USA men in 2, 3, and 7th place. Leading by a big margin.<br><br>
Flounder went through 100km in about 8:58.<br><br>
Lame joke I came up with:<br><br>
The Korean in 4th place is named Dong.<br>
The Russian in in 16th place is named semen.<br><br>
So right now the Dong is holding Semen.

UPDATE<br>
Usa 1, 4, 7<br>
Japan 2, 3, 18<br>
France 10, 13, 21<br>
France #3 is fading, but #4 is right with him to take over.<br><br>
Flounder is now #29. He has passed Britain #3, Japan #5, and Russia #3. He is closing on Japan #4. That doesn't mean anything in the team score. But Japan #3 and France #3 & #4 might be in reach and he could knock them down a point or two.<br><br>
Flounder is a clyde, we clydes likey the cold. At FANS he crushed the field after dark.

3pm central time was the 12hour mark.<br><br>
The Dong can't keep it up!<br><br>
McCarthy is now in 6th for the US. Dong Lee is #7.<br><br>
Great Britian #3 just passed Flounder, not a big deal. Japan #4 is about 4 minutes ahead. But not for long. Japan #3 has moved up to 16.

I was guessing on the scoring system.<br><br>

USA 449,456<br>
FRA 429,394<br>
RUS 428,141<br>
GRB 428,140<br><br>
Yes, Russia is ahead of Great Britian by 1 meter.<br><br>
Flounder is in 31st place with 139,370 meters.

<a href="http://www.americanultra.org/AUABrive10.htm" target="_blank">http://www.americanultra.org/AUABrive10.htm</a><br><br><b>First Team USA Casualty:</b> Jill Perry's revival didn't last long. Dr. Andy is concerned that she is showing signs of potential rhabdomyolisis and has temporarily pulled her from the race. She will rest and ingest for at least one hour, then they'll assess her ability to continue.<br><br><b>16 Hours down, 8 to Go</b>.... The temperature may have dropped to the mid-40's (Farenheit), but It's a Barnburner Up Front!.... Shingo Inoue of Japan continues to lead, impressively. American Scott Jurek continues to hold the runnerup spot. But after that, you might as well slam a cue ball into a triangle of billiard balls. The next dozen men's spots are a total toss-of-the-dice at this point--and along with them, the Men's team placings. American Phil McCarthy lingers just a bit at the aid station (and maybe blinks his eyes), and suddenly he's dropped from 7th to 12th place. The 5-place difference is irrelevant. It's a matter of minutes (which could be a shoe change). The one man who, on paper, belongs nowhere near any of this top-of-the-world "gunfight at the OK Corral" is American Serge Arbona. Yet he continues to defy all odds by insisting on remaining in the top 5. But right now the most impressive American man is not among these top 3. It is Michael Henze (who only a few years ago weighed over 300 pounds and couldn't run from here to the bathroom). If any of the top 3 Yanks should falter, with each passing hour Henze is quietly moving up into the top 20

Flounder has passed Klasila of Finland to move into 18th.<br><br>
Lindvai of Slovakia is only 25 seconds ahead.<br><br>
Sadly Arbona has fallen to 16, Blake of Australia is only 4 seconds ahead of him. Flounder could move into 15th and be our #2 scorer.

<div style="font-style:italic;">Team tactics are taking shape.<br><br>
Mc Carthy finished his lap 172 at the exact same time as Arbona finished his lap #180. Looks like McCarthy is working with Serge to keep his spirits up (and keep the silver medal).<br><br>
Flounder is cathcing #15 in 3 laps or less.</div>

Yes. Blake's 8 minute lead is now less than 1 minute. Italy is within 2k.<br><br>
The US women are fading. Italy is 25k ahead and challenging Australia for 3nd.
