No video here.

Question - the update said that two people mixed their wetsuits and one needed to replace. If it didn't fit well, shouldn't there be TWO people looking for changes?

IM live has JonnyO fiishing the swim, but missing from the Bike start.... Assuming that is just a spotter error for the moment

Athlete Tracker does have a T1 time for JonnyO so we can assume he is on the bike course. More than likely he was just way too fast for the spotters

Go here:

http://ironman.com/

then click on the "Live Race Coverage" link in that Subara Ironman Canada box in the middle

Then click on the Audio/Video link at the top of the window that opens up -> should open up the video in your default video player

03:01Starting up Richter
We're seeing a few changes as the men start heading up Richter Pass.

MARK VAN AKKEREN (#30) continues to lead, but has lost a bit of time to Rhodes. Here are the splits through 73 km:

* BRYAN RHODES (#9) at 3:22
* LARS FINANGER (#15) at 5:20
* MATT CLARK (#38) at 6:35
* JAN SIBBERSEN (#8) at 7:15
* COURTNEY OGDEN (#17) at 7:57
* BERNHARD HIEBL (#35) at 8:06
* BRENT SHELDRAKE (#32) at 8:15
* MATT LIETO (#10) at 8:19
* JASPER BLAKE (#1) at 8:27

02:52Granger continues to pull away
While Ali Fitch is staying semi-close to the Aussie, the rest of the women are really losing time.
BELINDA GRANGER (#67) continues to fly through the bike course here. Behind her are:
* ALISON FITCH (#68) at 1:45
* HEATHER WURTELE (#66) at 7:43
* BREE WEE (#60) at 8:04
* ANDREA FISHER (#56) at 9:30
* LISA BENTLEY (#50) at 10:20
* SARA GROSS (#51) at 10:26
* AMELIA PEARSON (#58) at 13:45
* DESIREE FICKER (#53) at 14:20
* CHRISTINE FLETCHER (#71) at 19:45

03:16The men through 52 miles
MARK VAN AKKEREN (#30) continues to lead on the descent down Richter Pass. Then we have:
* BRYAN RHODES (#9) at 3:16
* LARS FINANGER (#15) at 6:29
* MATT CLARK (#38) at 6:59
* JAN SIBBERSEN (#8) at 7:25
* MATT LIETO (#10) at 7:35
* CHRIS BROWN (#3) at 7:49
* ANDRIY YASTREBOV (#4) at 7:52
* BRENT SHELDRAKE (#32) at 7:55
* COURTNEY OGDEN (#17) at 7:58

Just behind Ogden is Caron and Blake. The big surprise, though, is that Jason Shortis has fallen a minute behind the two Canadians.03:12Granger really pulls away up Richter
Which is no surprise considering she's one of the sport's best cyclists and she trains in Switzerland!

Fitch is staying close, but the rest of the women are really falling back. Here are the splits at the top of Richter.
BELINDA GRANGER (#67) leads, then we have:
* ALISON FITCH (#68) at 2:40
* HEATHER WURTELE (#66) at 10:04
* BREE WEE (#60) at 10:39
* LISA BENTLEY (#50) at 13 minutes
* ANDREA FISHER (#56) at 13 minutes
* SARA GROSS (#51) at 13:50

I love the commentary that the rest of the womens are really falling back. Maybe Granger is going out too hard today.

The boys are gonna be battling late into the run back into Penticton.

Granger can absolutely fly on the bike. But she can run a bit too!

If she gets 15 minutes ahead...
