Just got a copy of this years race and a few comments
Riding your bike into T2 despite being told to get off it at the line is fine.
It is not cool to be out run by a massive chick on in the finish shute if you are about to win. Can someone please explain to me why the chick was trying to out run Craig with a boost Juice drink??
The self proclaimed “Ironman Chef” ROCCO DISPIRITO coks better than he races.

I thought all 70.3 races had a 7.5hr cutoff??
Fantastic interview with Macca.
D Ficker is sooooo hot.
The best looks tough when the pro’s struggle up it.
Very casual race. Looks a good one.
Well done to all that raced it.
The race was incredibly difficult. The swim wasn’t much (other than slowtwitcher ‘itseazy’ breaking the swim course record about 5 minutes after the pros did).
The bike and beast was surprisingly difficult. The spring up north was too chilly and I wasn’t at all prepared to race in the heat, and melted down on the run as a result. I think I ran a 2:10 1/2 or so, and finished in 5:10. 6 weeks later at CdA, I went 9:35. I feel I was equally prepared for both races.
The pros really suffered (other than Alexander, i’m talking about the HUMAN pros). I have a few pics where Macca looks like a deer in headlights and even mentioned he didn’t think after the bike he’d be able to finish the race. An hour after he finished 3rd he was at the hotel Aid Station giving gatorade to people still racing.
I think i’m gonna go back. Unfinished biznass and all.
Where did you ge a copy from; do you mean a DVD?
If you have the DVD, we need to talk!
I’ll load it up on torrents later this week once I ahve cut all the ads out of it.
Oh 1 other thing I saw is that it’s fine to run with an IPOD in your ears. ???
