Ironman Australia (Unofficial Thread)

<2hrs to the pro start…what a weekend of racing (CA, SA, OZ & NO)!.


No video coverage?
Am I just not seeing it?

I don’t see video but the text “updated whenever we feel like it” coverage is here: http://ironman.com/events/ironman/australia/?show=coverage

jonnyo was 3min down out of the water an hasn’t blipped on the radar yet, though it seems they’re only covering the top 10 men and top 3 women.

It is better than nothing for sure, but unfortunately indeed only the top 10 or so folks.

Jonnyo swam 50min and rode 5:03 which makes him 20min off the pace and leaving T2 one place behind Chrissie Wellington.

If my math is correct, Vernay & Jacobs are running <2:40 pace & Chrissie is well <2:55 pace.


Will Chrissy break the top 10?!

less than 2 mins out of top 10.

6 for 6!

Jonnyo hasn’t finished according to the athlete tracker.

Unfortunately it would seem that it is not his day.As he has yet to pass the 11mile timing mat I would suggest that he stopped soon after the 10k mark.That’s a shame for him and I hope it is just a bad day and nothing more.

I am surprised how little interest there has been in not only Jonnyo’s day but for the whole IMOZ race.

I noticed he was pretty far behind. On his blog he said he was feeling tired going into the race. Darn it.

I’m surprised too but we are all pretty US centric here, in case you didn’t notice. People are also distracted by Oceanside and New Orleans.
