interesting to see if he can do it again at Roth next Sunday. He's on contract with them so has to turn out. I still think 2 IM distance races in a week is too much even for macca.
Mike's still going good. Looks like our clubmate Klaus is doing well too,1:08 swim and 5:19 bike.
Amazing racing today. a lot cooler than yesterday - so great to race in - prob get a tiny bit of rain later too. Just fancied a trip to watch it jd - broughtbthe family to watch - they loved the swim start - just resting a bit @ hotel now and out to see the rest of them. Saw mike on the run - looking strong !
cougie - did you not take the offer of normans bike and place then. Some very quick finishes, I wonder if Chrissie wellington regrets stopping for the flag, 30 seconds from being fastest IM woman ever.
Although winning 4 IM,s back to back is not too bad
Wish i had borrowed his bike ! Roasting yday and cooler today - perfect for it. sadly there are more compression socks than ever before now - such a bad look. I really didnt think a tri suit could be even more gaylord - and then thses came out.....
Awesome watching all this on the web, laughed at Macca realising that if he stopped p*ssing around with the crowd and sprinted like hell he'd go sub 8 !!
he did 11:51 when we all went to do IMDE06, so he's made over an hours improvement. 10 mins faster on the bike, 1 hour faster on the run. top race there, well paced.
something must have happened to him on the bike, I'm sure he has gone faster than that @ IMDE before, and though he was looking for something closer to 5 hours..

Just how ????
yeah, i think she had it sewn up from the start.
transistion, that's just silly too.
Her overall time to that point is 8:03:20.
She has 47 minutes and 23 seconds to finish 11.5 km of running.
She did her first loop in 43:48
She did her second in 44:15
She did the third in 45:51
While she's slowing -- she could very well still break this record!
ok, flags on poles. not those dinky things. anyways, mike's cruising along
RUN SPLIT 1: 10.5km 10.5km (7:28:47) 5:31/kmsub 4 then at the moment.looks liek macca didn't realise he was on for sub-8 too. after dawdling with teh crowd he had to leg it.

Apparently Macca said he was fckd from the bike leg...never ridden that far in Germany before or summat.
As you were.

Well done Ironmike on an awesome outing !!
mike's in 10:42:25
4:11:36 for the run,
he did 11:51 when we all went to do IMDE06, so he's made over an hours improvement. 10 mins faster on the bike, 1 hour faster on the run. top race there, well paced.
and i think i predicted 4:10 eh.
Amazing performance by Mike ( and Ironwolfs mate, Klaus )
Well done guys, inspiring stuff to get us started on the road to Frankfurt 09.
well done mike
great time
well done Mike - sounds like you've cracked the run thing at last
about time ; - )
something must have happened to him on the bike, I'm sure he has gone faster than that @ IMDE before, and though he was looking for something closer to 5 hours..
well done though still a great time...
looks like he learnt his lesson, C-Man. If he'd got closer to 5 hours on the bike he'd probably have been too fckd to run.
