Sister Madonna Buder (age 77) was only 23 minutes behind Wahine at T1!!!!

Go Sister Buder! Go Wahine!

Also, a little off topic, but for those reading who are battling cancer or have a loved one who is...

My friends from PA were also just about 20 minutes behind Wahine at T1...they're a married couple...and she is healthy as a horse, and he has been battling metastatic colon/liver cancer, including chemo, for the last 1.5 years. A tough couple.

Go everyone!!! Go Wahine!!!!

We just rolled our lazy butts out of bed and I've read through all of Wahine's DH's posts, which are fantastic and brought tears to my eyes....

My DH asked how this time compares to what she'd hoped. Is it bad luck if I repost what she predicted?

Wahine is kicking some international butt! Loads of butterflies surrounding her,

2:14:55 on the bike at 40 miles! 17.79 mph average! Woohoo!

Just checking the leaderboard. The woman in 10th place is #563 over all. Wahine is #607 over all. Sounds pretty good to me!

**Tri Girl** · 08-26-2007, 11:20 AM

WOW!

Thanks for all the live updates!! This is SOOOO exciting. She's kicking tail!

I'm watching Wahine #2289 http://ironman.com/events/ironman/ca...tracker&y=2007 and Sister Madonna Buder #2787

At the 40 mile bike mark, Sister Buder was only 19 minutes behind Wahine! (add that to the 23 minutes at the T1, and I think that makes her a total of 42 minutes back)

Go, Iron Women, go!!!

Edit: there are a few bike photos showing up now, for those of us who can't get the video to work (a couple niiiiice subies, too!

GO Yoda GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're watching the live local coverage. The lead women just went through the transition to the run. At the 40 mile mark, Cassie was about 15 minutes behind. I am now officially glued to the TV and thinking loads of butterflies to Cassie right now.

You aren't missing a lot on the race feed. Too much face time for the commentators and they talk about one person for too long instead of doing running commentary.

Oh well, I'll take what I can get.
[edit] now we're starting to see something worthwhile...

**LBTC** · 08-26-2007, 01:02 PM

Argh! The track an athlete isn't working now!

And the local coverage is following the lead runners, not showing the transition area!

Argh!!

**LBTC** · 08-26-2007, 01:19 PM

I think I crashed the ironman site. Darn.

Guess it's time to clean the house and think of loads of butterflies around Cassie!!

It's working for me, just very slowly.

**LBTC** · 08-26-2007, 01:42 PM

yup, it came back, thankfully, but there is nothing new to report.....I think the results page is a bit behind - she must have gone through the transition by now, right?

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?
