No blender?

SO by my watch and eye, looks like Ryf is well over 2 minutes up on 2nd. She is tearing up the course right now, lets see how she does in the windy downhill now..

Anytime Welch talks, I hear Rhys Darby from flight of the Concordia.

No blender either. I am wearing my IM Wisconsin t-shirt with the names of all the participants on it, though.

Why is the commentary booth so small. Looks like they are sitting on top of each other.

They are using GoPro Cameras for the coverage

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Can anyone explain the IM leaderboard website for me? I'm looking at age groupers. What is with the overall rank with a -xx number below it? It doesn't match overall rank when looking at an individual athlete. Is there a way to sort an age group relative to their current position in their age group, so I can see where they are during the course of a leg?

Piss break!!!!

they have that number on teh pros too. my best guess is it reflects their position to the middle of their category? hopefully someone who knows will chime in.

there is a drop down menu (likely says ALL) on your page and you can select AG there

Maik takes the lead again

I think the top 3 women are staking their podium places - Ryf will be hard to catch on the run.

Beam Bike with TriRig aero brake. Can't wait to hear the comments.

Rinny down 11:53. Uh oh.

Marino V in 3rd - just 2 more to pick off - go boy!

There is no explaining it.

Daniela Ryf leading the race in plain black shorts and white top with no print on the sides. She might be the least branded pro since Tim Deboom after winning and Ralph Lauren's Polo RLX team ended and he race as defending champ in a plain black and white kit.

anyone else fancy a coconut water?

Here's hoping Rinny has an amazing run.

She has a lot more sponsors than the mens leader.

Wellington in 2007 was similar, iirc. Also road helmet :)

Nice to see

just sent #1 son out with a machete to open one for me (bike ride coming up)

If Maik takes the bike, it's going to be a big boost to Dimond. Wonder if more beam bikes will start popping up.

That sounds so primal. Awesome!

Ya, with so much riding left, not looking good for her by T2. Gonna have to run 2;50 and hope everyone blows up. And Marino got spit out from those two guys, they all took a break when they caught the main pack, but he decided to let the lead train leave the station without him. Probably now wishing he would have just stuck with what got him there in the first place. Now he has no mans land in the worst part of the course to be alone..
