Holy crap, it's up to 92 degrees in St. George, when the normal for today is in the 70s! Hang in there Kacie, LOTS of icy sponges await you on the run!!
The male winner just crossed the finish in 8:32. Wow.
Kacie's tweetmaster just posted that she's finishing the bike and struggling. Go, Kacie, go! You're home free now, just take it easy!

BIKE SPLIT 3: 112 mi 46 mi (3:15:41) 14.10 mi/h
TOTAL BIKE 112 mi (7:24:39) 15.11 mi/h 1077 21
RUN SPLIT 1: 6 mi 6 mi (1:20:35) 13:25/mi
Kacie's struggling a bit on the run, hang in there - just take it easy, at least get some electrolytes and calories in. The temp's going to start going back down, the sun's going to start setting. You've got plenty of time, but you won't need it - after it starts cooling, you'll be able to start running again.
Go, Kacie, go!

Saw Kacie as she was finishing bike/run transition....she said it was hilly around here. After speaking with her DH he thought that was a bit hillarious as well. Humoe when your suffering. Almost 20 to 6 PM here...still very hot outside, probably will be until the sun goes down. Think she is doing better now. Stomach was bothering her.

I've been following her times here: http://tracking.ironmanlive.com/news...&sort=&dir=asc
She started so strong on the bike, but probably hit the hills and heat and slowed down (not surprising!) Looks like she's struggling on the run starting out. I can only imagine how very difficult it must be. Heck, I struggle running just a few miles and can't imagine running a marathon, much less after a century+ bike ride and long swim too.
No matter what, she is a hero!Emily

She made it, of course.
Congrats, Kacie. It was a very tough day, evidenced by how far you moved up the ranks from swim to bike to run even considering you added 2 hours from your last IM. (ETA: That sounds horrible, but you know what I mean. You did awesomely, but I bet it was a day FULL of DNFs.) When the weather is bad, you change your game plan, you start over, you adapt. That is what makes you Iron.
Enjoy the best meal of your life in the morning. It's always my favorite part other than hearing "you are an Ironman" and taking my finisher picture. No matter what you eat, it'll be the best thing you've ever eaten.

Kacie..your an Ironman!!!
Kacie,
Great, Great job yesterday. You were awesome especially on the bike and run. I'm so glad you were able to finish even when you perhaps thought you weren't going to make it. I've seen this now for two years and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that someone can do all of that in a day. Not only that you were a part of the few, the pround, your a woman finisher.
May you have a more relaxing Summer and Fall now that IMSTG is over.
Happy eating.
Red Rock
