Is this on Outside only in NA?

Think so. a VPN is your friend if youtube is geo-blocked.

I don’t think so. This email was sent by USAT so not sure why they would promote channels, if it’s not viewable.

This is just amazing . The perfect metaphor for Ironman .

The pearly gates of triathlon . Yet a solo pursuit with no one watching . And the fork lift represents all the heavy lifting you have to do to get the job done .

I think you are right. If it was blocked on YouTube (I’m in US) I wouldn’t be able to see the live link here. Just glad I can watch on my tv now.

If it’s like Nice, you can watch the pre-race coverage there until 6 AM local time, and then you’ll get geo-blocked out to Outside.

90% sure that’s just the pregame. The actual race moves over to outside, but maybe this year is different t

My guess is that LCB and Taylor Knibb go off the front never to be seen again, not sure which I think will win. Kat chases from behind for 3rd. Unless Laura swims well I think she’ll have a disappointing result, it’ll be harder to close gaps from the swim on this course than it is at Nice with the climb.

I hope theyre wrong, but i think they’re right.

TBF, the Outside coverage has gotten better with fewer commercials. Its atleast watchable now.

I watch the TV through the Outside TV app. You should be able to download it.

Good point. Last time I searched for an outside app it wasn’t available (LG tv). Just searched and found it.

35

Samsung has SamsungTV (free) built in and outside is a Chanel, way better than app. Maybe LG has something similar.

36

Looks like a 1 year subscription is the only way to watch if you can only get Outside TV?

Or is there another way to watch?

The race is free, the rerun you need sub for outside if in us or ca

If you can, can you get a photo in the same spot as the winner crosses a before and after that would be awesome.

Laura had a terrible swim in Kona 2023 bridged the gap on her own on the bike and ran into 3rd.
