Ironman Canada Live Update: 8

Ok so we have most of the CEOs through the first half of the marathon. Judging from the times it looks like its a tough day out there. Reports from the course indicate high wind and warm tempuratures, which are definitely not helping.

RC ran his first half in 2:46:08. I know he was hoping for a bit faster on the first half, so hopefully he isn't experiencing any serious problems. However, it seems that many of the CEOs might have gone out to hard on the bike and have the potential to blow up on the run.

Cum time through 13 miles.

Ceci(78): 8:54:15
Herkelman (79): 8:56:37
Downs (81): 9:10:28
Vandaele (85): 9:10:30
Palowitch(82): 9:23:29
Kelley (83): 9:33:04
Christofferson(80): 9:54:19
(other CEOs are not through the halfway mark yet)

RC is in a tough spot right now, but he is one tough determined athlete. I'm sure however much he is hurting he is giving it his absolute best and getting one step closer to the finish. Time to beam him some energy for the last half. LETS GO!!
