wow this is close!!!

Alexander gains 25 seconds
Over the last mile Craig Alexander has gained a ton of time on the two leaders.

In front is Eneko Llanos Burguera (#7), running with * Normann Stadler (#4). Then we have:
* Craig Alexander (#2) at 1;40
* Cameron Brown (#25) at 2:20
* Timo Bracht (#15) at 2:30
* Torbjorn Sindballe (#3) at 3:20
* Rutger Beke (#41) at 3:45
* Ronnie Schildknecht (#31) at 4 minutes
* Eneko Llanos Burguera (#7) at 4:25
* Chris Lieto (#6) at 5:30

I'll 2nd that!

Why are the announcers so shocked that Wellington is passing men on the run course and stating that there will be "bruised egos". It's pretty clear that Wellington is just at a totally different level and one of if not the best in the world; for long distance running there really isn't alot of difference between men and women - heck I would argue women are more adept at it; would be nice if these announcers actually talked about race strategy, nutrition and pacing rather than sucking each other off.

Come crawling faster

We've got a great battle up front in the men's race and IMlive chooses to show us 3 talking heads and Chrissie running alone. What a bunch of bullshit!

Can the new owners of WTC be happy with the online video coverage?

Is it just me or has PNF had her face stretched back?

"the trick is to keep losing weight until your friends and family ask you if you've been sick. then you know you're within 10 pounds. if they start whispering to each other, wondering if you've got cancer or aids, you're within 5. when they actually do an intervention, you're at race weight." - Slowman

Eneko's in first and ninth?

crowie is 1:05 back from 1st

x 2

WOW she looks GREAT! About 15 years younger.

BTW IM Live is doing a GREAT job even on the text updates.

Here is the latest one

Our spotters are reporting that it's getting really hot out on the marathon course right now as the leaders get closer to the Energy Lab.


LOL they really do suck don't they!

How far down are they into the run??????

Welch says (about Crowie): Look at that manly chest. I am tearing up here. He is a very good looking man.

From the updates:

"The women through 5.5 miles
Chrissie Wellington is going by pro men and they're doing double takes as she goes by."

I do not EVER want to hear that it's all about hard work and intelligent training, and NOT genetics. It's all three. She's three years into tri, so she hasn't been working hard enough for long enough for that to be the answer.

Imagine how speedy she can be with a few more years (and more durable tires/clinchers)!

Wow, Craig is floating on his Newtons....man, if I put Newtons on will the same happen to me? I'm hoping for Normann, but Craig looks like he might set a marathon record today!!!

he's now passed Normann?!?

"How bad could it be?" - SimpleS

Alright...now that we have solid video of watching Craig stalking the leaders...could someone please analyze his running stride for me.

Is this Pose, Chi or anything that warrants Newtons?

I just don't see much forefoot, but maybe that's because he clipping along at 6:3Xish.

thanks.

norman in 3rd now.

I am glad they are talking about IMAZ while the men's race is changing leaders

Yes... watching this all day has me motivated, even for a sprint! I'll be doing SOMA Quarterman. Good luck with your races!

as long as we're bashing IM live...did anyone else have an update in german on the text update screen? i don't read german, but it mentioned timo bracht, and the word "disqualificashun" in it. when i went back to that screen later, it had just disappeared. very strange. and no, i'm not drinking. yet.
