I went to facebook to watch it and it links to a site that wants you to put in a credit card to "verify" yourself. Isn't there a live stream that doesn't require that?

Starky just moving into first, no surprise. We'll see how the run goes.

Jeanni Seymour riding at 76 rpm. Muscling along and a flat and fast course. Makes my legs hurt just thinking about it.

Yeah, really low cadence. Also, why is the camera on here and not on Ryf and McCauley? Not sure why they think we’re interested in 3rd place...

I wonder if it’s because Ryf is now riding up through some of the men’s pro field and they’re having trouble getting the cameras in there without interrupting the race.

Ryf and McCauley hit the second bike split at 1:44:23. Given that they started 5 minutes behind the men, they have now caught and ridden past the 26-30th place men.

Finally up on Ryf! McCauley hanging on tight. I wonder if Ryf starts to ride away around mile 60-70. It seems like that is often where she says see ya later to the competition. Good on McCauley for going for it on the bike

Thats not surprising there are only so many race marshals but I did see someone comment that they see blue cards being given out. Thats a good start but there are just too many people on the course to catch everyone.

Here are the splits at 2/3 of the bike done;

TOP 10 Pro Men - Thru Bike Split 5 - 83.08 mi

1 3:55:50 Andrew Starykowicz
2 4:02:27 6:38 Patrik Nilsson
3 4:10:02 14:13 David Plese
4 4:11:56 16:07 Will Clarke
5 4:12:54 17:04 Michael Weiss
6 4:12:57 17:07 Joe Skipper
7 4:13:34 17:44 Matt Hanson
8 4:13:36 17:46 Kyle Buckingham
9 4:13:37 17:47 Alexander Schilling
10 4:13:38 17:48 David Hanko

Looks like Starky will have his 20 minutes on that big 17 minute group, but Patrik is riding really strong. Looks like he wants this race today, gonna be really hard to catch him on the run, as long as he is able to run pace. Just don't see anyone out of the chasers that beat him, unless he has a problem, which of course is always looming in ironman...

Well, with all the gadgets and gizmos guys use these days, probably knows how hard he is riding. But really, the true test of pacing is coming up shortly, doesnt matter what numbers everyone hits.. He is a great ironman racer, he has proven that over and over. Perhaps he has worked on his weakness and today is showing it..

That was more directed to the people who say 'why don't the marshals give out more penalties?'..its kinda hard when you have 2000 athletes and 20 marshals. Even if you had a marshal for every 10 athletes it would be difficult. That being said, if people were more honest rather than riding in what looks like a Tour de France peloton it would be much easier. Of course less athletes on the course (last year I think Ironman Copenhagen had 3000 and Elsinore had 2500) is a big part of the problem, but its also more money for Ironman...so you have that.

Few miles to go on the bike and Starky is stretching it out on everyone. If he can run his usual low 3 hours at an even pace, he will lead for a very long time, and probably podium today..

6:20 pace for Starky through around mile 4 - that’s definitely not sustainable for him. I’d think consistent pacing would result in a better run split - we’ll have to see...

6:20 pace for Starky through around mile 4//

Assuming the markers are actually miles, which I never do with WTC. If we see Patrik going through those 4 in 5;20 pace, then we will know. But yes, an even paced day will lead to his best result, unless he already knows he is toast. At which point he is just hanging onto a lead as long as possible. Actual 6;20 pace is only about 20 seconds a mile slower than his best 1/2 efforts, so perhaps it feels easy to him at the moment..

The distances are never perfect, temps are reasonable for Starky from an overheating prospective. Sunny yes, but humidity low, dew point low, and the wind is up. I have no idea what kind of run shape he is in, but seems to be reasonable and conservative compared to some of the others. Hanson can't win if Nilsson keeps this up. Should be a great 3-horse race.

If McCauley beats Ryf, this gives her a lot more confidence to have a great race at Kona this year. I think Ryf is holding back a bit, but still, the experience is fantastic.

For sure, great for her. I'm not sure if Ryf is the type to hold back, maybe she was not sandbagging saying she didnt have a real Ironman build yet this year.

Now she is almost matching McCauleys pace, so maybe there will be a race after all

It definitely could be a crazy finish. Ryf can pick up her pace, but McCauley is very familiar with this course and that should worth something. Would be very possible they end up sprinting against each other down the finish chute for the win.

Ryf's run form looks a little bit off. A slower turnover than usual or something.

Holy crap, McCauley's run looks amazing right now.

It is looking like Starky will probably get 4th, 3rd if he has paced ok and has a great 2nd half. But just looking at the times, he is losing at least a minute a mile to Matt Hanson, and 10 miles left with a 10 minute lead..How about a sprint finish guys for the last podium spot!!

Nilsson is a good runner. Unless he really implodes I don’t see Hanson catching him on the run. He had 11:36 on Hanson going into T2 and at mile 14.9 we was still up by 10:06.

McCauley having a good race. Time wise Ryf doesn’t look like we’ve seen in the past. But I imagine she’d love to erase that deficit and keep her win streak alive. Could be interesting in the last 6-10 miles

ya, Roy stopped the bleeding at a little over 2+ minutes down, now about 1;50. Of course that could mean several things, and for each athlete. So until it gets to around a minute and the leader knows what's going on, we will have to wait and see how they both actually feel...

Anyone see how fast Jocelyn McCauley ran her first almost 3km. Her 5:28 mile pace compared to Ryf's at 6:18/mile pace. Too bad she didnt run the first ~10km so fast--roughly 2 mins faster then Ryf..she probably would have won and we would have seen a huge upset. It's proven time and again going too fast in the opening miles (km) for us Canadians costs you in the back half of the marathon.

Hats off to McCauley for giving Ryf some competition.

Ya, I think that was mistake. When she got off the bike she was really moving thru transition. I think clearly she wanted to make a statement and deliver a possible mental blow to Daniela.
