Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 25 seconds. Armstrong is working hard to hold on, but Docherty is flying through the run course right now.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 The gap is now down to 15 seconds. Armstrong is hanging tough, but it doesn't look like he'll be able to hold off the 35-year-old Kiwi.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 They are at the transition area now - that's less than a km to the finish. Docherty looks like he's going to do it again - Dirk Bockel 12 years ago, Lance Armstrong today. Or is he?
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Docherty is in the lead now - he has five seconds on Lance Armstrong as he runs towards the finish chute. Armstrong isn't quitting, but he isn't able to stay with the Kiwi right now.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 The gap is up to 10 seconds. We're expecting them to come into the stadium any second now. We could still have a sprint to the line.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Armstrong is hurting now - but third place isn't in sight, so he should be good for second here today.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Hah - I forgot they had to make one more loop around the parking lot! Docherty should be coming into the stadium area any second now. This place is hopping - hands down the most people I've seen at a finish line in North or South America.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Docherty is now 30 seconds ahead of Lance Armstrong. He can't ease off a bit because Armstrong is not quitting at all!
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Armstrong is into the stadium now, too. What a debut! Second!
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Here comes Docherty! He's won Ironman 70.3 Panama in 3:50:13.
Fish Eagle Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Lance Armstrong just finished second at Ironman 70.3 Panama - an impressive 3:50:55.
