Faceplanted trail running in Cascade mountains. Trail was not much more than a goat path. A tough hike. My dumbass had no business running it. If you are guessing I ran fine up and faceplanted on the way down you'd be right.

Questionable decisions like that are what keep therapists like me in business. Hope each of you have a speedy recovery.

Are they not going to show an interview with the winner?

Great! We managed to miss the winners interview!

I think they did the interview but cameras were elsewhere at that moment.

They also code ITU athletes as “runners” or “swimmers”. I’m fine with that, they are competing businesses.

“You are experiencing the criminal coverup of a foreign backed fascist hostile takeover of a mafia shakedown of an authoritarian religious slow motion coup. Persuade people to vote for Democracy.”

Here's the interview finally.
But they didnt show any of the finishers after 3rd cross the finishline.

Great day for Dan Plews and the Endure IQ team. Chelsea's coach.

Can anyone guess why Sodaro and LCB both turned their hats backwards in the finishing straight? Can only guess it was to show a sponsors logo![/quote]
Often it’s remove the glasses and spin the hat backwards so your face and emotions can be seen as you finish

I didn’t know who Chelsea was but after watching that interview I’m a huge fan.
As a dad of young kids it just hit me when she talked.
Kristen, Iden and Lionel etc have no idea.

What this woman just did inspired me.

Has a mom ever won Kona? I thought the commentators would've said something, but didn't mention it.

They said she’s the 2nd after Natascha Badmann

A parochial post ... Sarah Crowley was outside the top 10 until just before halfway on the run, worked her way up to seventh, passing Ryf in the last kilometre or so.

Her pre-race comment ...

"I'm a bit of a bulldog when I race. I'm greedy. I will be there."

And so she was.

"Find a way, not an excuse". Goony, Kona, 2009

Well said. I agree completely. Seemed so genuinely shocked to be there in that position. Amazing performance.

Any word from Ryf? She never looked comfortable on the run. Assuming just not her day.

Is it just me, or has the coverage stopped?

It's not just you.

Anybody know if there's a live finish line camera somewhere?

I can't find it, but I'd like to watch the AGers finish.

I just found it via the Facebook IronmanNow page, but someone has turned the camera around & we are currently looking at a man sitting doing nothing. Seriously.

Never mind, I think it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QsyyIVU71Y

(I don't know what the camera is focusing on right now)

She got that dawg in her

Thanks, I missed that. I remember them mentioning Natascha Badmann a few times and wondered why as I was making dinner. I was glued into the screen the last mile or so and just wondered why the announcers didn't say much about it, or bring it up again for that matter.

Natasha won all six titles as a mom. Actually her whole career as a triathlete was as a mom as she had her daughter at something like 17 years of age.

I am just catching up and saw that there were a few bike penalties given…

Any commentary?

Still thinking about how much I enjoyed the split-race format. Stating the obvious, but all post-Kona content is highlighting the women and Chelsea’s amazing accomplishment. Even 36 hours of not having to compete for bandwidth with results and postmortem analysis from the men’s race is so meaningful, and honestly much more fun to digest as a fan of the sport. My attention feels so much less fragmented. Probably better for sponsors too. Looking forward to the men’s race!

I thought she was purple patch with matt dixon. Did she change?
