If drafting didn’t exist at 2019 Ironman Kona, who would you pick as the winner? This means absolutely no drafting in the swim, bike, and run and it was a total individual effort from start to finish.
I’d have Cam Wurf ftw.
I think Jan, at a tough course such as Kona, would only win with a big lead out of the swim and bike. 2019 - It almost seemed sacrificial with Amberger in the swim and Clavel on the bike for Jan. I’m not saying Amberger did that for Jan on purpose - he was going for the best swim/camera/sponsorship time but it did seem Clavel was basically a domestique out there taking lead and keeping Jan separated from Wurf and Lionel.
