Ironman Canada Live Update: 4

What a race we have going on!

Through 42.5 miles on the bike and the CEOs are all within minutes of each other. RC had a solid first bike segment of 2:10:21, which is about a 19.56mph average. The back end of this bike course gets tough, and my guess is RC is smartly pacing early to build late into the ride.

Here is where the competitors are at the moment:

(cum time through 42.5 miles)

Vandaele (85): 3:20:39
Downs (81): 3:24:26
Ceci(78): 3:25:07
Christofferson(80): 3:30:12
Palowitch(82): 3:31:06
Herkelman (79): 2:31:19
Rebus(77): 3:36:21
Kelley(83): 3:34:12

So it looks like RC is riding strong in 4th about 6 minutes down from the leader. We will know more by the next check point at 80 miles..
