Daniela Ryf at Ironman Texas; How well will she do?
Quote | Reply
 

Looking at the pro start list:

http://www.ironman.com/...start%20list%201.pdf


I can see her finishing top five overall, maybe top three?

What do you think?

.

Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

He said overall.

Not sure about top 3 or 5 but it's quite possible she gets a top 10 overall assuming nothing goes awry with her race. The other women have no chance if Daniela races without some major issue... and there's no jellyfish in Lake Woodlands.

She will blow the doors off the women's field, but agree she isn't finishing top 5 overall including the men. If you look at what she did at frankfurt last year-- it was stunning-- I think she would have been 7th overall there. I don't see that kind of result happening at IMTX.

At TX:

> She gives up time to a good chunk of the men's field on the swim
> A large pack of male bikers have the benefit of a group ride on a flat, fast course that will collectively outpace her solo TT effort
> The winning men will run 2:3X, and ~10 more will run mid 250s or below; I don't see her running much better than that.

Somewhere between 4th and 7th. If she got to race heads up with the Men, I'd say 3rd-5th....or she'd blowup. But we won't get to see that. Would be cool though!

As one of those "other women" I am excited at the chance to race Daniella outside Kona. There aren't many opportunities to do that. I was undecided about racing IMTX as I already have a Kona slot, but when I heard she was racing it made the decision for me.

To become better you have to race better people.

She can name her margin of victory over the other women.

The OP said "overall".. I believe that was to ask where she would place among the men.

I wish she could start with the dudes

She will come. She will dominate. She will beat some male pros. She will stand on the top step of the podium and collect the biggest check. She will then move on and repeat the same at her next race. When she shows up, everyone else is racing for 2nd place... She is in a league of her own, comparable to few others in individual sport.
