Mmmmmmm some good ol Iiiiiiiiirrrrr'n City. Good call starting out light seeing as this is an eight hour + event. My SO would do the the exact same thing...

Yeah men’s pace is fast! I’m calling it, Wurf is on top of the podium today.

Terrible Tuesday’s Triathlon

I’m hoping Starky is in that front pack. I want to see him take off like a bat out of hell from T1 riding on pure hate

Finwoman!

The girl is flying!

One Brewdog Punk down so far. My strategy is to drop down onto the session pale ale (dead pony club) for a while then crank it up to Elvis Juice a bit later on.

Also I hope he gave his wife is phone so she can troll everyone with his Twitter throughout the race

What is the record? I see her at sting 48:00

Did they just see that Sebi K is with Wurf who is in the group that just got "dropped"??? That wouldnt make sense.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

You can see that there is a head current, the guys drafting are running into each others feet. If no one helps him, they may not get any records, even on this 200m shorter course..ANd he is not teasing anyone, he is pulling the headwind!!

How fast do you think amberger going - min@/100yd?

Yeah, typical Matt Lieto. Right there in on the action but can’t give us clear info on what’s going on

Last year I had uninterrupted livestream of the race. So far this year I have yet to get one second of live feed. Really sucks. Not impressed with the facebook thing.
;-(

Probably going around 1;03 or so pace, looks like it will be a 9 guy group at the finish, one guy getting spit off now..

Your facebooking skills must be weaker than mine. I've had nothing but livestream bliss

Google weather says possible rain starting at 11 in Kona. That would make things interesting

LC could take the record for both men and women. I have her finishing just under 45:00

Are you using this link? Mine is working well.

Yeah, he said they were 1 minute down and swimming with Brent McMahon? I will be very surprised if that is true.

Knock on wood. Great coverage.
Both swim records fall today?

Are we really surprised that they can't tell wtf is going on with all those white caps? Would have been cool if they could get trackers into the pro caps.

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

And for all of you out there who participated in the stroke count threads, Lucy is around 94 to 98 thus far per minute. Will count some of the men when they focus on them.

Well sh*t ... that's fast

Well we know who is faster out of Lucy and Lauren now.. (if there was any doubt)

yes, using that one. Do you have to be a member of facebook?

So did Lauren just not want to go with that "hot" of a start w LC, or is this just Lucy going beast mode from start?
