No that doesn't seem right. I'm not sure if I really understand why they did that. I guess that if they cut off the clock at 17:00 hours, there could have been someone who started last...say 15 minutes in who actually finished in 17:00 (hours) but the finish clock would have been stopped and they still had 15 minutes more time to finish.
Anyway, you all who have completed the distance are still heros to me.
It was incredible to watch the racers finish up! Many had family members cross the line with them, some crying, some strong, some stumbling. wow!!!!
Incredible! the finish was in a neat place too! We talked to a lady who had done IM Florida and another one....Wisconsin maybe? and said that this one was very well done for a first time.
