Not too much else to say with just a couple days left. So I wanted to extend a "challenge" back to you: can you predict my finish time? Statistical analysis, pure guesses, whatever your method, take a stab at it and the person who comes the closest wins A PRIZE!
Here's a summarized view of my training for the prior two seasons and this year:
2007: 14:37:51
[13 wks: Swim 36,950 yards. Bike 638 miles. Run 114 miles.]
2008: 13:54:07
[22 wks: Swim 26,280 yards. Bike 1,038 miles. Run 147 miles.]
2009: hh:mm:ss !?
[30 wks: Swim 50,000 yards. Bike 3,316 miles. Run 555 miles.]
You can post your prediction (in hh:mm:ss format) as a comment here (make sure to include your name), or send me a private email, or a message on fb. Please do this by 7pm CST on Friday (tomorrow!). (Yes, Panama City Beach, FL is in the Central Time Zone in the US.) Any predictions I receive by that time, I'll re-post in a list Friday night prior to the race.
Good luck, Nilesh!

Bike 1 hour 0 min(112 mph seems about right)
