I got reception again for a second where do things stand

Hansen won and set a new record: 7:52:44 I believe.

I cannot rewind the playback on im.com. does anyone have video of Starky finishing? Did they interview him?

 
Wrote this on Gerlach thread.....shitshow coverage.

Seriously terrible given their 2015 press release. And worse is their mobile experience. Ipad experience was terrible. Rare nowadays folks use desktop. If a company is not in the mobile game theyre fucked. Ironman seriously.....at least get the timing updates right. And offer a $5 option with content. Id pay. As it was i was tracking via sportstats.ca & twitter....

Ironman has announced that it plans to provide advanced data tracking and video coverage for all professional athletes at October’s Ironman World Championship, September’s Ironman 70.3 World Championship and the five regional championships.

For each event Ironman will produce Ironman Live, a hosted online show with in-depth coverage of the professional race that will include live GPS tracking for every pro. Professional triathletes will also be given the option to transmit biometric and power data, with the data ultimately being integrated into the new tracking platform, IronFan.

“We believe this initiative will draw more attention to and improve engagement with our sport,” said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of Ironman in the press release. “We are taking a major step forward by leveraging technology to create a more colorful and comprehensive experience for fans and the media. Our hope is that we will be able to expand this innovation to all races and to age-group athletes in the future.”

After testing the program at the Ironman World Championship in 2014, Ironman will start to roll out the new technology for the live coverage in a beta test at the Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship in Melbourne on March 22, 2015. Other regional championships include the Ironman North American Championship in Woodlands, Texas on May 16, the Ironman Latin American Championship in Florianopolis, Brasil on May 31, the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt, Germany on July 5 and the Ironman African Championship in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa on March 29.

I second the motion for a KQ slot matrix. I'm assuming the wetsuit optional makes it a bit more complicated than just the usual starters algorithm?

No, it's the same. Wetsuits don't count as starters. It's freezing at the finish line. I'm wrapped up in a heat sheet.

Couldn't agree more. Pathetic coverage and timing updates, and for a regional championship.

It must have got nasty windy on the Hardy later in the day. Looking at some age grouper splits, they'd speed up by 2-3 mph for their last trip south, then slow down by about 7 mph coming back north.

Only going to get colder as the night goes on. Some of those finished better have warm clothes in their morning bags.

Are those allocations official? Or just a best guess based on number of starters? Just want to know if I can celebrate. Thanks very much.

Wind picked up big time on way back!!! Was happy to get off that bike course fast. Would have been rough for people out on the bike a long time.

Hope everyone had a great race today!
Does anyone know how slots were allotted for 35-39 AG in previous years?

Yeah. It was brutal. Thats why he slowed down. Withiuth the wind he goes sub 4.

last year was 7, think one rolled down. Kinda surprised got 8 this yr.

x2

I had the bike course at 110 miles.

I as well. I turned the corner thinking "crap - better get my feet out of these shoes pretty quickly" but I wasn't complaining.

BBS had course pre race at 110.3 so was interesting to see how accurate it would be, was once again dead on.

Yep, no bitching on my part either.

BBS is awesome- earlier in the week it had me going 4:35 with a South wind (which the weather channel app was showing at one time). I want to go back and do their race/aero analyzer thing. I think when it had the North wind it had me at 4:45, which was pretty spot on. I didn't catch that it had the course at 110.3 tho.

I also just love the story behind BBS.

I screwed up! Sorry. It's 4 M25, 3 M55. Sheets aren't posted yet but will in time to open here.

What is the BBS backstory?

wow, you never mess up. I'm glad my athlete was not 25 or 55!!!
