I guess it depends on what you are acclimated to. For me no but I can see how it could be.

Kurt Madden will podium for m60-64.

Then gets ran down and loses as usual.

And he pushes someone on the bike too. As usual.

I heard the bike course is like 5 miles short this year or something. He's 100% going sub 4.

Isn’t it the same course as last year? I don’t recall it being all that short.

They were talking about it on the triathlon preview show podcast and said that one of the turnarounds this year was in a different spot for some reason and it was short. I don't know where they got that info from though.

 

Last year my gps had the bike at 110 miles.

Yep, and they were saying it's even shorter this year. We shall see.

Do we have pro list yet?

It was short last year (110) and it is probably shorter this year. I say probably because someone did an analysis using google maps to show it is shorter. I have no idea how they would know where thenUturns are in the hardy. Are they “locked” in so to speak?

McMahon, Hansen, starky for the podium

Not sure about the women’s race, though I am quite certain Lauren Brandon will be leading for a very long time!

I think one of the first turn around while still in The Woodlands is shorter, so people saying it will be shorter. But I've heard the route to the toll road is slightly different so it may be made up there and people are just jumping to conclusions.

They had to have known people overwhelmingly said the course was a bit short last year. Why would they make it even shorter.

Men:

1. McMahon
2. Skipper
3. Hansen

Women:

1. Hauschildt
2. Vesterby
3. Jodie Robertson

So Starky can go sub 4!

bike course distance will be anywhere from 108 miles to 110 miles is the guess. They change the U turn on Woodlands Pkwy, and they can only move the turn on the hardy tool road so much before it ends.


Check out my predictions on the podcast.

Fwiw, Skipper isn't in the race. I'll go with the a *wild* card

1. Ruedi Wild
2. Matt Hanson
3. Will Clarke

1. Kessler
2. Robertson
3. Vesterby

My bad, I saw him on the start list. I feel like Skipper is overlooked a lot, but he's still pretty young and has a long time to be a prominent name.
