Just missed 3rd!!!! Like 10 seconds. Wow great race he gave everything! Let's hope it was enough

He lost 2 min to 3rd place in T1. Bummer. I hope the roll down is kind to him.

Great race execution!
We are assuming 2 slots?
Anyone know anything about #1 and #2? Do they already have slots? Do they usually do Kona?
Sounds like #3 already has his slot...

I think the guy he's chasing already KQ'd at Arizona last fall. That might mean he's already got it!


Yeah, the guy who came in 3rd today was 1st in AG in Arizona.

That might bode well for at least one roll down.

then hopefully 3rd already has a Kona slot & WX is a little closer.

I can't find anything on 1st and 2nd in terms of other races. It looks like 2nd KQ'd at IMTX in 2012, but didn't race it IMTX or Kona last year. First place is a bit of a mystery with the "Professional Triathlete" as his job description.

Kind of unusual for athletes of this caliber
Guess we will have to wait and see.

There is a lot of stuff on 2nd on Athlinks, but no other races for this year (or late last) that would indicate a KQ. The 1st place guy is a bit of an anomaly. He has raced IMTX before (took 3rd last year) but really nothing on him using my GoogleFu. Only thing I could find was his Twitter which indicates he races for/with Elite AG QT2

Just looked back an an old thread for IM Texas 2012...

There were 3 slots for Kona in 25-29 for that race!

Odds just went up in my mind!!

Nice race and awesome first IM, WX! I was the third place, but a fellow poster is correct, I got a a KQ at IMAZ, let him know in the finishing shoot and he seemed relieved. I hope there are three slots or a nice roll down.

You know this site is addictive when:) Congrats to both of you on fantastic races! I REALLY hope he qualifies. Not too many people can put up a thread like this and take both the good and bad comments, and keep the dream alive till race day.

Good luck!

Just got home from dinner and had to check. 4th place. And right on the time he targeted on the OP. Sure hope someone in front of him already has a slot.

I'd say Herbert should do a Random AGer interview, but we probably already know more about WX than we need to. Including all the relationship advice :)

Nice race today... I'll admit, I was really hoping he would run you down because it would have made for epic ST lore. That being said, congrats on your AZ Win and KQ, I'm really hoping we get to see a rematch of this race in Kona come October.

Both 1st and 2nd are QT2 teammates. I don't have any inside info on if they are taking their Kona slots, but would be surprised if they did not...

FWIW, Coach Cox predicted 3 Kona slots for M25-29 in his breakdown of the participant list last week. If the starters for the race hold up, there could be a rolldown for him!

Looks like 23 spots have at least 1 AG

So if it is a 50 spot race that leaves 27 without any older AG roll down (some of them have only 1 athlete)

Assuming there are 2052 finishers then that is one spot for every 76 competitors.

Meaning that with 152 athletes in 25-29 (starters) he has a chance at 3 spots in his AG. We still don't know the DNF or start rate etc.

Of course my math might be totally wrong and biased towards the OP.

Hope he gets it!!!

My money says he's going to get it. And WX and this thread will go down as one of the greatest stories in ST history. And I'm totally serious.
