Help! Predict my Halifax 101 Time

Okay, I know, I know, you need a little more information.

So okay, here goes:

  1. I haven’t signed up for the race yet. 
    
  2. I have blue eyes. 
    
  3. I have watched parts of the last four Tour de Frances on cable at the summer beach house my mother in law rents every year in Sea Isle City. 
    
  4. I run in Vitruvians. 
    
  5. I use a Bento box, although it is just a small bento box. 
    
  6. My BMI is somewhere around 25. 
    
  7. I take walk breaks on long runs. 
    
  8. I have read Total Immersion. 
    
  9. I have seen Bjorn from a short distance away, but I didn’t introduce myself. 
    
  10. I saw tigerchik at the same race and didn’t introduce myself to her either.
  11. My tri shorts are black.
  12. We have a dog, but it is not my dog. I don’t run with the dog. I do play with the dog. No cats.
  13. I can do flip turns in the pool.
  14. I think Macca will win Kona next year. And probably will still be a prick according to some people.
  15. I think more is more unless you do less better than other people do more more.
  16. I really love playing basketball and golf, but I kind of suck at both and haven’t played either in a really long time.
  17. I raced Gordo in an Ironman. Well, ok he was 15 miles ahead of me on the run, but I was seriously racing him.
  18. I have raced Dave Scott, Mark Allen, Tom Demerly and Slowman. I have lost to Dave Scott, Mark Allen, Tom Demerly, Slowman, Dr. Tommy, Bjorn, Lisa Bently, Heather Fuhr, dev paul, Lar Dog, Rappstar, Joe Bonness, and well, if I stop and really think about it, about 15,000 other people as well. I beat tigerchik, though.
  19. I still want to be monty when I grow up.
  20. I know a little bit of Excel, which is enough to get you Slowtwitcher of the year votes.
  21. I can’t accept Slowtwitcher of the Year award, because then I’d have to dance with tigerchik at the coronation prom, and I don’t dance and I have promised my wife of the last five and a half years that someday we will go out dancing since before we were married and I haven’t done it yet because usually I am training a lot or too tired or too sore from training a lot or I am doing a race that I have been training a lot for and if I danced with tigerchik before I danced with my wife, my wife would probably really kill me seriously dead.

Bonus question: Do you think I can place in my age group?

Extra bonus question: How hard should I go on the bike?

it will probably take you as much time to get from the damn halifax airport to your hotel if you take the shuttle as it will to finish the race.

oh and I’d be pretty confident of placing in your agegroup. they will be lucky to get as many signups as Challenge Wanaka did…

Bonus question: Do you think I can place in my age group? For sure

Extra bonus question: How hard should I go on the bike? **As hard as possible, since this isn’t a full Ironman. **

Not sure what your time will be but but looking at the following items on your list :
4) I run in Vitruvians. - take 5mins of your run time great shoes!
5) I use a Bento box, although it is just a small bento box - take another 5mins of your bike time Hey MIT say’s so
13) I can do flip turns in the pool. - take at least 2mins of your swim time for this flip turns are just fast

You don’t think they’ll get more than 80 entrants? No way, several hundred at least.

-C

Well, at least Jonas has entered, and I haven’t lost to him, yet. Francois was entered for a while until he got the tenure time crunch endurance dance assignment last month.

You will definitely place in your AG. You will place OA also. It may be like 100th OA or lower but you will place

Now we’re talking!

Always in motion, the future is. difficult to see.

Most excellent. I think you win.

:slight_smile:

I don’t know your time, but the fella who put up the fastest 1/2 in 2006 is stepping up to the distance…according to his website.

I’m tentatively planning on Halifax. YOU’D BEST COME OVER AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF! We can dance and we just won’t tell your wife :wink:

I predict you will beat me :wink: But at last, you, tigerchik and I can all hang out and drink beer afterwards. AP

Tentative my butt. You just do it missy :wink:
