Hey. It's liz. Will Ryan be home tomorrow night? We'll be coming from TO and soccer. Thinking we could meet you at your place and boys could hang while we go out?

May 25, 2018 8:47:58 PM (Read by you after 19 seconds) +18053202112

I think so, yes. They could hang with him and we could go to deer lodge.

Hey Bert - awesome swim for Liz! Thanks for posting. What is estimated bike time? Excited to watch her progress today!

Jul 29, 2018 9:42:28 AM Me

Hi! Yes, great swim. She’s in 4th place right now and the people around her are going fast, but she has a plan. Estimated bike finish is around 1-2pm. The tracking on the ironman website is very good

Jul 29, 2018 9:42:33 AM (Read by them after 1 second) Me

her number is 698

If she can hold top 10 into the run, she’s in excellent position. Anythings possible!

Jul 29, 2018 12:33:15 PM +18053202112

Hi Wendy, yes I do. He’s up in Santa Barbara now 😟 a bit far to go for a haircut, but a good excuse to go the SB and do other things

Hi Wendy! They were likely drafting penalties. No drafting is allowed at all and the difference in length is up to referees who watch everything

Ah, yes they were talking about that but I didnt know. How is she doing with time against precious races? Swim & bike so far?

Swim a few mins slower, water was choppy from what others closer up were saying.

Bike looks good right now. They were both some hills she needed to get up and over, and she rode through the lava fields which are incredibly hot, and she has yet to run through them. But overall it looks good, her latest split times are faster which is good, makes me think she’s saving her legs for the run. But it is getting very hot outside

She typically does well in the heat, the X factor is the heat here it’s very humid heat not dry like oh hi, so even though it’s 90 or 95 it’s the humidity inside that number that just sucks the life force out of you
