Did Lieto just miss the bike record by 10 seconds?

IronmanLive has his split listed as 4:18:31

According to wikipedia, in 2006 Stadler rode 4:18:23

yikes - that's fast

*edit - i'm awful at math

He looks god awful slow...already shuffling when the legs should feel good to be off the bike. Here they come...

So has Crowie gone too hard? Props to McKenzie he had a solid ride, lets see what he can do on the run now.

ok what run split does craig need for a new kona record?

Alexander putting a head-move on VanH with a pass in transition? Nice.

Matt is a great, spokes person. Quick and entertaining!

Wow, so it seems that Lieto has rode his typical ride and the others just went harder. Will be interesting to see if Crowie can run as well after riding that hard.

Crowie looks good running in T2

Craig is going to break 8 hours. This is going to be crazy...but I think he's got it with a low 2:40 mary

From Cycleops Twitter: @chrislieto just 8 seconds shy of the #IMKona bike course record with a time of 4:18:31. Wowza!!

Barring a meltdown Crowie runs away with it...

Craig looks like he's on fire!

Crowie looked real good..

This is going to be historic...

crazy good split by Crowie. He is the man to beat. Maybe a 26 mile war between him and VanH.

2:40 gets him under 8 hours

Should be one of the most fantastic running leg in Hawaii, both male & female

so the record of 8:04 is very, very possible

awesome

I know its tough to do live, but my favorite line so far is "We still have some athletes coming in to transition" after 5 of 2300 are in ;-)

LVL's record could go down today....if the conditions are OK, could we see sub 8 today? 5:20 out of transition....

But, but what is Rachel Joyce doing right now!!!

You are right, Lieto doesn't look good.

But -talking about his chance- Matt was very objective, basically saying straight out forward that he doesn't stand a chance with that lead.

I think it's crowie's race to lose.
