This is the last week to make your picks - Natasha in in town. She will be triaing at the NTC for two weeks. I have seen her win Kona 4 times, but have never watched her at a 1/2 distance race. In Kona she always road to a lead about 1/2 way through the 112 and then extended her lead into the bike/run tranistion. Will be interesting to see how she does at this distance. Good luck with your picks. Z

I go with Grogan to win his AG, unless John Reback is racing, then I see Reback first and Grogan third.

Monk - the Grogan/Reback battle could turn into a heated contest of race number alteration/time penalties and disqualifications. Let's hope they both have race belts and only wear the run numbers on the run. Z

Gary you and I have the same picks. You need to pick Badman's time as a tie breaker incase we are both right.

Anyone know why the pros get a shorter transition run relative to the ag-ers. Not a big deal since I will not be finishing until they have showered, took a siesta and had a few pints with Mickey, but was just curious.

Peace,

Davidd - you won the hat!!! - I could not find a good Mickey hat, so I had them sign a Florida 1/2 Ironman Hat. 5 people picked Simon and Natasha and your time of 4:22 was 1:17 off the mark. E-mail me your address and put it into the mail! Z
