Ironman Canada Live Update: 2

Update from the swim.

It looks like some solid swim times were put up with the leaders breaking 46 minutes!

In the CEO division this is turning into quite the race. The leader came out in 1:08 and then a group of about 5 athlete came in around the 1:15-17 mark. RC had a very solid swim of 1:16:24, which put him in a good position to hunt some people down on the bike.

Here is what is looks like for the CEOs heading onto the bike:

Name(Bib#): Swim Time/ T1 cum time

Downs (81): 1:08:34/3:28 1:12:02
Vandaele (85): 1:11:20/2:56 1:14:16
Rebus(77): 1:15:37/3:01 1:18:38
Christofferson(80): 1:16:24/3:27 1:19:51
Herkelman (79): 1:15:45/4:32 1:20:17
Palowitch(82): 1:14:17/6:10 1:20:27
Ceci(78): 1:16:03/5:22 1:21:25
Kelley(83): 1:19:45/5:38 1:25:23

The first bike check comes at 40 miles. My guess is that RC will have steadily moved up the rankings by then and will be putting time into his competitors. More later....
