Planning on bundling up in T1. Thanks to all for the advice you've all shared. Good luck� Since I don't know how to swim, I'd be fine if they make it a Du with those 7ft waves predicted!

"It's nice to be great, but far greater to be nice"

Don't say that. If it's a Du, you ain't an ironman.

If it's a Du Lionel Sanders will win by an even larger margin.

I imagine that the 7foot waves would be further out in the gulf. The NNW wind would be offshore so it wouldn't get too rough until you get about a half a mile or so out and at that I would expect it to be rolling.

Good luck everyone! Say hi to Finman and T3 if you see them (I think they were at IMFL).

Cheers!

I have been up since two. Can't sleep. Good luck everyone. Be smart and safe.

That's about right, 3 here. Coffee and breakfast down. A little dark, but water looks calm, those smart locals seem to know they're stuff.

I see waves. I hope they don't cancel the swim. Good luck.

Show time boys and girls!!!
Fart rainbows to the finish line.

Sanders has already crossed the finish line right?

 
he's already at pizza hut.

The swim was cancelled because of rip currents. Time trial start at 8:00.

Unfortunate for my partner, whom I'm here supporting, since the swim is his strength.

I took the one less traveled by,
Which is probably why I was registering 59.67mi as I rolled into T2.

Any live video coverage? Not seeing anything on Ironman.com

Got the blog up now...it says swim was cancelled...

That sucks for everyone, I don't know if I would even race if that's that happened to me.
There was talk about it last year buck luckily we still got to swim.

really u wouldnt even race? Man, i would be fist-pumping swim cancellations. Watch everyone blow their load too much on the bike leg now

Seems logical.

I'm number 2970 and they are going numerically. I will be very lucky to start by 10:00 am. Since the older folks are the higher numbers, there will be a problem for some making the bike cut-off. Sunset Is before 6:00 pm.

Yep, that's my concern too. My partner's number is over 3000, and the bike is his weakness. According to the Athlete's Guide, IIRC, the cutoff is 5:30. The change in format will probably cost him at least an hour and a half.

Last year, IMFL was my first IM. I was panicked thinking they would cancel the swim�.and I had come to the conclusion that if they did, I wouldn't race. I hate this for the first timers.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully they will be lenient and he will be able to finish.

Not quite. But if there was ever a race where all the other pros know they are racing for runner-up at the 00:00:00 point of the race...THIS is it!!

Yeah, just saw that on my FB feed. WTG Fraussie!

It may change because of the TT start, but he's looking damned good for a KQ at this point.
