He said in Monterrey that his primary focus in on 70.3WC as opposed to Kona. As Jan showed last year, you certainly do well at both. But I think Tim will do Kona of 70.3 focused training rather than doing WC in Austria off Kona-focused training.

Obviously, there's a ton of crossover, but Tim seemed to indicate that he wasn't looking "through" 70.3WC with an eye towards Kona but rather the opposite (perhaps more akin to Kienle in 2012 & 2013).

Regardless, one of the most impressive starts to a racing season I can remember. He has been flawless, both literally and figuratively, in his execution.

I'm a big fan of 'The Don' not only as a racer but it would seem he has one hell of a personality. To put it in his own words he's racing "mighty dirty" this year so far. I hope to see him continue to do well this year!

Thanks for that Jordan. I really had no idea that the WC was in Austria that course could be very good for Tim. However, the last time I watched him race in that part of the world (2003 World Duathlon) he was broken by a very strong Benny Van Steelant before the bike even started. Perhaps Joerie will qualify and race well as he dominates these hilly duathlon courses.
