Start list:

anyone on that list not racing?
Should be a good battle on the mens side with Sebi & Lionel. Appo making his season debut and Reed showed good form so far this year. Thoughts?
Women's race should be good too.
Will be interesting to see Talansky in his second race. At Oceanside he had what I'd call a great swim for his first 70.3, then mediocre bike and terrible run. But afterwards his coach said that was the longest run he'd ever done and we've had people say it looked like he was just easy jogging it. So they're taking a long term view here. I have to wonder if the only reason to do that race was to see where he's at with the swim and have him run 13.1 off of a long bike. Maybe he didn't push the bike at all either and we'll see a much more competitive bike split this weekend, then maybe another easy run.
