Early stuff:

They're off! IMOO 2015 is underway. We know you're as pants-peeingly excited as we are.

Scrolling through this morning's swim splits, here are the phase #1 times of some of the Minnesotans. In the afternoon, we will add the bike splits. We've missed a lot of folks, here. Use the COMMENT section below to add the names and times of those we've overlooked.

UPDATE: It's now 1:26 PM and we are starting to see some bike splits. Too bad Ironman isn't blogging about the race.

Gotta admit that the random way data is posted on ironman.com, plus the absence of an ongoing blog pisses us off! Spending 10 minutes ro research data that probably isn't correct anyway is getting old. Go Minnesotans! We wish we could have done you justice journalistically today.

We'll post finish times and places as they become available.
