The largest reason that Xiamen was slower in 2019 was the change in the swim from point to point (with a current) to a triangle. Swim times were 5-8 ins slower depending on abilities.

I think the bike was faster even though conditions were windier... we didn't have the rain we had in 2018.

The run may have been slightly slower since it was dry and sunny so much warmer than in 2018.

Any reason Xiamen was so much slower this year? 2018 35-39 4:18 was the last Kona slot and this year the top five went 4:34-4:40.

I was there with some of my athletes and was surprised with the rolling in the mens 45-49.

The Hong Kong guy that got the last spot was pretty happy.

Steve, any word on who got slots from 70.3 Taupo? Would be great to continue to see the breakdown!

I can’t believe I’m the one who started this thread & I managed to fall asleep at roll down! It had been a long couple days sorry. I woke up in the car as the last 18-24 female took her slot 🤣

Love it! I don't suppose the lovely Ms Warriner was taking notes instead of getting her own slot...

Anyone else in here happen to know where roll-downs went at 70.3 Taupo?

I know M45 had 10 slots. 2 already had one from previous races, so rolled to 12th

Sorry didn't pay attention to other age groups, but they generally only rolled if someone already had a slot

I'm just back home from doing 2019 Taupo. Great venue, great race. If anyone has questions about the race or travel from USA for next year I'd be happy to try to answer. I will say that was my first international 70.3 and I'm not sure if it was due to the Kiwis but my take away was that everyone was super FAST! I'd love to race there again next year but only if I could be teleported there and back. The 30hr travel day is just too much for this old man.

Anyone have predictions for the remaining US qualifiers?

I'm doing Gulf Coast 70.3. I ended up fourth in my AG a few years ago (M25-29, now M30-34) after a less than desirable showing. I'm confident I can mix it up at the pointy end... but what are my chances of snagging a WC spot? If it doesn't happen for me at GC, I was gunna try at Lubbock, which is one of the last chances for Taupo.

FYI there is another thread here with quite a bit of info for trip planning from both us locals and others that have been over from elsewhere. As it happens I've done both, doing the IM in 2008 as a holiday from the UK and since emigrating here in 2010.

My guess is some decent roll downs if past years are any indication. I can remember being at an early June U.S. 70.3 for CHOO 70.3 Worlds and watching them roll down 20-30 spots even in some of the most competitive male age groups.
