SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Jimmy Riccitello@JimmyRiccitelloMile 4 splits - 10:00 to Kriat; 10:10 to Godoy; 14:30 to Castillo (temp getting noticeably hotter) #IM703FL @IronmanTri
SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 At mile 8 Lance is still running 5:50 / 55 miles. Jimmy reports he has a great cadence and looking very good. Top 5 men at mile 4.4: 1 2:54:41 4 Lance Armstron2 3:04:44 10:04 29 Maxim Kriat Clermont FL USA3 3:04:59 10:18 25 Francesc Godoy Barcelona ESP4 3:06:13 11:33 7 Andres Castillo Bogota COL5 3:07:22 12:41 14 Michael Poole Land O Lakes FL USA
SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 He left transition with a little over 10 minutes. And yes you guessed it as he approaches the mile 9 - he still maintains a little over 10 minutes from Kriat. 03:29Ironman is all about consistency and Lance is so far demonstrating the art of that perfectly. He came into transition with a little over 10 minutes on the chase. The Ghost 1
SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 I just heard Lance has passed mile 12. Can I say we are less than 10 minutes away from seeing the winner - or is that tempting fate! Time to dig out that ole Lance Avatar....
SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Lance is racing in his 4th 70.3 here today. Wearing bib#4. Coincidence? Apparently not – but very cool all the same. And also very LUCKY as Lance crosses the line to take his first Ironman 70.3 win!I cannot quite believe what I am seeing. 3:45:38 is the winning time! So just how fast did Lance run?1:15:56. He has his first title. Set's a course record (as we are racing in a new location) and sets a run personal best! The Ghost 1
pista Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Set's a course record (as we are racing in a new location) and sets a run personal best! Awesome :clap:
SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Thought he had pushed to hard on the bike, pleasant suprise to see he did not fade on the run
SwissVan Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 You think he could be a threat to the podium?IMHO it will be just a bit to long for him, maybe next year...
Skuzzi Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Lance gets his first win. 3h45min. Crazy. 2h01 bike split with a 1h15 run
