IRONMAN - catch me if you can

I propose a challenge to all the want-to-be hero's out there to beat my time.
In April 2000, weighing in at a very lean and ripped 53kg's I pulled off the race of my life. Even though I had 2 flats and a 7minute wait for the spares vehicle, I still recorded a time that will not be challenged by a fellow Quoner this year.
I swum 55:49, Rode 5:18:58, and brought it home to the tears of joy from my family with a 3:31:01 marathon. My overall finish time was 9:45:48, and will smash the Quon chumps that will be racing in 2009.
In fact - I will be as bold to say that no Quon member will finish the Australian Ironman in 2009. If we are talking odds, a Team Quon DNF would be a short priced $2.

Nathan Spillane - who has never DNF'd at Ironman

Bigdog,
Your run time (6:13) was only 47 seconds faster than your bike.
That is pathetic!
Your overall time of 13:34:23 was more embarrassing than a DNF.
But keep talking it up if it makes you feel more important.

BBB still holds the fastest Ironman run time of all of us.
3:09! and I will put a hungie on that no-one will better it next weekend.

You are all little boys compared to me, who holds the quickest time by a QUONer? ME

Thomo will wipe 3.09 into oblivion.

No mate - Bill Bennett is the quickest IRONMAN; 8:56
The time you did at Austria was not an registered Ironman, the ride was 10km short and you have been kidding yourself for the last 11 years. I have been convinced of this.
Get off red tube; stop stretching and start training.
This is the only way you can elevate you from the 5th greatest quon ironman triathlete ever.

Hey dickheads - Br Tandoori has the fastest IM of a QUONNER ever. 4:09:44 will NEVER be beat!

My predictions after todays race are as follows;

Thompson.S 8:34. Baby J will become the fastest QUONer over the Ironman distance, and stand on the stage as a top 10 finisher at the the meltdown - a feat only seen by Mr Smith a thousand years ago.

Fellows.C 9:20. The Ironmanman gods will be kind for 80% of the race with overcast and mild conditions. In the heat of the day, all sub 9 aspirations will be crushed. A top 3 age group performance non the less, and another trip to the big island for redemption.

Pye.J 9:32 A conservative swim and bike - with no cheating penalties incurred, a full tank of juice and a dream to obtain, the marathon will be SOOO EASY. A strong run on a tough day will give Brook her Hawaiian holiday.

Almighty.B - Too much rooting in the early hours on Sunday morning will hurt the big fella. However, his image will be seen in every Tri magazine reporting on the race, the forth leg will feature on red tube, and IMG will pick him up as their next big thing, and he will be asked to strip down by Karen Pinni at the bar in the early morning. As for his race time - it doesn't really matter.

Radnell.S Port 2010. He will be inspired, and we will all recieve text messages from the pub on Sunday afternoon, with some loose link to the band?

Spillane.N Never permitted to borrow the parents Winnabago again. EVER

Hicks.T Arrested, and will spend a night under the supervision of the states finest.

Terracini.Z Legend. He has never DNF'd an Ironman, and will drink from dawn on Friday till Sunday supper to keep his reputation in place

Smith.P -censored due to the ethics of the code of the road,
