Help with following Denise at IMAZ

[crazycanuck]

Hi Guys,

I didn't want to hijack Denises threads!

As i'm going to be at work when Denise is doing IMAZ-lovely time zones -could someone do me a huuuuuge favour? I'm happy to send you something in return

If you're going to follow RM's progress on IM live, could you send me any updates? Please PM me & i'll give you my work email address.

Thank you

Well, I checked just now, 10:50 AM my time and 8:50 AM her time (I think?).

There are no results as of yet:

I am about to leave the house for a ride/run in about 1 hour... so hopefully something will be there when I get home.

I am watching the life feed and it looks like at 2 hours into the race, some people are heading out for the bike. GAWD I hope she made the cut off for the swim!!!!

[KSH]

OK, the swim is in! YES!

TOTAL SWIM 2.4 mi. (1:58:26) 3:07/100m 20

Here is what Denise predicted for each leg:

And now for my predicted times:

Swim- 1:50- 2:00. Anything slower than that and I may be toast.

T1 10 minutes

Bike 7-7.5 hours - should be closer to 7.25 (fingers crossed)

T2 10 minutes

Run: 6-6.5 hours. I'm hoping to be closer to 6, but after the bike all bets will be off.

[KSH]

Her T1 was perfect!

T1: SWIM-TO-BIKE 9:48

[Blueberry]

Her T1 came in at 9:48 - hopefully we'll have an update for the first leg of the bike soon....

Edit - Sorry about the double post - must have been typing at the same time

How's the weather. That's very important now.

Someone go out there and calm the wind.

[Offthegrid]

Go, Denise, go!

FIRST BIKE SEGMENT @ 37 mi mark 37 mi (2:33:23) 14.47 mph

The winner of IM AZ just came in - he's reporting that the wind was ferocious.

Go Denise, GO!

[alpinerabbit]

Allez Denise!

[Tristnmum]

I can't reach Tony! EEKKKKKK...... I am praying that the wind is at your back as you finish this bike leg!!!!! It's killing me to not be there.....

However, I will have a Dodger Dog and a beer in your honor!

Those were the two words DH hollered as he rolled by at mile 67 of the IMAZ bike course a couple of hours ago. I kind of figured that out, since I had been watching tumbleweeds tumbling by on the road and I couldn't even stand straight up when I used my binoculars. The only way to use the binoculars was to crouch down. Oh, and there were those giant standing road signs that were getting blown over, too.

I rode one loop of the course yesterday and it's a great ride. But probably not so great in these conditions... At the moment, it's a tailwind on the way out and a massive headwind on the way back. The wind is factoring into the run, too.

Go, Denise!

7:35 EST, the first girls came in a few mins ago....9:30 something....crazy....

[Wahine]

They still don't have data for Denise's 2nd leg on the bike.

Here's what I found on Knapplaura tho:

TOTAL SWIM 2.4 mi. (1:53:19) 2:58/100m place: 2007

FIRST BIKE SEGMENT @ 37 mi mark 37 mi (2:12:52) 16.71 mph
SECOND BIKE SEGMENT @ 112 mi mark 83.6 mi (4:17:40) 19.47 mph
TOTAL BIKE 112 mi. (6:30:32) 17.21 mph place: 1401

I hope Denise is OK.

Go Denise Go!!
