Bullet Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I always like to follow the guys blogs leading up to ironman. I enjoyed Raynrds blog on his World champ prep. Since then he has been very quite. See that James cunnama is actively racing. Was wondering what is going on in the tissink camp leading upto Ironman. Did not see him at EL, he injured??
RaeTrewBrowne Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 he didn't enter 70.3 because he was focussing on the Abu Dahbi race, as far as I know he is racing IMSA, saw him in one of our LBS the other evening and he is looking strong! hoping for another win
gummibear Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Raynard was having some bike issues but got a 4th place at Abu Dhabi Triathlon last weekend.I wonder what bike he will be riding at IMSA?
Face Plant Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 he has been riding cervelo for a while now you think he might change Gummibear?
scuzzy Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I also know that he mentioned on a Twitter message that he was getting ill, same as in GErmany last year Ok, Ok. The new bike is a Trek Speed Concept. Final discussions are only taking place tomorrow, but things are looking good. The official story is that I have no "bike sponsor", but that I will be looked after by Cycle Lab who will provide me with whatever I need. Funnily enough, I was never sponsored by Cervelo either, but by the local distributor. So not much has changed. Seems like last years Germany bug has reared its ugly head once again...fever and muscle ache is no fun. Waiting for doctors report back on blood tests...need to start training again. #IMSAisclose Doctors report indicates a virus, not good news. Rest is the only medicine, which is not ideal prep for IMSA. Managed to get a ride in, wasn't pretty though, feels like starting at square one again. At least I'm up and running, so there's still hopem
Thug Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Just started following him on Twitter. Â Haven't seen or read and tweets yet.
Eugene Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Saw him out on the road on Sunday afternoon on a Cervelo. I greeted him (as I do all other cyclists) and as usual got nothing back from him.
Bullet Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 thanks, will have a look on twitter a bit. hope he and james can make a good race of it this year. Also hope Chrissie doesn't beat them.
Wolweseun Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I Think we may just see a lady whip there asses this year

Face Plant Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 thanks, will have a look on twitter a bit. hope he and james can make a good race of it this year. Also hope Chrissie doesn't beat them.you speaking about Chrissie Wellington? you dont really think she will be quicker than Raynard do you?
MariusL Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 you speaking about Chrissie Wellington? you dont really think she will be quicker than Raynard do you? Â She does ride a Cannondale
American Flyers Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Why don't he buy no name brand frame and put label on the frame saying "No sponsor" Then he must try win the race....
raptor Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Wow - so he has a top 5 place at the worlds, and seems like he is struggling to get a bike sponsor... that's sad in a way  Yip funny thing he is not riding in a red specialized kit yet,
Bullet Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Last three years winning times:Â 2010 - 8:232009 - 8:172008 - 8:18Â Chrissie Wellington world record 8:19Â Yes I do think she has a chance of beating the guys or at least top 5. Maybe she won't do 8:19 again at PE but I think PE is (with no wind) a fast course and that she will place good.
Face Plant Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 no doubt that if there is someone that can give the men a go it would be her but it would be interesting to see what the mens times was when she put up her world record.. if i recall correctly she broke the world record after starting with triathlons like a year earlier
