In case you'd forgotten - IM Ireland live tomorrow

Somebody called Alistair is racing, or so I've heard. It is being streamed live on Facebook.

Swim shortened due to weather. Shortened distance to be confirmed tomorrow

so can he get his tattoo or does he need to wait to do and win his 1'st IM in Kona?

Of all the reasons for cancelling swims, this one bothers me the most, how cold the outside air is. This is what transitions are for, getting dried off, and putting on whatever layers and clothing you will need for the rest of the day. Of course for Ali it won't matter, he is just as good at all 3 sports, but his competition may benefit from losing meters in the swim...

Thanks for the heads up, what time in CA is it live on FB??

What score for the position Eric? Looks pretty bloody good to my amateur eye.

So you're saying sub 8!

I agree.

I want Ali to smash it, but i worry a bit. it feels like he hadn't actually committed to any one distance this year, and if he jumps into an IM half-cocked and does poorly, it may turn him off.

Hey Monty, I am here and doing the race tomorrow - it's actually the swells they are worried about in the ocean swim. The temp has been pretty consistent overall so it's not out of the ordinary. I hope it is only mildly shortened, but who knows.

The water temp is only 1.5 Celsius degrees above some minimum temp threshold IM has (I think it is 12 degrees). As always, it’s about the weakest swimmer that would be out there for 2 hours 20 minutes.

With the hair trigger swim cancellations, they need to make it optional. Want to podium or KQ? You do the swim. Don’t care about that and want to be safe? Bike and run.

Weather you are a hardcore IM racer, or just someone that wants to do it as a bucket list item, cutting these races ruins the meaning of the whole thing.

it's a great position, just not achievable on a normal Scott Plasma

I have a Scott Plasma and love it Eric.
What has been done here? Extensions mounted under the base bar?
I find the extensions/spacer set up a bit of a PITA at times.

Do you give the medal to someone who does what is not a triathlon though? I don't see many people choosing to skip the swim in such a scenario to be honest.

swim cancelled and new arrangements pending, according to Twitter.
this is likely not the debut ali wanted - nor his fans. . .

race is streaming now - seems they went for a TT start on the bike, with pro men first.

yeah, it's not much to watch: crap weather, thin pro field, and a TT start that makes it hard to figure out the leaders. . .

Agree it’s rubbish.

Mind you good for Ali. No other pro will have a clue what his form is really like.

he's currently 7 minutes adrift on the bike, but i'm not sure what to make of that. . .

the few clips they've shown, he's been out of areo a fair deal. wonder if he'll drop out?

Does the 7 min account for his later start or can you cut off e.g. 5 min bc he started 11?

No, he's 8 mins back at the split points.

As above, he doesn't look comfortable generally. Saying that, this bike course has a section of 21% hill! Many AGers are running/walking up it!


Be interesting to see what AB does on the run.


(Is it Rachel Joyce doing the co-commentary?)
