Guess Mike's Kona Time!!

Alright, so in the midst of updating the time slots I lost this entire post.  No worries, I reposted all the time slots below as they were before.  But, for those of you who didn't see the rest of the post, I'll try to update this tonight and have the rest of the other details that were up earlier.

Everyone and anyone can comment below or tell me on Facebook, to let me know what 5 minute interval they would expect me to finish Ironman Hawaii!  By doing this, I wanted to get all of you just a little more involved for race day and get you even more excited for the big day! Only one person per time slot, and the winning guess will get some things from my sponsors, as well as something from the race... I'll announce that once I know more specifics!

Seems like the biggest piece of information people are using is my 2010 IMFL time (10:33:35), in combination that the Ironman Hawaii course is significantly more difficult than IMFL.  Also, my fitness is better now than it was in IMFL.
I don't have any goal time for the race (I didn't for IMFL either), since I'm really doing this race to soak in the experience... while trying to get as good of a finish time as possible  :)

This is a lousy lead-in, but this will have to do until later today.

NOTE:   "10:05:00" means 10:05:00 to 10:09:59

  9. I'm glad you at least got a time in Austin!

  10. I think it's more likely that you'll go 9:45 than over 11:40, so I'll have to go with 9:45. Good luck man, I'll be watching ya online.

  11. It's much more likely to "blow up" in Kona than to have a once-in-a-lifetime race (in my opinion)... especially with the range of possible weather conditions.
    Whatever happens, I definitely appreciate your instinct!!! :)

  12. Hey! New follower here. I followed the link in Austin's blog over.

    I love the time prediction stuff. I'd say you're really going to hit somewhere close to 11:10, but since it's already taken, I guess I'm gonna' take the 11:40 slot.

    Best of luck!!
