    Timing updated, I think Oryx is in the lead now followed closely by Red.

    Hard what to make of Handageos time, looks like if chip times are correct he is running injured. Over 2 hours in transition, fair play to him hes showing great courage

    As an aside I see Kevin Thornton just missed the sub 10, it just shows how hard a target it must be as I would have said he was a nailed on cert to dip under given his performances this year.

    Great race by Mike O Brien in 9.36 (good Limerick Tri club target for Shotgun)

    Yep, MOB, aka Mr Duracell in my log home in 9:37 with a 3:14 run on his first IM, savage in that heat. First Irish home too by the looks of it. Anyother boardsie will be happy eswords but 4:41 on the bike??

    Katie Cooke 13 overall and podium AG! Great stuff

    Handangeo 12:26, or is that right, tracker is messed up in places

    C'mon the rest of the Boardsies!

    Great stuff - Handegeo done and dusted for the day, must have been chip problems. Time = 12.26 (with a standout time of a 2.11 marathon split - watch out Kenya :D)

    There has to be some issue with that time for George as he was targeting 2hr quicker. Impressive time and marathon in MOB first IM.

    Handangeo done in 12:26. Timing must've been acting up for him.

    Oryx is Jewish??? :confused:;)

    Probably computer or chip issues. Or they've all nodded off.

    Excuse my ignorance, but I presume there are Kona slots at Austria? Is this close to qualifying?
    He came 53 overall i think and 32 in his age group...u do a 937 and only come 32nd...uber competitive age group..no hope of a roll down that far...but bound to be knocking on kona door in a yr or two..remember mob won tri an mhi half this year #perspective

    32 AG, I sorted by AG and I counted him in as 10th AG. Remove all the Pro men etc... Top 10 AG is a great performance. I swim with him and another lad who finished today every monday. Both of them have been swimming sub 1hr IM pace on endurance swims last few weeks. Cooler IM, wetsuit swim and thats 10-12 mins off straight away. He jogged a 2:50 DCM last year. Absolutely Kona material even in the 30-34 ultra competitive AG.

    F£%k sake. I rare;y ever swear but for f£^k sake!!! 2 more boardsies out there and I'm glued to the LIVE finish feed waiting for them. Another club girl was running 1st in her AG and I need confirmation. Another lad who has been training and losing serious weight like a hero is going to turn some of my hair grey waiting him to come in before the cut off

    COME ON REDB! COME ON ORYX!

    Just heard from handangeo - sounds like the epic swim sucked the life out of him, add in a hillier than expected bike and running in 38 degrees - hell on earth!

    Congrats Red!

    Eh no. If he deserved to get it he would have placed top five. If he gets a roll down he is just lucky.

    I am getting concerned for Oryx given her and Red went through the HM at the same time. Never met you before Oryx but i am finding myself shouting and rooting for you. I so want to see a 280 cross that line.

    Doesn't seem to have been an update for a while, same with a girl from the club too. She went through run spit 5 ages ago and nothing since.

    Start a new thread as this is not the one for discussing roll down slots. I have my own personal views on it.
