IM New Zealand (*LIVE* Now)...
Quote | Reply
FYI if anyone is interested, IMNZ just kicked off:

http://www.ironman.com/...y=2015#axzz3Tbyismbw


Andrew Yoder is making his IM-distance debut & w/ Bozzone, Brown, Skipworth & McNeice (who will be off the front early); it could/should be an interesting day.

Optimal viewing time for the No American contingent....although not overly conducive to afternoon work productivity ;-)

ST'er and Chronic Ironmaner Steffen Brock (owtbck93 or whatever on this forum) and resident ST neo-pro Nick Baldwin (sessel) are racing.

wow, some fast swims.

44:26 for the mens, 49:36 for the womens (Kessler). 50-odd something for Nick Baldwin.

Cotter and Bozzone were dangling off the back at 47:00 with Yoder at 48:00

Edit: Nick was tucked in with Cam Brown and a group of 6 guys at 50 minutes. So, you had three off the front, two dangling, Yoder in no man's land, and then the "chase pack" of 6. Not sure what kind of bike chops these six have, let's hope Nick can get in with them and work to catching the other 6 men up front.

This was my first Ironman, way back in 2007. Amazing experience, loved the atmosphere of Taupo, the buzz of an Ironman village, and the international flavor. Sights and scenery were awesome too.

Really want to go back.

Me too, but I got some not-so-positive news from a friend who is on-course, which I'm hoping is wrong.

Just heard from him & unfortunately had some issues on the swim...had to pull the plug. There will be another day.

The lack of women seems completely logical to me. Here's the winnings for each place:
14,000
7000
4500
3000
2500
2000
1500
1250
1000
750

Not many top names are going to come out with Challenge Dubai having been last week and IM Australia (with twice the pay as IMNZ) in two weeks. A developmental pro living in Europe or North America would be silly to cough up $2000 in airfare for a payout likely less than $3000.

I'm pretty sure Messick strategically arranges these low payouts so he can claim that women don't really have an interest in triathlon. Remember when he came here to gloat about no women claiming 7th-10th at IM Whistler (but forgetting to mention it was <$1000 payout)? Remember how at IM Boulder a few pro men DNF'd on the run because it wasn't worth walking 5 miles to collect $500?

and that's not even considering the KPR difference between IMNZ and IMMelb.

Cam Brown has apparently taken the lead after a big last sector on the bike. Him and Bozzone came into T2 together.

Brown should have Bozzone's number as he's such a good runner.

The ageless Cameron Brown...the oldest male to win an Ironman. Bozzone is once again the bridesmaid...

not only is Cam Brown ageless, it's like he's 30 again.

Another oldster, Ken Glah, went 53 on the swim and 5:08 on the bike.

Wow
