Lake Placid roll down

I was looking through the results of Ironman Lake Placid and noticed something very strange. In the M30-34 division Kona slots rolled all the way down to 46th and 161st finisher in the division!!!! So either the recession hit the young 30s pretty hard or there are a lot of guys kicking themselves today for not going to roll down to claim their entry!

26	09:48:56	M30-34	3/210
35	09:53:43	M30-34	4/210
40	09:57:34	M30-34	6/210
250	11:08:48	M30-34	46/210
1336	13:47:25	M30-34	161/210

In my division (M35-39) it was another story ...

OVERALL PLACE	TOTAL TIME	RACE DIVISION	DIVISION PLACE
13	09:32:56	M35-39	1/312
23	09:46:29	M35-39	2/312
24	09:48:04	M35-39	3/312
31	09:51:40	M35-39	4/312
36	09:53:56	M35-39	8/312
46	09:59:20	M35-39	9/312
56	10:08:06	M35-39	10/312
58	10:08:44	M35-39	11/312

But back to the M30-34s, at CdA the slowest qualifier was 9:34:24 ... that's a completely different stratosphere from 13:47:25 or even 11:08:48. Pick your race wisely!!!
