Under 11 hours, you are a very talented athlete and probably don't work for a living.Under 12 hours, you have put in some serious years of consistent training. You don't have time for much else in your life.Under 14 hours. A great achievement which takes enormous effort. You probably work full time and have other interests and responsibilities.Under 17 hours. You are very strong mentally, you don't quit. You know that with more training and focus you can be faster. Everyone gets the same medal. Very few people ask your time. Everyone does an Ironman for their own personal reasons. Those who are committed make the start line. Those who start, finish.

Lets hope it stays there. If it turns Easterly then we in for a tough bike.
