Coyle, was 6th woman home, and less than a minute off 4th.

The run leg really should be longer!

...hope you're trucking along okay out there too Aunty K and everyone else.

Unc

Yep, well done thus far to all

Great to see that the Bunny has made it through the bike leg and no doubt will be relishing the run leg home.

What's happened to the updates on the website? Gagging for results here....

I'm loving watching the live video!! It makes me feel like participating next time.

Not only is the live update down, but Dazza K's phone must be dead. Thats the end of any AK updates. Has Aunty finished???


If not....she must be getting close!

Just saw EverReadyBunny finish in 13:18:00!! Well done Alison!!!

Prof

Go ALison, great to see you finish

SMS from Miners: - not sure of times but Mango and Wil are traveling well. Mango has been running good even splits. Wil had some tyre trouble earlier.

He has gone off in search of results - I will update when I hear from him.

ERB - awesome!! Well done, massive congrats on getting to the finish line and fantastic time too.

I wish they would fix the updates - not being able to monitor people on the track an athlete is sooo frustrating!!

Go Aunty K, hope you make it home soon.

Thanks Hamburgular for the tracking!

Now the video has gone again....bugger!

I know the video has gone MIA

Brilliant!!! - and very well deserved, after the many long hours of hard determined training.

Congratulations Allison!

Congratulations Allison, you are now an Ironman as well as an Ultra Goddess.

Is there anything you cannot do?

Update from Miners - he thinks Mango and Wil have finished but not sure of their times. Aunt K may still be running.

He is out on the course at the moment, but is heading towards the finishing area to see what he can find out.

Oh, forgot to add: YOU ARE AN IRONMAN !!

anybody??

Wil the Frenchman finished in 12:34:45

Aunty K finished in 13:55:37

Message from Jen - Mango home in sub 12

Mango finished in 11:55:46

Helmet (Mr Wildthing) finished in 11:50:26

Thank God multisport is back working.

Message from DazzaK: Aunty finished sub 14, shes ok, is getting checked out but was moving ok at the finish.

Congrats yet again Aunty!! You're a 3 time Ironman!!

Prof

PS - Was that Wills debut?? Top effort mate, congratulations!!!

Is there a video??

Congrats everyone - awesome effort.

Great marathon split from ERB - 4:08 and 7th in her age group - probably passed hundreds
21st Aussie Ironman from Paul Every
Mrs TallGeoff came 7th in her age group (will she get an Hawaii spot is the question)
Mango and helmet both sub 12 on debut
Bad luck to Will who eveidently had some bike problems

Video is back up now. Not sure about the athlete tracking though.

His actual times...

Swim - 1:13:58
T1 - 0:07:38
Bike - 6:22:56
T2: 0:04:33
Run: 4:06:41
Total: 11:55:46

He spent 46 secs too long in T1

One tough day full of lessons I had to learn. Way too hard on the bike early and ruined my stomach. In top 10 for most of the bike. Did not get the stomach back until 35 odd into the run. Flat track pacing strategy does not work too well in the hills. Full report as always to follow but I did manage to run a 5km pb of 19:27(actually 5.2) the last section of the race. Hah! As if run 3:44min/km at the end of an ironman. Probably helps that I walked most of the way to that point. 10:53 something. Humbling. Vegemite sangas were my saviour.

Swim 1:02

T1 3:something

Still a pb at Port but nearly exactly an hour slower than I expect I can go with my current fitness.

commiserations on the pedal? problem, will.
really feel for you after the investment of time and effort.
i hope you get to 'spend' your current fitness on another race soon and get a PB or something.... busselton HIM?
----
plazbot, thanks for the figures showing a good old fashioned blowup. you could've slunk away and resurfaced later, but it's a great warning. kinda gutsy to put them out there.
-----
happy recovery to everyone, and if it didn't go to plan then i hope you get to use that base to do something else soon.
(my 07 IM didn't go how i'd like, but i ran a marathon PB 2 months later and then felt that the training hadn't gone to waste.)

Top effort everyone - some amazing debuts there and you should all be very proud of yourselves as shiny new Ironmen

Was trying to work out Plazbot's timings last night and was thinking "that can't be right - he's done a 3:15 mara before" - thinking it was my tiny brain unable to work out the figures. Shame Plazbot and Will, but thank you for sharing the lows as well as the highs.

Will get up there and join the cheersquad next year.

Nice photos here of Mango on his nice Azzuri, race wheels and groovy tri bars.

I like how the lady in the background has a rubber chicken...

Mango however looks speedy!

Great photo! What a spunk

Whoops

Lows and highs indeed. Check what just hit my inbox

That's great Plazbot! Well done!

Well done Plazbot - an awesome recovery boost

Congratulations Plaz; that's wonderful news!

Congratulations Plazbot! That's f'in awesome and a great reward for the hard work you put in last year.

I'd go faster too if it prevented me from being hit by a rubber chicken!!

I know Mango has been training hard, and his race plan looks like it all went to plan...so i conclude that B+ must have chased him around the M7 and Penrith with a rubber chicken, just to get that extra ounce of effort!!! Actual quote from his training plan " 10 min rubber chicken intervals - 90% effort".

Who's been stealing my photo's?

Congratulations Mango!

Wow, thats unreal Plazbot. Congratulations. Ive loved watching your progress and cant wait to see how you go in Almere.
Kick arse dude.

Hi guys,

Just got back from Port. Not the time I wanted, but I still had a ball out there.

Thanks to all the CRs for the support.

Full report when I find the time!
