Gyuri (left) and Ferenc Szonyi are brothers in law. Gyuri is married to Ferenc's sister. Ferenc is doing quite well in the race.
Claire/England (left) and support crew for Neil Kapoor, Michelle Santilhano South Africa who did the Quintuple and Alan/Canada and support crew for Stephen Johnson competed in the 5k race held yesterday. They are holding cups of beer that were being handed out. What a way to finish a 5k and have beer put in your hand. Hydration!
Yves Beauchamp of Montreal Quebec Canada is the first to cut off the toes of his shoes so they don't rub his feet. There will be more of this and the heels will be cut off as well.
Roxanna/Texas (left) support crew for Eileen Steil of Georgia (right)
Typical support crew table on the side of the road - perfect height so athletes don't have to bend over and everything is right there at their reach. Fluids, food, chems, etc
The long side of the road showing multiple tables and some crews sitting out waiting on athletes
Something I want to apologize for - I really shouldn't have to apologize but the warning sign you get when you log onto the blog - I have requested twice for them to remove the blogger warning and it still has not been done. As soon as I posted the first blog on Wednesday before I came down here, I was emailed about it being a potential blogger violation of terms and that I had 20 days to request a review and removal. I did that within minutes of me posting the site. So Google has not lived up to what they are supposed to accomplish. I just requested a removal a couple days ago and still no relief.
I had Luis update his program so the Internet results page would show the split between laps. He had done this on the local screen we see, however he had not merged it in the internet one – so now you can see what the racers are doing each lap.
9:45 a.m. David Clamp is still off his feet, the doc and Sally is working on them now, his shin is looking better but he has been off it since last afternoon. He will be off it the rest of the day and if not significantly better he will head to the hospital.

9:50 a.m. Emmanuel (Manu is his nickname) has not run since before yesterday, he has a decent walking pace, you can see his left shin is taped up. So he is maintaining his position somewhat.
11:05 a.m. Suraya is on the table getting her left heel and right instep worked on. Ice at first - now they are bandaged. She just got an ice bag put on her lower back as it is hurting her. She tells me it is from the swim, it didn’t hurt during the bike but now that she is on the run, it is hurting pretty bad. The instep on her right foot is from the bike shoes.
Michael Gaertner and Antal Voneki still have good form and decent run laps. Michael is doing two or three runs laps and then a walk lap. Neill is just coming thru and has good form still.
Different people have different ways of keeping track of laps – even with the results on the flat screen TV. Stephen Johnson puts a mark on his hand with a pen to signify “another one bites the dust”. I have been teasing him about getting blood poisoning and he won’t be able to finish the race.
All the Deca IRON athletes are using running shoes; Arthur Puckrin in the Quintuple ran (or rather walked/slogged) in MBT sandals http://www.swissmasaius.com/Default.aspx?lang=en-US
Some have brought multiple pairs and switch out after a few laps (Stephen Johnson has done this). I know Guy Rossi has three pair with him. Stephen has like five pair.

Peter Leffert’s keeps going round and round trying to get his bike finished – still trooping away. He is missing the rest of the party we tell him.
1:30 p.m. The big news of the day is that the Coke people finally made it here with ice and water. We had just run out of water and the ice we didn’t have any – as it is getting quite warm this afternoon. Jorge was on the phone a few times with them – red tape stuff. But we are fine now and everyone is happy. To a point.
Mariee-Josee of Quebic City, Canada - support crew for Guy Rossi and the person who has been doing the Bowen Technique on many people.
Luis of Mexico is the support crew for Beto Villa also of Mexico
