Hi Alex!

Tim & Peter working together to catch Norman on the bike. Norman will beat them to T2. Tim & Peter working together on the run will catch them. Tim will lose Peter late into the run. This could be an epic race.

1. Tim DeBoom

2. Peter Reid

3. Norman Staadler

With a 4:13 bike off of Canada, I think EULORGE MELANE is going to seriously rock Kona...

Macca's year.

I would also like to see Legh up there but it's tough for him there. How about predictions on DNF's? I'm putting 20 bucks on Lessing.. ;)

Don't think Legh's racing this year because of his heart problems. :(

1. Reid
2. DeBoom
3. Stadler

Lessing, Stadler, DeBoom, Reid in that order.....Macca's genetics will beat him again, unfortunately. WInning time prediction is 8:14......

I see a group with Stadler, Faris, Lessing, Bjorn and Leito (the guys who can swim-bike). I think the Lessing "hammer the bike in Penticton" was just training for Kona. He'll have his run legs ready for Kona. From this group, only Lessing and Faris will survive. Cam Brown will close from the run group and end on the podium.

Final prediction

1. Faris Al Sultan
2. Lessing
3. Brown
4. deBoom
5. Stadler
6. Reid

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

1. Reid 1st or 2nd (except once) since 98. Simple can't ever count Peter out. Until history shows it.

2. Faris good all round, also knows how to race kona

3.&4. DeBoom or Brown (Cam had a killer bike split an IMNZ this year) (between these two either way) also both know how to race kona.



Lessing, Macca could be suprises. But, so far have shown they can't stand the heat.
