Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

If anyone in the top 7 runs sub 2:47 then we have a sub 8 hours. I believe we will see 2-3 under 8 hours today.

Yup. He's in a good spot.

By my math, all 7 finishers so far beat the old bike record...fast day!

What a day!

Matt shouldn't be making cheeseburger jokes about amburger....he mumbled it too ...maybe he didn't know his mic was on

I was just thinking that. RIP Crowie's record.

Matt

Bad math - forgot the swim. First 3 did.

3 of those guys beat 8 hours today, Crowie’s record is going down today

Amberger led for so long. Now 10+ minutes back:

Man, these guys are fast...

we're going to be testing, right?

Potts just pulled in. I think he's out of the top 10 this year. Lots of good runners in front of him

I was just thinking that. RIP Crowie's record. //

He will always have that record, harder to the old longer swim course. By my reckoning the have to go at least an 8;01 to equal Crowie's time on the longer swim course. And certainly several guys have that ability today, certainly having to compete to the finish will not be a factor. This is a drag race now..

Yep CR going down. Wurf looked like he was sprinting after 4.12 bike!! Frodeno in a good spot

That's a hard charge from lionel

Running like Rambo!

Lionel baby!
But lange for the win

Sanders already passed Wurf (we knew this was coming but thought Cameron would hold on a little longer)

How far back was Lange? And how much time did he make up last year.

Yeah, I thought LS looked good! Can't wait to see the early splits.

What's the over-under on a Wurf DNF? If he blows up how much would he be willing to walk to keep his bike record?

Matt

NBCsports link "coverage has concluded for the day"!!!

Nooooooooo!!!!!!

10 min is too much for Lange

Lionel runs ugly buy boy he’s shaking up the IM world today

Daniela closing the gap. Can any of these womens out-run Ryf?
