Wow right now, Lange is in perfect condition. I got him to repeat in a runaway on the run.

Ryf at 12th, 10:08 down on Lucy. Tracker shows Lucy riding a faster pace, putting time into her.

I think it is something reflective, and not an air gap?

No kidding!

nyone know where Ryf is?

Tracker has her in 12th, 10 minutes back

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

I've been tuned in for 15mins and not a mention or a split, Age groupers have been on 3 times!

Shocking coverage!

Yeah -- I mean, the coverage is really good. But they have been basically ignoring the women's race which is incredibly fascinating right now. But ignoring the women's pro field at Kona is pretty much an Ironman staple by now, so it's not unexpected I guess.

I think it's a rectangular foil sticker, not a void/gap in the BB shell..

how can you say that? He's chasing. Gomez is sitting in the main pack and conserving.

I think it’s a reflective sticker as well

If they can do a split screen to showcase the Hoyts (amazing in case people insert negativity towards them), why can't they do a split screen for the mens/ womens?!?!

It looked to be a gap, as I looked at his and then I believe it was someone immediately after on screen and it was something different.

What's really annoying is the patting on the back that they do talking about how Ironman appreciates the impact the women have had from the start... Messick said it on Lance's podcast and my eyes almost rolled from my head

Chasing PB Podcast Latest interview with Eli Hemming on Targeting a US MTR spot in Tokyo

I'm liking Wurf's discipline right now, pacing off of Starky. But at what point does he decide to contribute? He'll need at least 15min over Gomez and Lange and 10 over Sanders and Keinle to win.

“You are experiencing the criminal coverup of a foreign backed fascist hostile takeover of a mafia shakedown of an authoritarian religious slow motion coup. Persuade people to vote for Democracy.”

Yes, embarrassing. Not a single mention in 15+ mins.

On the bike? Nah. When Starky pulled away Costes seemed to stick to the plan. He rides in the mountains a lot and he's a skilled descender so he will, on net, put time into the field coming down from Hawi. Costes still doesn't have the run to bring it home though. I think you'll see Starky crank things up to get the bike course record. Wurf will keep things "reasonable" on the bike in a bid to make the podium.

Lange seems to be getting a nice tow...

Go Lucy Charles!!!

They mentioned on the broadcast she might have had jellyfish troubles on the swim.

Let food be thy medicine...

Wurf just passed Starky, saying something to him.

big women's pack 3-10. Wonder how Sarah True is fairing...

Well I have had a couple of beers now..

A gap of almost 8 mins from 1st-2nd isn't fascinating to me. As badass of a ride for Charles, it's almost equally shocking/embarrassing that in what 25 miles, that's almost what a 3 mile gap....

ETA: Again I guess this is almost an heroic effort by Charles and probaly the others are just having standard Kona race.....but holy hell she's crushing this race right now.

like I was saying above, Wurf needs to work. He wants to win, and will need a big gap over uber runners and moderate gap over Sanders/Keinle types to do it

Charles looking prety impressive, could of got ridiculous odd on her winning this a couple of weeks ago!

NO WAY LANGE WILL GET ANYWHERE NEAR A 2:39!

-His front wheel is too deep
-Marshalls aren't letting him draft :)

I better get started on my second...
