Completed the 1/2 IM yesterday in clermont FL.

here are the results with out the splits ... it was SOOOOOOOOOO hot and the run was brutal hard. the first 7 miles were so hilly no shade it was hard. i flew off my bike on a down hill on the other side of sugar loaf, went head over handle bars into the side of the road . lucky it was grass.

i was 4th male overall.

Damn man! You need to start MTBing and learn not to go over the bars. Sliding off the rear is better. ;)

GREAT results! I wish I could have made it over there.

Hey Chris...CONGRATS! I bet that was one hot race yesterday. I thought of you all as I layed out by the pool. I was sweating too, you know :D Anyway, done that one twice, and its hotter than hell. And Sugar Loaf can be a b*&$#! But you kicked @$$! GREAT for you!!!

What did he get a penalty for, it's hard to get a drafting penalty when you never have anyone to draft off of?

Nice job, Chris!
It is curious that that guy would get himself a drafting penalty when he has the field smoked by 20 minutes. It doesn't help quite THAT much. But scrolling down, it looks like the draft marshalls handed out a lot of penalties...
Who is that girl who beat you? She must be insanely fast to get 3rd overall...

if you goggle her .... she is a pro from the Ukraine .... she has several world championship races as a pro under her belt....no doubt she is fast. i see she has races in lots of euro countries. the guy who won is the same .... a pro but from canada. and the penalty could have been from something else other than drafting i'm not sure though.
