ycowley Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Congrats to all the newly crowned Ironmen. Awesome stuff
Red Zone Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Holy cow that was tough, just managed to squeak in under 11 hours, 10:57. Really tough bike with the hills on the first half and headwind for the last 45 km. Klapped a 3:40 marathon to brink it home, very chuffed. Hard hard race

sluiper Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Wow, very, very different bike route compared to last year. I took 50 minutes longer on the bike than last year. I swam 10 minutes faster and ran 45 minutes faster, so I don’t think I'm less fit than last year. Admittedly I'm probably the world's worst climber so it probably affected me more than most. That howling headwind for the last 45km also wasn't a bunch of laughs. Anyways, enough complaining. Awesome race, as always. Congrats to all who finished a very difficult race.
Grantc Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Took major strain out there yesterdayhas hoping to shoot a sub 13:30Nailed a 16:20 wheels feel of on the bike completelyand that transferred to the run fantastic support from all on the side of the road
fabes Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 That was the hardest cycle I have ever done!! Went well on my first loop with a 3:20 split and then just after lake farm on the second loop I punctured. So I sat down to fix it which was the worst possible thing I could do. From there it became the longest day ever. Ended up doing a 15:52 I think
kingalton Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 well done guys, all my mates that did it said they left LOADS of blood out on that bike course... next year back to original route?

Garfield2010 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Posted April 7, 2014 Thx for the support guys. All i can say is that with this route someone will get seriously injured as some stage. How did DaveM do?? Didnt see him once
hboli4 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Yoh it was tough.My knees started paining early on in the bike and turned into a proper painfest.Walked most of the run.Scraped home in about 16.15. Well done to all who finished!!!
