Ironman Oscars


A (partly humorous) review of the performances of many friends and acquaintances who did Ironman Langkawi on Saturday. I've missed out celebs and pro's to give the "common man (and woman)" a shout!

Stunning Swims - Steve Lee (1:11:29) and Randy Tan (1:12:51)
Water Lovers - Ngae, Bacin, Yusran Yusoff & Eric Teo (all over 2hrs)

T1 Tornado - May Senn (under 3 mins)
T1 Trickle - Azmar (over 10 mins)
Most Places Gained in T1 - Yee Sze Mun & May Senn
Most Places lost in T1
- Stupe & Abu Soffian

Brilliant Bikers (most passes) - Yusran & Ngae
I Want To Ride My Bicycle - Omar Abdullah and Alex Au-Yong

Swift T2's - Carmen Leong & Wendy Wong (both under 3mins)
Chilled-out T2's - Iwata Takatoshi, Stupe and Steve Lee (over 25mins)

Roaring Runners - Puzi (under 4 hrs) and Carmen Leong (4h34m)
Deep Diggers - Steve Lee, Ishsal, May Senn, Dicky Z, Mohd Sofian.

Most passes during run - Carmen Leong, Eric Teo & Iwata (all more than 10 places)
Comeback Kings - Yusran & Ngae (most place gains following swim)

Nice stroke, shame about the legs - Steve Lee, Shazly Khan, Mohd Sofian

Transition Queen - Lai May Senn (under 6 mins for T1 & T2)

Queen of Langkawi - Carmen Leong

...a HUGE well done to everyone who took part, especially all the first-timers. Well done to Ah Thiam for qualifying for Kona (Carmen too?). Well done to Malaysia-based Elmar Schuberth, who was 3rd overall and would have been 2nd of not for a 5min drafting penalty. Naughty boy!

What is it with Women and fast transition.? Don't they take more time to change? I can testify to my wife changing everytime we go out for dinner ;-)

Thanks for the analysis. Behind each statistic is a story. But I'll leave it at 'just do it'. S
