Scott and his date with Honu

"Crosswinds, headwinds, tailwinds, heat, humidity and chop were the name of the game at this year's Ironman 70.3 Hawaii."

Read Scott's race report.

Ironman 70.3 Hawaii is today! The race is already underway and I will be posting Scott's splits as they are updated. You can track all the other athletes here. Apparently, it is very windy there (it is Hawaii), but Scott is very strong on the bike. So although he may not end up with a fast time, he should post a solid bike split relative to the other competitors.

Swim: 1.2mi, 39:45, 2:05/100m (Age Grp. place 14/Overall place 407)
T1: 3:06
Bike: 56mi, 2:32:51, 21.98 mph (6/100)
T2: 2:28
Run: 13.1mi, 1:52:07, 8:33/mi (5/120)
Total: 5:10:17

It looks like Scott came out of the water about :27 behind his brother, but had a much faster transition and is already in front of him. This should be exciting as the race progresses... Scott is killing it. A great bike split for windy conditions. Holy mother... He put some serious distance between himself and his brother. About 30 minutes now, but his brother's strength is the run... Macca is already done, winning for the 3rd year in a row. He finished in 4:04:22 (S 25:26; T1 1:49; B 2:13:52; T2 1:49; R 1:21:26)!... Scott just finished with 5:10:17. Looks like he had a rough run, but he still managed 5th Age Grp. and 120 Overall. Not bad sir, not bad. Your brother is still racing, so that means you won that battle. Also, it looks like you will only need 1 or 2 roll-downs to get that Clearwater spot. My fingers are crossed...
