wrong…..how many times you race there? fast one way and slow the other every year….monty swim expert? :)

Ya, I only swam the race 15 times and another couple 100 times outside of the race. Just a fluke that almost 30 guys broke 49 flat or better on the same day. More than all the years before combined!! (-;

He always looked that way. Supossedly worked on position this year. I guess he went back to what works.

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

Depends on how much work Rinny does to catch the front. Ryf is hard to beat when she is off the front.

Oh you know it is coming. He just needs to swim faster.

Yeah, this one time a few years ago there were 25ish together and the leader only went 50:51 or so. Must have been a slow year that year, or maybe just a slow leader. :)

But yeah, 26th place out of the swim in 49:04, and most of those guys were at least 2 minutes faster than a few years ago...

On an average day, how much faster is Rinny's run over Ryf's? Anyone have a rough idea?

I did not realize that a weak swim = bike mechanical?

Weiss just blew by Kienle on his Andean....

Edit to clarify...Weiss, on his Andean, just blew by Kienle.

Ryf looks so good on her FELT! so natural looking and fast.

Hard to say. Two years ago I think Ryf was up 14 mins at t2 and rinny won, but ryf definitely improved alot since then. Last year rinny dnf ofc.

His GPS is not updating last update 15 minutes ago so it has him near the back of the race going backwards.

DAM IT ! I would've been one of the first

ETA got an error message. Oh well back to race

From doping to mechanical doping as there is more than enough room in that frame for a motor

exactly….was tongue in cheek response. Appreciate its hard to weed through the troll, Pubes, etc type posters. I know your background and was surprised to see your comment on record swim with you having swum there so many times….as have I not quite as many but enough to know.
I like the fact they still can't beat the ole day records….I'm 45 so not a dinosaur but….kinda am

It just updated. he's closing the gap to the 2nd group.

all these really aero frames....and then they stick their heads up like periscopes

I just wonder if we'll actually find out if the swim is 'accurate' now, or if maybe it was 'just' time to get a sub-8 Kona win...

Am I mistaken in thinking Kienle is wearing an aero road helmet?

Ya, he is. Certainly a change from previous years.
