Last Pro Race at IMFL? Who's in?

IMFL is 9ish days from now. The bib list is up, but I don't see any MPRO or FPRO's listed. Besides myself, who are the rockstars racing? Will Rinney be there again? I think I heard Lionel and The Actual Starky were possibly going to square off (if he doesn't boycott it). Iron Prince?

Haven't looked into it but from this forum I've heard that Sanders will be racing. Otherwise no idea.

Doesn't Rinny use this race to validate her slot to Kona?

I just repeated that to myself and it sounded ridiculous. Anyways.

is that why Starky took a shot at Sanders on the real starky podcast this morning?? because Lionel has been working his ass off and could potentially win this thing and Starky is threatened?

Cool. I knew there was a PDF out there somewhere with the pros listed... How/Where did you find it? I couldn't find it on the website...

What did he say? I very much doubt Sanders has done anything to Starky personally so that is very likely.

Oh, that must be why I saw somebody mention he might have an advantage through now allegedly no longer feeling pain. Sounds like BS to me. IMO if Sanders doesn't kill himself and takes his foot off the gas a bit leading into the race now then he should win with at least a 5 minute gap to Starky.

Yes, it is.

Let's see how Hoffman is doing now.

He lumped him right in there with Colom and another ex pro cyclist doper who is racing triathlon now as an example of guys still benefiting from drug use.

What an ass...Maybe Starky should stop racing for a year or two and just do meth so he can back up some of his big talk

How do you know current Ironman pro triathletes aren't benefiting from prior drug use? Or even current? Truth is, these guys could be doped to the gills, and no one would ever find out.

Put me in the camp that suspects a lot of them do. That has zero to do with comparing LS to other dopers though.

I smoked pot in the 70s in high school and college, maybe that's why I'm so fast.

Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.

How would you prefer Guerra and Colom referred to, given they were the examples in starky's unfortunate comparison. Former dopers?

Your syntax suggests you are saying LS is also a doper.

Good point. My bad then. That's exactly what I was arguing against.

Interesting. I was a starky fan. That might be changing. Sanders has an interesting path, but I am 100% sure that the abuse he put his body under is not benefiting him physiologically now.

Very ignorant statement calling out a very nice young man about a past he can't change, but is more than making up for now. Dude puts in a lot more effort to improve our sport at the grass roots than starky ever has.

No idea how past drug use could ever improve your performance. If you have ever read any of Lionel's blogs, he has done the work plus some. Looking at his training and times, watts etc. I believe he will destroy the Florida course.
