Wahine at IM Canada - Race Feed

[divingbiker]

I couldn't even get the 72 mile time, so maybe it is way behind.

Anybody know her 72 mile time?

and I can't get Sister Buder's info at all. Anybody know how she's doing?

The way I interpret it, there's a time for the first 40 miles, and a time for the next 72 miles, for 112 total. So the 72 mile time won't be posted until she's done with the bike.

No update on Sister Buder since the 40 mile bike time.

The Out and Back. 12 Noon. PST

Sorry I’m late. Huge traffic jams.

Wahine just flew by.

We saw her at the crest of Richter Pass. Elevation at the bottom is about 1200 ft and the crest is about 2300 ft. Wahine’s coach thought she should charge near the crest. He pointed out that with the climb behind her, she will be sooner doing 35 mph down hill rather than spending more time at 12 mph mashing. “Do the math, he said.”

I can’t tell you if she followed his advice. She was already up there. When I asked her how she felt, she said “Medium”. Perhaps she tried to charge

We grab the signs and cowbells and cheer Wahine approaching low profile. Here then gone, heading for the climb at Yellow Lake. Is she on schedule? This time she said she felt good. Rosy cheeks and a you-guys-made-me-smile.

Simply Amazing!!!

I was shut out of the site for the last couple of hours, but just got back in. I saw the same data as above and a T2 time of 5:21.

This is sooooo exciting!

Keep it up, Wahine!!

The site has been frustrating, and so has the local coverage. I'm not getting anything done as I hope for a glimpse of her on TV.

Wahine rocks!! I am sooooooooooooooo impressed!

Thank you for posting Wahine DH!

Knot, sister Madonna has done IMC 10 times, she's the oldest competitor this year (a month older than the oldest man who turned 77 today), and her goal is to complete the IronMan Hawaii when she is 80 years old. (the live coverage just switched to the finish line and the race MC - much more interesting than al that face time the color commentators were getting!

Go, Wahine, Go!!!

Downtown Penticton, 2:35 P.M.

A glorious day for a run. Big white fluffies and 72 deg F (22 C). Not a drop on the bike course. Mild lake breeze all the way to Okanagan falls.

Traffic and cheering spectators line the roads. Lawn chairs and beer coolers on the curb. Kids in trees. We were in gridlock for T2! Athletes streaming by on tricked out bikes.

I’m heading out to the run course to see if I can judge Wahine’s stride. Three blocks from the internet.

The plan was: Wahine, do a form run for the first three miles, set the motor pattern, then increase the turnover ‘till optimal heart rate.

If she is striking heavy, I’ll know that Plan B is in place. Plan B is to tough it out at an injury-free pace and empty the bucket coming into town.

Yowsa! She’s gotta be happy with her first two events!
