Great progress so far :cool:

Oryx · 20-09-2014 2:48pm

Faster second bike split. Good going.

ecoli · 20-09-2014 4:17pm

Holding steady pace on the bike for 3rd split, seems to have settled into a nice little groove

Oryx · 20-09-2014 4:20pm

Halfway thru bike in under 3 hrs.

ecoli · 20-09-2014 4:24pm

Sitting in 2nd in her AG about a min off the lead though your one is really hammering the bike after a slow swim as long as DD keeps the head her running background will hopefully make up any gap gained by your one on the bike

ecoli · 20-09-2014 5:15pm

Sitting in 4th now 3 min 30 off the leader slowed a little but nothing too major and still seems to be holding steady.

Of the top 4 The leader looks to be be starting to hurt with a significant slow down in the last split compared to the others

ecoli · 20-09-2014 6:52pm

Consistently plugging away holding that 4th position looks to be about 17 min down on the leader so will have her work cut out for her but depending on how the legs are off the bike should manage to reel in a good chunk of time on the run.

pgibbo · 20-09-2014 6:54pm

Nice and consistent. Bodes well for the run :cool:

pointer28 · 20-09-2014 6:55pm

Anyone know how many KQ spots for her age group?

Solobally8 · 20-09-2014 7:04pm

Out on the run. Come on Dory! Great bike!

catweazle · 20-09-2014 7:11pm

5.22 bike for the leader - Christ is that what awaits me in my 50's.

Let's hope she is not a runner!

Every age grade is guaranteed 1 slot and then grades with most entrants, eg male 35-39 and 40-44 will get more

Fantastic to see Dory get under 6 hours on the bike - well done dory

Ecoli you are on :P

griffin100 · 20-09-2014 7:24pm

1st on swim and 4th on bike in AG.......if she can get her marathon time as close to 3.30 as possible she's gonna be in with a good shout of a podium placing (or better).

RacoonQueen · 20-09-2014 7:25pm

sub 6 was her goal on the bike so fab to see her nail that

Run like the wind DD

Not just that but the splits were solid which bodes well, She was always gonna take to the water like an eel (not Eddie:P) with the focus of the bike being get around in one piece (which she nailed thanks to hard work on her part and her coaching infrastructure - thank christ they stepped in as a bath tub of water or a tricycle would give me nightmares

)

She has a good solid background on the roads now for the running and should definitely be in amongst the strongest in this discipline

Edit: Just seeing opening run splits from the girls up ahead of her, as long as she came off the bike in ok should be well on course to be up amongst them

RacoonQueen · 20-09-2014 7:52pm

I'm signing off shortly so can someone tweet or text me updates please. Good children. Thank you.

pgibbo · 20-09-2014 7:56pm

That Tamara lady is fairly trucking. DD holding splits well and faster than 2 of top 3 :cool:

Oryx · 20-09-2014 8:38pm

Splits are a bit up and down. Id say shes consistent and the timing mats arent

Pmaldini · 20-09-2014 8:39pm

Nice even pace, keep it going Dory

pgibbo · 20-09-2014 9:00pm

If the predicted finish time is right she'll be on the podium for sure :cool:

Harsh - I trust you are familiar with the "tortoise & the hare" fable?*

*The hare wins 99 times out of 100...:)

Festina lente, DD - you are flying!

griffin100 · 20-09-2014 10:28pm

Last few miles, pace still steady. Looks like she's paced it perfectly.

Solidly consistent. No problems there.

catweazle · 20-09-2014 10:49pm

My maths are terrible, looks like leader off the bike Tracey has blown up, she's out to 15 minutes mile pace. Looks like it's Tamara for the win at this stage - a few behind her look like they are going slightly better.

Fighting for a podium

Oryx · 20-09-2014 11:00pm

Less than five miles left!!

After 21.2mile marker:

Tamara Foltz 10:30 total race time, 11:39 m/h current pace
Tracey Mack 10:37, 15:36
Karen Robinson 10:50 11:32
Jean Norton 10:59 12:21
Nina Wending 11:00 11:55
Dory 11:00 12:33

So there are 3 in close proximity for 4th place, but who knows whats gonna happen...
