    God I hope she can! She's certainly earned it. But I guess all she can do is what she can do on the day - she can't control what other people can do on the day.

    Seems to be in third place now after a hilly 9 miles. This race is all going to depend on the run. Podium? Kona? Can she do it? :)

    Go DD, she has to make the podium with this performance :)

    Very tight between her and 4th place, who seems to be out of T2 before Dory. Hopefully she'll be able to reel her in.

    Edit: Tracker is slow to update, so not sure where she is. Out of T2 in 6:40.

    Tough looking first run split. Hopefully she will settle into a groove

    The others in her AG don't have updates for mile 3.6 either. The leading men are missing splits for two timing mats at 7.3m and 11m, there's something awry.

    The girls ahead are running better unfortunately. She may have to be content with her current placing.

    I'm still trying to figure out how anyone can follow a 3.8km swim in 57 mins with 180km on a bike in 6.25 hours. To even tackle a marathon after that is beyond my comprehension. I'm guessing there are only tough runs...

    +1 I can't comprehend running a marathon let alone doing all the rest before it. Looks like the third split of the others is slower than the first two so it must be a hard section.

    She's passed the 20m point! Atta girl Dory! Slowed a bit more but still going forward.

    Really need to go to bed now, really can't stay up another hour....but really want to hang in to the end...

    At 20.1 miles Dory has a 11 min lead on 5th place lady (who is slowing by the mile). Dory is on the home straight.

    Should do a comfortable sub 12. Whats the betting she complains about a bad run time.

    Just in case, I'm getting in early: youre doing a great run time!!!

    Dory in case you read this before I get back to it: well done; I'm chuffed for you that you've done so well and not even in the context of your femur injury not that long ago.
