Race number - tracking during the race

Well the good folks with the Florida Ironman have posted the race numbers. My race number is #1204. I like the look of the number. It is not too low and not too high. It is right in the middle. There are about 2800 people registered for the race. I am hoping to finish in the top 50% of all the finishers.

Unlike most triathlons, Ironman races have a mass start. So there will be a couple thousand people entering the water all at one time. This is the part of the race that concerns me the most. I have been kicked in the face in a race before and I don't want to have that happen again.

For those of you that my be interested I have been told that you can track an athlete during the race. You would need to go to this link and then enter my race number #1204 and you can keep track of me on race day. http://ironman.com/events/ironman/florida/?show=results.


I am hoping to finish the race first an foremost. But if I had to put a time goal it would 15 hours. The race cutoff is 17 hours. The gun goes off at 7am so by 10pm I will hopefully be finished.
I am hoping for a swim time of 1:45 for the 2.4 miles(2:20 cutoff), no more than 8 hours on the 112 mile bike, and that would leave me 5 hours (7 hour cutoff) to finish the 26.2 mile run. it will make for long day, but i can't wait for Saturday November 7th to get here.
