Where did he come? Seems to have finished, he walked past om the finish line, looks like he at least finished the race.

18th is a bit of a shocker (run fit or not) hopefully he's not injured again.

brownlee was 2nd, about 30s behind kuelen. those two gapped everyone early on the run and stuck together until the very end of the run when kuelen surged on him. ali says the ankle felt great but the lungs weren't quite there.

Thats more like it! Solid result that and no injury, be nice to see him get another race in somewhere in the next few months.

Wurf was 18th and 10 mins back which is probably what you'd expect in a decent field. Alastair was 2nd in what looked like a good race, he was just outkicked in the last km of the run

Thanks for sharing the stream link.

Overall not a bad result for Brownlee. Didn't even know Wurf was racing =oP

Pretty much sums up my feeling as well. He will not be happy he hates loosing but a decent race with no injury a few months after being under the knife again is all anyone but AB could expect. If he can keep the momentum and stay injury free next year should be a cracker - but I have said that before! Stay injury free Alastair FFS!

He who understands the WHY, will understand the HOW.

Agreed - lots to love about that result! I just want to see him and Javi take a crack at Kona with a year of solid training.

Seems like another solid result - 2 in a row! Hopefully heā€™s building towards something.

Where did he race? Just seen him post that he got 3rd somewhere, he doesn't actually say where.

A link to a rave report, highlights or a starlist would be appreciated if anyone has one?

See also the Challenge Mallorca 12m draft thread for context. Skipper shared a quality reel of Brownlee towing a group along Keulen (has previous) tucked in on another's wheel.

This offers another view of Funk overtaking a 'tight' pack.

One thing that did strike me as odd from the race report was Ali not being able to break away on the bike and the chase being able to catch (even after seeing the draft fest you still expect him to break away)

Did expect to see him at IM Florida (Astle is on the start list). Maybe heā€™ll be a late entry.

His competitive nature means Iā€™d expect to see him race IM this year- possibly Western Australia again

Not content with racing two races in two weeks, he's now making it three in three and racing Challenge Vieux Boucau this weekend!

Coninx, Dreitz, Funk and Royle on the start list, don't recognise anyone else.

Just in case you see a report and want to know where this weekend's race is/was: "Excited for @challengevieuxboucau this weekendšŸ"

Lets hope he swims fast enough to avoid dragging the drafters around the bike like he did in Mallorca. At least Youri Keulen does not seem to be on the start list this week.

He who understands the WHY, will understand the HOW.

Going to be an interesting race this one, Coninx is newly crowned world ITU champion, Royle has some solid MD results, if he can get a win here that's a very decent result.

Rico Bogen: Current Ironman 70.3 World Champion
Mathis Margirier: Challenge Championship winner (Samorin)
Arthur Horseau: Ironman Lanza and Embrun winner (Sam Laidlow's training partner)

Super stacked field to be fair!

I'd completely forget about that Bogen winning the 70.3 World to be fair, thats two current world champs on the start list then, Ali Brownlee aside the Coninx Vs Bogen is interesting.

Alistair is done as a contender, but his girlfriend is racing in Kona and he's racing in a Challenge race instead of being a Sherpa. Strange relationship.


Are they really in a relationship? Iā€™ve seen absolutely nothing indicating thar they are, other than the claims people make here. I thought the dude that records her videos was her SO.


Theyā€™ve been living together for about 3 years! She refers to it a little in various podcasts and interviews - most recently a couple of months ago on The Inside Tri Show (British podcast, v good and sadly about to finish its run) where she was joking about their morning routine getting ready for swim training and who could drink their tea fasterā€¦.

He is clearly a very private person when it comes to his personal life which is probably why itā€™s not super common knowledge as they donā€™t plaster their relationship all over social media.

They got together right around the time her marriage ended. Remember she was Purbrook when she started.
