Something funny again - the first split was previously listed at 3.3 miles and now it shows 3.8.

I think you're right - it used to be 3.3 and 4.5. When it came back up its 3.8 and 4.0.

Also strange that the next was 1.1 and there's still no update

I think the timing is screwed up because it also shows he ran a 6min/mile for the first 3.8 miles (but was 3.3 mile split earlier)

He seems to be moving up. I have him as a favorite and it's showing him 4th at 12 miles, moving up by 1 every split

I think 1&2 are going to be hard to catch. Both seem to be running strong and had much faster swim/bike. Everyone else seems to be getting picked off if he keeps it up. Fingers crossed he lays down a monster second half!

Apparently he's at 3:49/mile at the moment so no worries.

Check out the overall leaderboard.

Everyone thought that Docherty won, but it appears Wolfgang Weinemann came in with a modest 1:18:58 (3min/mile) Marathon to steal the victory.

The guys in front of him are slowing down, the guy in 1st had about a 25 min lead so he will not catch him but the guy in 2nd is running 8+ min miles. All this assumes I am checking it right.

Well, the Ironman tracker has, not surprisingly, failed me so I am counting on you guys to keep me posted for the last half of his run!

I can only pay attention for about 15 mins...going to an early dinner date with the wife...I hope he makes it. I was looking at the transitions times, the guys ahead gain 2-4 mins on him just in transition. Its clear he has the ability.

You can't look at pace right now because they are all screwed up. Looking at the race time on each split is the best bet. Right now he is in 4th but we need to see when the 16.7 mile time comes in. I missed one of them but there are 3 guys that were at least 9 minutes ahead at 12.7 miles (2 which are way ahead). That is a lot of ground to make up, but he seems to be running strong.

Your right, he is 6 mins down from thirst at 17.8 mile mark.

This has got to rank up there as one of the best threads I've read on ST. Maybe second to the whole "T3" debacle, but still up there.

GO WX!! I was thinking about this all day today on my long ride. This guy will be a ST legend if he pulls it off.

Long Chile was a silly place.

He did make up 3 minutes in 5 miles. So 6 minutes in the last 9 is possible. Depends on how good this third place runner is and how well each of them paced the race.

Less then 4 minutes down on 3rd with 4.6 miles to go. He seems to be putting about 40 seconds per mile if my quick math is right. This is going to be SOOO tight!. GO WX GO!!!

I caught that as well.........Interesting "profession" for an AG'er. Even if he is still training full time and racing AG'er I still would never call myself a "pro". Maybe he is turning pro soon? I did read somewhere that he turned down a Kona slot last year though.......

This thread reminds me of the guy who had his bike stolen on the way to his ironman out of his car and after his post on Slowtwitch a loaner bike was arranged for him and he went on to have a great day. All of slowtwitch was tracking him on race day. I am rooting for OP.

go WX!!!!!

to make this day complete, he must stiff-arm the guy he passes for 2nd ala that one chick who got beaned, and then a gorilla needs to be involved somehow.

if he pulls this off, @TheRealStarky needs to commemorate him with the shirt because he will be a #champion
