Bike split slippages was a warning sign.

He'll need 6:15 per mile to break 9

High 6s per mile will get him the irish record though.

Joyce Wolfe almost matching Matts running speed :eek: Are they all running downhill with a tailwind or something!

Wolfe definitely going to break Taz's record of 9.46.

Notwitch

Anybody got the live timing working by country? There seems to be an Irish race on out there!?

Splits are wrong for that segment - check out other runners, I don't think he's hit the wall

mloc123

He is running again, high 6min/miles now

For sure, she is very consistent thus far...

If that short segment was a glitch then Matt still gunning strongly...

King Quez well inside sub4 marathon pace on the run. If he can hold it together it could be low 11s

mloc123

The run splits must be nonsense, hard to figure out if any of them are correct. Very strong AG it seems.

duffyshuffle

Someone just ran across the line waving an Irish flag at 8:48

Notwitch

Martin muldoon

duffyshuffle

Martin Muldoon - so new Irish record?

29 Muldoon, Martin 76/28/3 37/M-35 01:03:16 04:50:19 02:49:03 08:49:45

is he irish? results say London/England

Notwitch

He was at kona last year as an Irish man

mloc123

2.49 run 0_0

duffyshuffle

From Derry/Donegal from athlinks.com http://www.athlinks.com/myresultsadv.aspx?rid=45679165 and the irish flag :-)

tunney

"A sign of the times Martin Muldoon is yet another who travelled abroad for work. The Derry man races with Serpentine Club in London having launched his career 5 years ago. Germany in 2009 was his first attempt at the long distance race and he, like Declan Doyle, qualified at Ironman Switzerland this year. Martin's qualification is all the more impressive considering he claims to still be afraid of water!"

New record, everyone watching the wrong man.

2:49 run. Respect.

mloc123

Does not show up when I search for Muldoon and IRL...

bryangiggsy

Holy **** that has caught us all by surprise...we would have caught that if the tracker was working. Fair play mr Muldoon...take a bow son

duffyshuffle

So a non-swimmer IM record replaced by a non-swimmer IM! Well non swimmer compared to the run, insane run split

duffyshuffle

Matt Molloy just finished 9:02:40 commentator said heres another Irish man in now, i'd say Matts thinking what the hell??

Oh that would suck as he also broke the record

bryangiggsy

Owen Martin also came in under 9 hours. Savage going.

bryangiggsy

Joyce Wolfe in as 8th female 9.15 ...new irish record

Notwitch

So, a huge step up in the top age group results in Austria on Sunday.

1st M35-39 went from 8:40 in 2010 to 8:33 in 2009 but 20th went from 9:34 down to 9:10.

1st M40-45 went from 8:47 to 8:34 but 20th went from 9:46 to 9:12.

So gross oversimplification but the favourable conditions may have taken c. 5 - 10 minutes off but is the increase in competitiveness a result of the new Kona Pro rules or an anomoly of a stacked field for Austria in 2011?

Are we gonna see the same in switzerland and frankfurt?

mloc123

Conditions helped I would imagine. about 20 degrees on Sunday compared to about 38 iirc last year?

For someone who himself said has done very little training our very own Tunney seems to be going well in Frankfurt, 1:09 swim and about 34km avg through 108km on the bike. If he holds pace it should see him complete the swim/bike in about 6.5hours.....not so shabby

Yeah seen that myself, hopefully he can get the run right now after last time

Tunney finished in 10.54.

1.09, 5.25 and run in 4.08.

Fair play.

That is impressive with limited training, not bad for plodding around

tunney

Hey I said I would do 10:47 so I wasn't far off. Was chuffed to be outmoded the water in 1:10 with effectively no swimming. I'm more of a runner so gutted with the "run" time.

Race report to come but in a nutshell a **** day in every sense of the word.

Horrific winds and rain. Cold too. Slow bike for everyone I think.

I got a tummy bug on Friday and that had an impact on the run. 10-15 trips to the portoloo.

I'd also underestimated the impact of being 12 stone and not 10.5.

A nicely run event. Pity about conditions.

Alot of disappointed Irish over here (I'm not one of them)

kingQuez

Fair play tunney, hate that you beat me off no training! (I) must try harder

griffin100

Well done Tunney. Goes to show that limited training and a large dose of HTFU can go a long way

RacoonQueen

Was this Frankfurt? Well done Tunney.

LCD

Tunney did a good time in relation to the amount of training he did. But what you have to remember is that the guy has a lot of base miles logged over the years, so for anyone else expecting to go sub11 on the 2011 Tunney plan its not going to happen! You need 5/6years of consistent training in the bank before you can go sub 11 while being out of shape.

nerraw1111

LOL at "being out of shape."

LCD

"Out of Shape" relative to the sheep I have seen him in. We went to Italy in April 2007 & the guy looked like a skeleton just waiting for the skin to come off. He was probably too light then.

Mispelling I hope....or is there a reason there is a lost sheep in kenmare??

Fair play to Tunney for completing Frankfurt....I struggle to comprehend how someone can put themselves through that torture when they know they're completely out of shape and have gone much faster before. I hope Tunney its given you the motivation to get back into training again.

Tell us more....:pac:

Bambaata

Well done Tunney! As LCD has said the haribo diet and training regime can only work for those who have the years of training behind them. Was the "Pleased to beat you" t-shirt handed over? ;-)

Jackyback is up next to be put under the microscope. no pressure lad

No pressure so:rolleyes:

shotgunmcos

Good man Tunney, not a bad result there after all your winging Kudos. Hey I dragged 12+ stone around Roth , no excuse Sounds like a tough day at th office at Frankfurt though.

JB, There is more intrinsic pressure put on you from this place than anywhere in real life, but then I guess you kind of set it up for yourself :rolleyes: I'll be tracking you too but know not to be getting carried away if you pull a good swim out of the bag!

For anyone interested, Roth report finally up in the log.
