Will this be the first showdown of 2010 between defending champion morons carfrae and the currently unstoppable Julie dibens?
Not to take anything away from the other ladies (and I must confess I have not seen the start list yet) but this should be quite a match up! Pretty psyched that I will be there first hand to watch the battle unfold
Yes it will and it should be good! I don’t think Julie can run with Mirinda yet, so it will depend how far ahead she can get on the bike. My money would be on Rinny.
Might be. Not sure. Only change I have seen is it looks like Magali might have dropped out… At least she is not in the Race Guide but was originally confirmed on the site.
The women from the guide:
Kelly Williamson
Amanda Lovato
Rebeccah and Laurel Wassner
Joanna Zeiger
Marybeth Ellis
Samantha Warriner
Desiree Ficker
Florence Chreitien
Nicole Guembel
Julie Dibens
Jessica Jacobs
Miranda Carfrae
Courtnay Brown
Erin O’Hara
Natascha Badmann
Last year out of 31 registered male pros, 15 started and 12 finished, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in their list of Pros until you see their bike racked on race morning.
Well that list has been paired down a bit already. Pre-Race Guide, Angela Naeth, Yvonne Van Vlerken, Magali Tisseyre were listed as well. Magali sort of surprised me that she dropped since it is at least semi-local to Montreal. Was not surprised on the drop out race since that was Rev 3s first as well. Have not looked and seen what the rate was for Knoxville.
I was too hung up on whether there was an ‘h’ or not at the end of Rebeccah and my head was just not in the game. I suppose that is almost as bad than when I have done Chris Maccormack.
you make a great point - now she is training with Siri Lindley she might well return to her form of a few years ago in kona. will be interesting to see…
I agree. Nothing stops someone from signing up for every 70.3 and IM race at the beginning of the season and then just not show up if it does fit into their schedule.
