Isn't it wild? We're discussing next year and spoke about Frodo, Lange, Sanders, McNamee, Cody, and Matt Russell. And nobody even mentioned Javi Gomez and Ali Brownlee.

Shameless plug, but I chatted with Frodo's coach in an interview and there is no reason to suspect his hip injury is related to deterioration. Rather some impact injuries from crashing

I mean is this really a hot take? There's pretty much always an injury. Also, can assure you Jan is as motivated as ever to be on the line next year

Brownlee is pretty much an unknown at that distance, but it would be foolish to count out Gomez. He's had his year of learning what the race is about.

I never saw much commentary around Javier's performance. I know it was his first go, but given it was a day made for runners, I can't help but feel a bit surprised. He said he overbiked and paid for it on the run. I wonder what he would have had to bike to run better.

Braden and he were only separated by seconds on the bike, and in Kona Braden had him by 2 min on the bike and ran faster. Granted Braden was in the faster group, and I'm probably extrapolating too much but can't help myself

I'm sure we will lose at least one of those big names to an injury (just the nature of the beast) but holy crap that many big names at the start line next year gives me half a chubby.

He gets caught having multiple affairs, gets a divorce, develops a drug addiction, gains 40 pounds, and then the only thing we see from him in the media is him dressed terribly and unshaven rippin ciggies.

Are we talking about Frodo or are you predicting a Lionel relapse......

oh hell - I would be game for either of those two people having such an epic tiger woods fall out!

OR something like Frodo getting caught with Ryf or something crazy. Slowtwitch minds would be blown

Speaking of crosstraining... See that jump on Instagram today?

Does he have a xterra or xgames crown already? 👑

That looks a bit much for someone recovering from stress fracture but it is his life. AFAIK, Frodo does not have any Xterra titles. Gomez is the one with Xterra WC but you prob knew that already. :)
