My media player solved itself - it seemed like they were playing Billy Idol all thru the swim.

Good bye productivity. Didn't want to get anything done anyway this afternoon anyway.

Great heads up. BTW, I found that if I set my computer output to only output on the left side, you can hear the announcing.

First male out of the water in 45:02. That's sick. That's over 3mph in water. And there goes my day. Not that I wanted to do anything on Friday after a BBQ lunch.

So 325 hours a year of training and a 13hr finish gets you into the 16th percentile at Ironman Germany? Dude, wait, what?

Hehe...my cpu doesn't have speakers and I have no headphones...it's not nearly as engrossing without sound....Just a lot of the transition area.

Yet I continue to watch

jsk, I wouldn't worry if I were you. The sound's pretty terrible. All you can hear is the crappy music, and one lady screaming really loud, and if you listen really close, you can hear the announcer.

Oh, and here's a link.

Click on LIVE VIDEO and you should be good to go.

The annoying part is that the sound is in stereo, but the music is on the right side, and the announcer is on the right, but right now, there's music on both. It just happens to be completely different music. It's kind of ridiculous.

Update:

Left ear = "Rock the Cradle of Love" by Billy Idol
Right ear = "Invincible" by Ok Go

An interesting mix

Neither does my cpu, but I just attach mine to the audio output port on the motherboard and it seems to work ok < / computer nerd nitpick >

I hear decent play-by-play, but a random, static shot of the bike course. I guess having motorcycles follow the lead bikes is asking a bit much, but it would sweet if they took a page from the TdF. Play-by-play is good though. Any idea who they are? I hear an American and an Aussie or Kiwi? I think it is wintere there. Looks like gray, cool weather.
