Top 10 – Up’s:
1. Chris Lieto’s well deserved 2nd place after some brave bike riding. I have to admit that prior to Saturdays race I was not really a Lieto fan. Maybe due to his response to the initial and then reversed rule change of compression socks. But I respect athletes that are not afraid to go hard on the bike and who take chances. Respect.
2. Rasmus Henning’s 5th place just 17 days after he broke his hand. Ironman...
3. Chris McCormack’s 4th place. He really showed some serious heart on the run and showed that even though you are a former World Champion every place counts at Hawaii.
4. My dinner plate of 4 steaks, 1 kilo of French fries and 500ml of béarnaise sauce. Go on my son…
5. Bent Andersen’s win in Age Group 45-49 in 9:11 and 45th Overall. Wow.
6. Craig Alexander’s win. Amazing talent. Should be first here but was almost too expected.
7. The half of chocolate tarte with berries for dessert…
8. Andy Potts’ finishing run in 2:52 which gave him a 9th place.
9. Dirk Bockel from Luxembourg finished 7th in his debut.
10. Mirinda Carfrae’s run in 2:56
Top 10 – Down’s:
1. Where was my training the day after Hawaii… Tough night just to watch the race. I am still bloody beat.
2. Andy Potts’ bike split in 4:46.
3. The lack of candy on the table at 2am…
4. Eneke Llanos’s 14th place. Ran in 3:05. Not up to his standard.
5. Did Philip Graves went too hard on the bike… Finished the run in 3:37. But great stuff just to finish. Will do him good in the future.
6. Cameron Brown’s 22nd place. Dissapointing. Was expecting more.
7. Why am I watching this on the Internet… Could do with a race soon…
8. Charlotte Kolters had to withdraw because of blisters… Better luck at the 70.3 Worlds.
9. The 19 minute time difference between Chrissie Wellington and runner-up.
10. Jimmy Johnsen withdrew due to a mechanical on the bike which caused him to dehydrate… Better luck at the 70.3 Worlds. He will be doing IM Western Australia early December - not the 70.3 Worlds (changed 21/10/09)
