Hi,
I've been searching but didn't find anything yet. I'd like to know if there is a way to know, before a race, who has already took a Kona spot from a previous race? Does WTC have a public list/database?
Thank you very much!
No they do not. Your best chance is to get to know those who are at the top of your age-group and stalk them on social media. Just don't deflate the competitors tires in transition like...
plus 1 to this. i recently backed my way into the 70.3 WC. i say backed in becauseI was 15th I my age group and top 4 got a slot. the five hours waiting for the roll dorm ceremony was not fun thinking about how i sucked and missed my goals. but one guy had qualified already and none of the six Aussies in front of me wanted to go thst far to Chattanooga. then my age group for one more spot. that still left me on the outside but i somehow got the last spot. the point is no amount is pre race analytics would have helped, just better training.
now, im scared as i might be the slowest person in my AG who qualified :)
