    There does not seem to be a way to track by country unfortunately. Also...one one split for the bike, the 180k mark. Great :rolleyes:

    Seems strange that they dont have a timing mat at the bike turnaround alright.

    Probably not a topic for this thread but what's the point in halving it? either have a full swim or no swim, it's a lake so it's obviously not down to flow etc?

    Down to cold m the longer u in the greater the risk of hypothermia. Wud rather swim 500 m than none after all it is a triathlon

    Pace slipping out to 6s needs to hold on for around an 11:50. Gary had a cracking 10:46 with a 3:17 run to finish off. Bloody tough course, you dodged a bullet on this one:)

    Just got to look them up here, had to list all under 'C'.

    Serious time from Gary, the run splits are like clockwork.

    I am feeling sorry for myself here for not being there but at the same time, I think I may have dodged a serious bullet alright.

    kingQuez just through the finish line in 11:58

    Must've been some final 5k for KQ...almost caught Tango despite spending about 3 hours longer on the bike that Tango

    edit 2: His last 5.6 was his quickest of the day at 4:23km/h

    Back to Texas, Owen Martin 29th in AG off the bike, needs to run like a demon to catch those in front.

    Tracking a lad from work in his first ever tri in Lanza on the day of his 40th birthday - reading about his and others 8hr bike times and long hot marathons doesn't make me want to do another IM...............ever!!!!!!!

    That said watching IM western Australia at the minute on Eurosport does make me want to do another :)

    I happened to be in Lanzarote for the past week, had no idea it was going to be while this was on. My god, what an atmosphere. I'd done a few marathons and olympics, never ventured into the long distance stuff, but even the dog on the streets knew what was going on.

    The entire town seemed to be out in force treating it like they were spectators at a pro event, I'd say it felt amazing to be competing at. All te finisher tshirts at the airport yesterday evening, you'd think it was Man U going through. Looked great. On the way home, some old ladies sitting behind me were all talk about the ironman. I'd say they never heard of it before last week, but seemed to know all about the distances, times etc, even asking the air hostess to say congrats to "Alan the Ironman", who they informed me was the first irish finisher (may or may not be true).

    Anyway, congrats to all. It was a very tough day for it. Very windy and obviously hot/hilly. Well done to all finishers. It's definitely whetted my appetite.

    oi!

    Yeah, figured if I picked up the pace and could hold it I'd crack 12hrs when I checked the time at the final turning point..
