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
(any earlier time... don't even think about it!)

Great idea. Congrats on going to Kona. I'd take a lottery ticket any day :-)
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 11:25:00
This is awesome... and you are my hero haha
ReplyDeletemy guess is 11:00:00
Good Luck and I will definetly be tracking your progress!!
10;10... I'm going ball-sy ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, you've certainly been the most ballsy so far!!
ReplyDeleteI get a feeling you'll be hoping for some reeaally good Kona weather this year :)
10 hours. I'm confident in you ! We'll be pulling for you but have a great time !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support, Rob!!! I really appreciate everything!
ReplyDeleteBtw, you're crazy with your 10hrs!! ;)
well given my choices are 11:30 or 9:55...I'm definitely going 9:55!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHm...I'll have to go with what's left and say 11:30!! :)
ReplyDeleteI got in on this too late...I'll take 11:35 since it's left over. Good luck man - enjoy the whole experience.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you at least got a time in Austin!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, you've been following since my double Iron plans... thanks for the support!!!
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.
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happens, I definitely appreciate your instinct!!! :)
Hey! New follower here. I followed the link in Austin's blog over.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
