Damn it, Galidez needs to slow it down and Reed needs to pick it up for my top 6 to work out.

Lance is really struggling now. He's only put 1:50 on Lieto in 6.5 miles and only leads overall by 1:45. Going to be tough to get top 20 now.

Below 3:51 is quite impressive, certainly better than I would've guessed for his first 70.3 coming back.
So who won this little contest? Unless I'm mistaken, wasn't something like 3:53 the fastest prediction? He pawned the whole board!!!

The swim and bike were not a surprise for anyone.
1:17 run for Lance is hella impressive given ALL of his other run race results, including standalone races. Yes, he's run a 2:40 marathon, but I'd still be expecting closer to 1:22-1:25 after a bike/swim at 70.3 distance, or worse given that running is clearly his worst discipline.
Scary part is to think that if he's all in, there's a 100% chance that he's just going to improve on the run, which will also likely improve his bike, as he won't need to hold back as he was clearly doing at Panama. Makes you wonder if he could have won the whole thing outright if he opened up the engines on the bike - although I agree that the risk of blowing up on the run for him drastically increase witha hard bike compared to run-centric pro triathletes.

Fastyellow wins it with 3:53 if I'm not mistaken.
I called 3:54:31, and a third place finish. Apparently I was quite wrong!

;) thanks.
I think I get extra credit for calling the run he was going to bust out too...1:17 is still mortal but putting it down after a very competitive 2nd bike and FOP swim leg is the big move for him. I didn't watch the live feed but looks like he and Leito were within spitting distance of one another until after t2. He can ride with that guy and run reasonably well (7th based on the finishers who matter) off the effort anyway.
Damn impressive from any angle....It will be fun to watch his year.

Well, I just know Macca isn't going to hold back his thoughts. I want to know if he IS impressed or not. After seeing some of his comments on Lance, I just want to know if Macca is surprised or not. I don't think he thought Lance could race as well as he did today. I could be wrong, but Macca did say he was going to watch this race very closely about a day before Lance was announced to race. My guess is, he knew he was racing.

Nope. He said winner goes 3:53, but Lance at 4:00 +- 1.
You tied for second.
Pretty close....as the swim was a good 5 minutes fast for a 70.3....
So awesome to see Lance do so well....
