Crikeys....Chrissie out due to illness....that sucks. I think Miranda Carfrae is the odds-on favorite now; that run last year was incredible!

Pulling for my neighbor and occasional training partner - Bib 1838 (F 25-29).
Her last two IMs she was first Amateur Female (IMC 2010, IMLP 2009). First time at Kona though.
Great that the feed is working!

Potts putting th hammer down, dropped Jacobs. Not suprising from the description of the course today. Tail current on the way out, best time to get rid of hangers on since it will get a ton easier to sit on after the turn around. Wonder is anyone if the front group will try and make a break before the head current??

Potts is about 24 flat at the 1/2 point, so not a big tail current, perhaps even a head one? that is the problem with currents under water, never know which way until you are actually swimming..

AG'ers are off exactly 30 minutes behind pros. Potts had about 1 minute exactly at turnaround, should have double that I would suspect at the finish. Time enough to settle into his own rythm on the bike and recover a bit before the group comes up. Hope he has done the training to hang with them this year, last two times out he has slipped back to 3rd group before having a great run. If he can have that same run after a lead bike finish, he could podium this thing..

You mean IMC champ and Kona 3rd placer Lisa Bentley? Ha ha. Imagine having her as your elementary school teacher. That was her former career.

Potts out in 48;40, so no current either way today. That is just about an even split out and back, as the finish leg is just a bit longer than the out leg. The times will be slow because of a little bump on the water, sometimes you just get some wind early..

51;20 for the main group, so about 2 1/2 minutes, and it is a big group behind with a lot of the top guys of course..And Macca made it this year, so he will not have to suffer the early bike just making up ground on the main group.
