Wow... Sally really kicked butt in the swim portion. She turned in 1:31:32, although I don't know if this includes a 10:58 T1. She turned in 56:45 in Magog for half the distance (including T1). I guess the buoyancy of the wetsuit also had a more positive effect than the unfamiliarity of not training regularly in one.

This gives her almost 9 hours to make the bike cut-off. If she did not come out of the swim exhausted, she should make that without too much trouble. She turned in 3:36:04 in Magog on the half, so if she's managing her energy well and eating/drinking well, she should be around 8:00-8:15 for the bike portion.

GOOOOOOOOOOOO SALLY!

Because the tracking system does not seem to give splits on the bike part, we may not get any updates until late afternoon (Pacific time) or early evening (east coast time).

7:20 cycle... on the the run... Just a marathon to go Sally! Is it too early to make predictions?

Impressive showing that silly girl...

This is exciting, I've watched the race coverage all day long, and as the first women were arriving at the finish line, our own Silly Sally was ready to go for her marathon, getting closer to her medal. Way to go!!!

Yessss!!! She did the half.in 2:51:35. Now less than a half to go!!!

Sally: Congratulations on the completion of your first Ironman. Get some well deserved rest and looking forward to see you.
