True also passed out on the run at IM Cairns according to her Twitter feed. Same issues?

We just heard she blacked out during the run at Cairnes. If she’s not taking in enough calories that would explain it but in Sarah’s interview on YouTube She thought it was heat-related.

Will True make it to Kona this year? It would be a real bummer if she's not in the field.

She had a 6:55 lead with under 11K to go and Moench didn't break the tape until 7 minutes after True's collapse. Very interested to find out, especially after the Cairns DNF, why she kept pushing in the final 10K instead of slowing the pace to ensure the win and the Kona spot.

Thanks for the link AliiDriver.

She's running out of time and events. That video was hard to watch, and unfortunately she made it 111+ miles and so now you have to wonder about her recovery for a final attempt in July or August.

This is the whole coverage, problems started at 3:28:01



Some gaps between, ends at 3:35:40 in the tent

They started earlier 3:19:33.

Ironman Mont-Tremblant August 18th should give hopefully sufficient time to recover from today race. Best option, requiring less travelling and mostly importantly staying in North America...

Here's a 15 minute hi-light video of the day. You see them pulling glass out of Sebi's foot ; Jan going off-roading ; and poor Sarah - heartbreaking...

Say what you will, it makes for good television.

can anyone speak german? I heard Frodo talk aboujt the accident - did he say something about how the accident happened?

He said the motorcycle in front of him also misjudged the curve and came close in front of him, so he breaked too hard and couldn't take the corner because the motorcycle was there.

Because it was the motorcycle's mistake he got his nutrition back from Ironman and hopes his opponents are fine with that

I'd love to see her there. I also hope (selfishly as well) that it's a nice cool day at IMMT.

I'd really hate for her to miss Kona this year, but I worry that even if she sneaks in she's gone deeeep into the well so many times this year already. Might make it tough for her to be competitive there.

Too old to go pro but doing it anyway

Bike was 5k long so she was past the 112 mile mark at the time of collapse

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

what are you guys talking about??? 140.6!!!

Agreed - this is gut-wrenching to watch. Her mind looked to be 'off' - lights on, no one home. And the age grouper who recognized it maybe saved her from extremely serious consequences. Grateful he checked in and that she seems to be sort of ok (posting on instagram), as she's one of my absolute favorite long course athletes.

I enjoyed the footage very much!

Does anyone know what the storage belt thingy is that Lange used to store his tubes, CO2 etc?

EDIT>>Here it seems, nifty feature of the Canyons.

It wasn't really necessary. The authorities were on it in the best possible way - an army of emergency vehicles (the course goes past a hospital!), plenty of water and supplies. Apart from a 20 minute gap where they temporarily ran out of ice, we were continuously supplied with hydration and cooling. The run was moved to the shade where possible - it was hot but perfectly manageable, rather surprisingly. I was off the bike in a bad state and slightly dehydrated, and actually recovered on the run over the day. Not the time or placing I was hoping for but nowhere near dangerous.

ZONE3 - We Last Longer

He will not be racing 70.3 WC this year. Makes quite a difference compared to last years...

That's a shame, seeing him Gomez and Brownlee face off was going to be the highlight of the year.

At least Sebi is reconsidering 70.3 WC and he is almost Frodo fit if this race was any indication

Does IM post only few streams on FB page? I can't find stream for IM Cairns and Frankfurt.

I'm not asking for torrents etc. But would like to know if links for live streams exist?

Edit: youtube video posted few posts above my is "not available in my country".

For some reason IM Frankfurt was on the "Ironman" page as opposed to "Ironman Now"

Awesome, found it. Thank you very much for info.
