why are we watching the girl in thrid - get to the front of the race!!!

Sorry guys, but did Raelert get kicked in the face or something? I saw some thing in this thread, but I honestly don't want to read 15 pages to find it.

Thanks.

Could you imagine the headline? "Craig Alexander wins Hawaii on the bike!"

I'd settle for more of the men's race. Last 20 min it's been The Joyce Show.

Bad form???? this is a race and lieto territory..... There is no rule for having to take a pull at the front.... Craig is playing smart and hitting hard the other one mentally. //

It is bad form if you are going to be a passanger all day on the bike, and you continually pass the guys that are actually taking the pulls. It is like hitting someones feet in the swim. Stay off the feet and just be glad that you are getting the free ride without having to ever set pace. I know there is no rule, but it is one of those unwritten ones that most pros follow. How would you like it if someone hit your feet throughout the swim, and never went to the front?? Not against the rules either, but just common courtesy to the pack mule that is actually setting the pace..

Who is the better runner of Alexander and Raehlert?

Wasn't there a race earlier this year where Chrissie came back and just destroyed the run from a huge deficit. I am out with my family right.now and the Twitter coverage kinda stinks so how are Potts and Reed doing

Alexander

yes, something in the swim

i can't be the only one thinking this is pretty poor race coverage. when is the last time they have followed either leader???

has anyone had more coverage than leanda cave?

I'm fine watching the women but once the men hit T2 we need men all the time full time with just brief cutaways for Rinny and CW. It's going to be an all out battle between Crowie and Andreas and I want to see it.

Agree. Terrible. I don't get it.

<pink> The leaders are so fast the motorcycles can't catch up!</pink>

I can only see what is on Ironmanlive, but I was thinking that since Lieto has been shooting off and getting caught, Alexander is not focusing on him, but was worried on loosing Vanhoenacker and Raelert. Therefore, I'm thinking he doesn't want to let them get any seconds...

could be Iron War 2

Yeah this is ridiculous. The men are making moves and they're not even showing it. We're watching the 3rd and 4th place women who are 13 minutes back.

I think I have watched Leanda Cave's last 25 miles.

I think they just said something to the effect of "Craig was such a consummate professional, fulfilling all of his contract, signing autographs and other things."
I didn't catch the beginning of that statement, but I realllly hope they were talking about Vegas.

no more Michellie Jones please, just awful... glad she's out of the booth

So who will win this year? Any predictions now 95 miles into the bike? I guess Lieto does not have enough of a gap and CA is the strongest runner in the front pack? So CA wins???

Agreed, the video coverage is poor in terms of selection, also welch needs to just stop talking...verbal diarrhea.

Yes.

Cave's old man must be either on the camera or driving the motorcycle. Why on earth would they follow her for so long?

How about Welchy's comment that "Crowie is always the consummate professional". Really? Where's he been?
