#IMChattanooga Through 75 miles of the bike Angela Naeth is in the lead, 24 seconds ahead of Anna Cleaver.

IronmanLive host Matt Lieto has been telling me all week to keep an eye on Matt Hanson, who has a 2:41 marathon split to his name from Ironman Texas. He's sitting in that group right now, no-doubt smiling up a storm about 4 minutes behind. Matt just tweeted that this is his race to lose unless someone makes a move soon ... good call, Matt! (Although Trevor Wurtele might want to put his two-cents in - his 2:54 on the tough Ironman Canada course a few years ago shows he can run, too!)

#IMChattanooga Angela Naeth is almost finished the bike. Big 10 minute lead at last split for the Canadian over Kiwi Anna Cleaver.
-
#IMChattanooga Through 2.5 miles Limkemann in front, Wurtele @ 6, Hanson @ 6:30.
-
#IMChattanooga Angela Naeth is off the bike and heading out on to the run course.

Earlier this week Angela Naeth told us that her biggest challenge in her Ironman races so far has been with nutrition. Now she'll have another chance to test her nutrition plan out - she's a marathon run away from her first full-distance win.

#IMChattanooga Matt Hanson continues run like he's stolen something - he's in second 4:30 behind Linkemann through 4.5 miles.
-
Matt Hanson is coming off a fifth place finish at Ironman Wisconsin earlier this month. Those legs don't seem to be any worse for the wear, though. He's running 40 seconds per mile faster than Trevor Wurtele and 48 seconds faster than Eric Limkemann.
-
Angela Naeth has gone through the two mile point - she's running over a mile ahead of Anna Cleaver.
-
Anna Cleaver started the run 12 minutes behind Angela Naeth. On paper Cleaver isn't nearly as strong a runner as the Canadian, but before we completely hand the race over, we'll remember that:
1) They have a marathon to run
2) That's 26 miles on a course that has it's hardest points in the last 4 miles of each two loops.
There's still some racing to go. (That said, this is definitely Angela Naeth's race to lose right now.) -
