Near tempted to bring the phone on my LSR tomorrow morning to check the updates

Macanri

Well MCOS has started as he means to continue.

Went off at 7:00; and has swam a 58:34, super swimming, then made a cup of tea and transitioned in 3:18 (got prepared for his sub 5:30 cycle).

Great going, go on Mike.

Handangeo went off at 7:25

Izoard off at 7:30. So both exiting the water shortly. All the best lads.

Knew he would go sub 60 for the swim, sets him up nicely.

nomadic

Nice swim, I reckon he'll go closer to 5 than 5.30 on the bike.

Closer to 4:50. On a fast course like Roth if he doesn't he was wasting his time with all the epic rides.

nomadic

Just dipping under 5 from his first split. 37km @ 36.3km/hr

Yes, a very strong swim from him. IIRC he was targeting 5:15. I was just been conservative/lazy and not taxing the brain!

Izoard came out of the water in 1:18, handangeo in 1:15. And both going at +30kph on the bike - nice one.

MCOS has come through 70km in 1:56.

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

Mike through 153km in and around 4:23 so I reckon he will be somewhere around 5:10 for the bike which leaves him at 3:48 for transirion/marathon for the sub 10. Izo through 120 and just over 4hrs. Keep it going lads!!

Just a touch over 5 hours on the bike for MCOS. On the run now.

kingQuez

All 3 seem to be getting on to plan so far. Hope MCOS puts in a good run now, he deserves it.

nomadic

looks like mcos has hit the wall, hopefully he can get it back on track.

Yeah drop in pace is worrying, just 13k to go come on mcos.

Have been following the goings-on across in Roth!

Great to see Declan Doyle home on 9.02 & Brian Campbell in on 9.05! Think I read somewhere it's Campbell's first IM, amazing!

Looking at MCOS's stats, think he might have sacrificed his run for a great bike split! I echo what nomadic has said hope he gets back on track, as for the effort he has put in to get to the start line has been huge!

El Director

Looks like he is back on track now so with less than 10 to go he should be fine. Keep it going guys!!

nomadic

yea much better split , come on Mike!

Abhainn

Comon!!!

nomadic

bollox, look's like **** has really hit the fan.

I really hope that last one was a timing glitch

Amazing times by those 2 alright.

Izoard had a bike of just over 6hrs, and is looking good to come in under 12 - a 4hr run will see him under 11:30. Great going.
Handangeo 5:30 bike and is looking at sub 11.

MCOS has suffered on the run unfortunately. And the split shows the last 8km taking 1hr. That's unfortunate. I'm very sorry to say it looks like he won't get uner the 10hrs. If I was a betting man I would have bet the house on him coming in under 10. A great achievement all the same. He must be in a world of pain.:(

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

**** it, est finish time of 10:07, I am genuinely gutted for him as I know how much that sub 10 meant to him.

+1.

El Director

It's not looking good for the sub 10 but he's giving it everything I'm sure. It's 27/28 degrees and thats not helping I'm sure.

Abhainn

Jaysus MCOS you gave it everything. You were shattered when you crossed that line thanks to the live webcam for us all to see. Fair play.
You are an Ironman!

El Director

MCOS finish 10:07:58

I really hope Mike's not disappointed because, like I said during the week-this is the man's first IM! 10:07 on a first attempt

I'm sure Mike will enjoy himself this evening regardless-knowing he gave it everything he had. Well done dude, well done.

Now come on the other boardsies, keep it going!

Macanri

Yea, well done Mike. A tough one.
Stressful stuff.

I know, Ive just had a second caffeine gel

He'll be disappointed - the amount of training and effort he's put into this - its inevitable. A phenomenal first crack at it.

kingQuez

Incredible result, even if its not the one MCOS was openly aiming for. Fair play man, that IM stuff will do brutal things to you!

kingQuez

Eek, CW did 8:18:13 :eek:

griffin100

11.30 for Izoard, solid result.

Izoard

Thanks lads...I'm sure you had better things to be doing of a Sunday afternoon:)
The stats make interesting reading, particularly for the run - my "bad" phase, pace-wise, didn't map to the dark mental phase...

I originally thought he was talking about Catzweazle, I looked at the screen like this for a few seconds before it clicked. :pac:

Edit: Not that I don't think our CW could do something so brilliant!

That would be my bike split

shotgunmcos

I can't walk down steps today!

You are all mad and thanks for following us in Roth. I'll pop a report into the log soon to shut you all up I ain't gutted, life is too short. I'll take it happily and move onwards and upwards! It wasn't a total calamity, just little things...

BTW Chrissie's extraordinary Marathon involved side stepping me gracefully with a smile on the Canal bank. I'm glad she chicked 46 male PROs for that alone :eek::)
