Following along on Aug 30th

Ironman Canada is on August 30th this year.  The race takes place each year in the beautiful Okanagan region of British Columbia.

As such, for those in Ontario, note that there is a 3 hour time difference.  The race starts at 7am PST…so that’s 10am for friends and family in Ontario.  The official race ends at midnight – 17 hours later.

On race day, if you want to follow the live results, you can go to :

    www.ironman.com

“Athlete Tracker” is the link where you can search for us by last name or by bib/race number.

Mark – # 1221             Tammy – # 2633

There will be two Ironman races that day…one in Louisville, Kentucky and the other in Penticton, BC.  Both will likely have live results offered, so make sure you click on the appropriate link for Ironman Canada on August 30th.

If for some reason you don’t see a time noted at any point throughout the day, don’t worry about it.  It could be something as simple as the computer chip that we’re wearing around our ankle has not been detected at one of the check-points (timing mats).

You guys are amazing and believe me, I know, spectating (whether on-line or in person) can be exhausting!!  Make sure you fuel properly – my suggestion is cold beer on the patio with the laptop and a wireless connection!  Keep a cold one on ice for the finish…and don’t stay up past your bedtime, otherwise you may have to switch to mamosas as an early breakfast beverage.
