«EINE ABARTIGE LEISTUNG, UNVORSTELLBAR»Unfassbar, unglaublich – die Ironman WM in Nizza vom 14.9. 2025 hat uns von den Sitzen gerissen. Der komplette Erfolg des norwegischen Hypetrains mit dem Sieger Casper Stornes, dem Zweiten Gustav Iden und dem Dritten Kristian Blummenfelt hat uns aber zum Glück nicht sprachlos gemacht. «Eine abartige Leistung, das ist unvorstellbar», so das Fazit von Kurt Müller, dem Coach vor Ort auf der Promenade des Anglais in Nizza.  Kurt Müller berichtet von spannenden Details, zum Beispiel wie locker Blummenfelt sein Rad in die Wechselzone schiebt und wie die Norweger bei aller Freundschaft im Rennen zu gnadenlosen Konkurrenten mutieren.Es war eine WM mit tausend Geschichten, mit Neuentdeckungen, Materialschlachten und einer Standortbestimmung der Schweizer Langdistanzler. Der Schwimm-Rekord ging an Andrea Salvisberg und damit auf ein Schweizer Konto. Und der Manager des neuen Weltmeisters kommt mit Ronnie Schildknecht auch aus der Schweiz. …___________⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mehr über Kurt Müller: https://www.kmsportcoaching.ch/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ___________⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TriStory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠https://tristory.news.blog/_________________TriStory ist auf ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠und ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_________________Kontakt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tristory@gmx.ch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_________________Die finanzielle Unterstützung von TriStory ist gerne möglich.

In this episode from race week in Nice, France, host Matt Lieto sits down with three of the biggest names in triathlon ahead of the IRONMAN World Championship: Daniel Bækkegård, Kristian Blummenfelt, and Gustav Iden.First, Daniel Bækkegård shares his journey through a challenging few years marked by injuries, including two torn discs in his back that led to inconsistent training. He discusses the positive impact of his new coach, Philip Seipp, and Seipp's holistic approach that focuses on the entire ecosystem of an athlete's life. Bækkegård also contrasts the high-pressure "spotlight" of Kona with the more relaxed, "laid back" atmosphere of Nice, where the city itself helps athletes stay more centered.Next, Kristian Blummenfelt details his meticulous preparation, having spent months training on the Nice course to familiarize himself with its unique demands5. He breaks down the bike course, describing it as having "a little bit of everything," from steep and long climbs to technical descents where comfort and nutrition are key. Blummenfelt analyzes the race dynamics, anticipating aggressive tactics from competitors like Sam Laidlow, but remains confident in his ability to stay collected, even after a poor swim, and leverage his run.Finally, Gustav Iden opens up about the significant shift in his career since his 2019 victory in Nice. He speaks candidly about the mental struggle of going from a multi-year winning streak to a period of disappointing results, which challenged his identity as a "winner". Now, with renewed confidence fueled by strong training sessions, Iden states he has a "great chance of winning this race" and believes a sub-2:30 marathon is possible on Sunday.

In this episode of IRONMAN Insider presented by Maurten, host Matt Lieto sits down with Olympic gold medalist and IRONMAN World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt for a wide-ranging conversation fresh off his dominant win at Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas. Kristian reflects on a rocky start to the season, the strategy behind his standout run, and how he's dialing in both his training and nutrition to chase top points in the IRONMAN Pro Series. He explains why his fueling strategy, powered by Maurten, has become a key differentiator in his performance.We also catch up with Ben Vriends, Global Education Manager at Maurten, to dig into the science behind their hydrogel technology and how it's revolutionizing endurance fueling. From training the gut to pushing the limits of carb absorption, Ben shares how today's top athletes are redefining what's possible in long-course racing.Whether you're a fan of the sport or working to level up your own fueling game, this episode delivers high-level insights from both sides of the performance equation.

Que começo de ano vive Lionel Sanders: dos dois 70.3 que ele largou este ano, ele venceu e bateu nomes como Blummenfelt, Iden, Ditlev e Sam Long. Será que ele deveria focar nessa distância? Falamos também sobre os outros resultados da semana, sobre Vittoria Lopes e sobre a vinda de Daniela Ryf para o Ironman Brasil. Confira o episódio!

I denne podkastepisoden deler triatleten Kristian Blummenfelt åpent om livet som toppidrettsutøver, med fokus på kosthold, treningsrutiner, mentale utfordringer og reisen fra OL-gull til verdensmestertittel i Ironman. Han forteller hvordan han tilpasser matinntak etter treningsmengde, betydningen av varmetrening og høydeopphold, og hvordan han jobber med søvn og døgnrytme for å prestere best mulig i ulike tidssoner. Episoden gir også innsikt i hvordan han samarbeider med sponsorer, produserer innhold til sosiale medier og etter hvert tok mer eierskap til sin egen treningshverdag etter en skuffende sesong. Gjennom refleksjoner om både suksess og motgang viser han hvor mye arbeid og dedikasjon som kreves for å holde seg i verdenstoppen over tid. Hosted on Acast.

Un programa tan especial como largo como merece la ocasión. Un fin de semana en el que Antonio Benito hizo mirar por el retrovisor a todo un campeón del mundo en Texas, Casillas debutó en IRONMAN 70.3 por la puerta grande y tuvimos a una española Maria Varo, en lo más alto del campeonato de Europa de Duatlón. Dale al Play, que arrancamos

Kristian Blummenfelt, Alex Yee, Kat Matthews, Hayden Wilde: de grote namen deden dit weekend weer van zich spreken. We hebben het ook even over stayeren: worden penalty's niet veel te selectief uitgedeeld? En dan de vraag: is Taylor Knibb wel gebouwd voor de lange afstand of kan ze zich beter richten op de halve afstand?

One of the great sports science & triathlon coaching minds is back on The Triathlon Hour. We talk about a lot of training topics including intensity control and how crucial it is to being your best, how important is volume in training and can doing less with more intensity/recovery be better for your training or are you better off to focus on trying to do more, peak human performance, what is Zone 2 training and how do the Norwegian's use it in their training and then we hit some quick fire questions about long running/riding, should you use super shoes in your training and should VO2 max training be a part of everyone's programs.

I veckans avsnitt går vi igenom studien: Training volume and total energy expenditure of an Olympic and Ironman world champion: approaching the upper limits of human capabilities Studien handlar om att undersöka träningsvolymen och den totala energiförbrukningen hos Kristian Blummenfelt, en elitidrottare som både är olympisk mästare (Tokyo 2020) och världsmästare i Ironman (2021). Forskarnas mål är att förstå de övre gränserna för mänsklig kapacitet inom uthållighetsidrott genom att analysera data från en av världens mest framstående triatleter. Blummenfelts träningsdata samlades in över en längre period och inkluderade detaljerade mätningar av träningsintensitet, volym och energiförbrukning. Studien visade att han kunde upprätthålla extremt höga nivåer av energiförbrukning och träningsvolym under långa perioder, vilket är ovanligt även bland andra elitidrottare. Forskarna analyserade också hur hans fysiologiska system anpassade sig för att möta de höga krav som ställs vid triathlontävlingar på världsnivå. Resultaten ger viktiga insikter om hur träningsupplägg och energiförvaltning påverkar prestationsförmågan hos toppidrottare. Studien bidrar till en bättre förståelse för de fysiologiska gränserna hos människan och vad som krävs för att prestera på absolut högsta nivå i uthållighetsidrotter.  Mer poddar och artiklar hittar du på Prestera Mera   Värdar  Tommy Ivarsson, Fil.mag Biomedicin (M.Sc.)–Specialisering mot mänsklig prestation. tommy@umara.se   Simon Gustavsson, Fil.kand Biomedicin (B.Sc.)–Specialisering mot områdena kost och träning. simon@umara.se

Kristian Blummenfelt is an Olympic champion, sub-7-hour Ironman record holder, and master practitioner of the Norwegian Method—a revolutionary, science-driven approach to endurance training.

What a race from Patrick Lange. Today, we look at how KONA unfolded and why, after all these years, it still comes down to the run . . . and maybe the swim? It's incredible to think that Lange may have strategically pulled back on the bike with a 4:06, but it definitely makes you want to look at the little things and how important they are in racing. Speed kills in shorter racing, but at the Ironman distance, mistakes can pile up. Making good decisions in your race (and training) often trumps technology, but it's all so tempting. Today, we get into many aspects of Ironman training and racing with a food for thought discussion.  Topics: Execution for the win The incredible Patrick Lange Ditlev's grit Blummenfelt's struggles The amazing Cam Wurf (and Matt Hanson) Rudy von Berg, Sam Laidlow The swim course record The most underrated triathlete All the new methods, but . . .  Mistakes take you out of the race Mental games Was a good chunk of the field over-raced? Pro triathlete's schedules  Do some of us do too much? The temptation of the tech short cut One hit wonders, golf clubs, the Boston Red Sox and more    Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

Hungarian athlete Márk Dévay, a former World Aquathlon champion, was also up there, as was WTCS leader heading into today, Vasco Vilaca.   By the end of the swim, things where more of the same at the front, with Dévay keeping things honest as he lead out of the water, with Riddle, Schoeman, Coninx, Vilaca and a number of others close by. Most importantly, Alex Yee and Hayden Wilde, two of the pre-race favourites, were just +0:15 down out of the water and in perfect position.   Further back, Olympic champion Kristian Blummenfelt was just over half a minute behind at the back of the second group, with compatriot Gustav Iden ten seconds further back at +0:47 and Richard Murray of the Netherlands the last out of the water a minute down after Spaniard Mario Mola withdrew.   Bike – Blummenfelt left stranded Out of transition, there was a mad scramble to make the front pack, as two dozen athletes, including Wilde, made it into the front pack, with the second group featuring the likes of Blummenfelt. The chase pack, sensing danger, worked hard over the first lap to close the gap, but was unable to, with the gap then quickly blowing out.   After three laps, the gap was well over half a minute, with Wilde drilling the pace at the front of the lead group, as the chase group struggled to make back any time despite featuring the firepower of the likes of Blummenfelt and Swiss Simon Westermann, who on multiple occasions tried to drag the chasers along.   By halfway, the gap was up to +0:50 with the front pack showing no signs of slowing, as Belgian Martin Van Riel, returning from a long period out with injury, returned to the front of a WTCS bike pack for the first time in close to a year.   Off the bike, the gap back to Blummenfelt and the rest of the chase pack was +1:15, with the front pack, thanks to the hard work of the likes of Van Riel and Wilde, enjoying a comfortable buffer coming into transition.   WTCS Cagliari 2023 Results Saturday May 27 2023 – ELITE MEN 1.5km / 38k / 10k   1.

Lasse Lührs (GER) – 1:38:04   WTCS Cagliari 2022 results: Classy win for Georgia Taylor-Brown By Helen Gorman 8 Oct 2022 Georgia Taylor-Brown added another WTCS win in Cagliari on Saturday to extend her lead in the 2022 Series.   Taylor Knibb had the extra factor on the bike, which dictated the outcome of the race in Sardinia, Italy.   Taylor-Brown benefited from Knibb's hard work and then used her superior run strength to secure her third WTCS win of the season and extended her lead in the overall Series.   Knibb was rewarded with bronze as Beth Potter and Cassandre Beaugrand found themselves on the wrong side of the beak and too far back to factor in the medal positions.   Georgia Taylor-Brown WTCS Cagliari 2022 Photo Credit: World Triathlon Swim – Lopes leads the way The beach run into the water split athletes up immediately. Beaugrand ran, dived and swam away from the rest in the choppy sea before Maya Kingma and Vittoria Lopes took over, particularly on the second lap.   Lopes was first to hit the timing mat after 1500m in 19:39 while Summer Rappaport, Beaugrand, Kingma and Sophie Coldwell and just about everybody else except Taylor Knibb, were bunched up with her. Potter and Taylor-Brown were 9th and 10th out, but there was really nothing separating them as they all burst into transition.   Bike – All aboard the Knibb train The short transition was executed cleanly and quickly by everyone and a huge bunch left transition. The pace looked to be on from the start, but Knibb overcame a 30-second deficit from the swim and caught them by the third of 10 laps.   She hit the front, blew the pack apart on the fourth lap and it was a rare moment that she wasn't on the front for the rest of the cycle leg. The British trio of Taylor-Brown, Coldwell and Waugh rode in the front group of 11 athletes, but Potter and Beaugrand were dropped.   By the time the leaders hit T2, the group had put 1 min 44 seconds into the chase group, which contained Potter and Beaugrand.   Advertisements Run – GTB takes control The group of 11 leaders were separated by no more than a second coming into transition, but it wasn't long before Taylor-Brown hit the front along with Knibb and Emma Lombardi.   By the third of four laps, Taylor-Brown hit the front and stayed there to cross the line in front to claim another excellent victory in 2022.   She said: “I just tried to run my own race and tried to stay in contact with that bike group. Taylor made it really hard but it worked in our favour because we got a really good gap.   “I forgot how hard she rides, but it's good, she really gets the group going and we're all trying to hang on to her wheel.   “I started speaking to the girls on the first two laps (of the run), ‘lets work together because this could be the podium.'”   On extending her Series lead over Flora Duffy, who wasn't there today, she said: “It's all going to come down to Abu Dhabi now.”   Lombardi was delighted to win silver, her first ever WTCS medal, she said: “I'm really enjoying racing against the best in the world, it's fantastic.”   Beaugrand ran up to eighth place and moved in to third position overall in the Series. Potter finished 10th, which moves her down one place to fourth in the Series.   WTCS Cagliari 2022 Results Saturday October 8 2022 – ELITE WOMEN 1.5km / 38k / 10k   1.

They're what's made triathlon and it's just a privilege to go up against Jan, Ali, Kristian. They literally made the sport for us guys. I'm quite emotional about it.   Haug flies home for women's victory Anne Haug surged clear in the women's race with just 12 out of the 26 men's starters clocking a faster run leg than the German two-time Olympian.   Lucy Charles-Barclay had a lead of over a minute and a half as she transitioned off the bike, but Haug took over less than midway through the run and gave her British rival a respectful tap on the side as she went past.   When Australia's Ashleigh Gentle - another two-time Olympian - moved ahead of Charles-Barclay into second place, she was over a minute down on Haug who was fairly powering on at the front.   The 2019 Ironman world champion won by a two and a half minutes in the end, crossing the line in 3:38:00.   Haug invoked the spirit of Forrest Gump in her post-race interview, saying, "I compete against the best of the world and that really pushes me to get the best out of me.   "I had a fantastic race, I must say. My swim was OK, I felt very strong on the bike, and I knew I could run pretty quick but you never know. It's the first race of the year against the best in the world, you never know where you are, it's always a box of chocolates. I tried my best and you always have to believe that you can make it."   The next PTO Tour triathlon is the US Open in Milwaukee on 4-5 August. Same weekend as AG Nationals.   Results from PTO European Open, Ibiza, Spain - 6 May 2023: Men's race: Max Neumann (AUS) 3:13:46 Kristian Blummenfelt (NOR) +27" Magnus Ditlev (DEN) +1'50" Jan Frodeno (GER) +2'16" Jason West (USA) +2'19" Alistair Brownlee (GBR) +3'17"   Women's race: Anne Haug (GER) 3:38:00 Ashleigh Gentle (AUS) +2'30" Lucy Charles-Barclay (GBR) +2'56" Emma Pallant-Browne (GBR) +4'19" Paula Findlay (CAN) +5'34" Tamara Jewett (CAN) +5'51"   On Related News - PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETES ORGANISATION AND USA TRIATHLON ANNOUNCE MILWAUKEE WILL HOST THE 2023 PTO US OPEN   U.S. ELITE TRIATHLETES, ELITE PARATRIATHLETES TO RACE AT WORLD TRIATHLON SERIES YOKOHAMA By USA Triathlon | May 11, 2023   COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. —The World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) race in Yokohama is the second of the 2023 season, which includes seven events, plus the Paris 2024 Test Event in August, all leading to the World Triathlon Championship Finals in September in Pontevedra, Spain.   For elite paratriathletes, the World Triathlon Para Series (WTPS) race in Yokohama is the second of four stops on the Para Series before September's Championship Finals in Pontevedra.   This season marks an important year of competition as athletes will be vying for crucial Olympic and Paralympic qualifying points ahead of next year's Paris 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Games.   HOW TO WATCH Fans can stream World Triathlon events live or on-demand on TriathlonLIVE.tv.   Coverage of the elite para races begins at 5:50 p.m. ET/2:50 p.m. PT, Friday, May 12 (6:50 a.m. Saturday, May 13 Yokohama local time).   The elite women race coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, Friday, May 12 (10 a.m. Saturday, May 13 Yokohama local time).   The elite men follow at midnight ET/9 p.m. PT, Friday, May 12 (1 p.m. Saturday, May 13 Yokohama local time).    WTCS Yokohama Five U.S. elite triathletes make up the women's roster in Yokohama, led by Taylor Spivey (Redondo Beach, Calif.), ranked No. 3 in the 2023 World Triathlon Championship Rankings.   A consistent performer, Spivey earned the bronze in the 2023 WTCS season-opener in March in Abu Dhabi.

“In a world championship everyone is in their best shape, but they're also trying to maximise your weaknesses.” In June 2022 Norway's Kristian Blummenfelt crushed a full iron-distance triathlon in under seven hours. No one on the planet has ever completed the gruelling swim, bike and run event quicker. During his appearance on Mind Set Win we uncover how developing and maintaining an open mindset has helped the former Ironman world champion dominate his sport. In the episode hosted by Kate Courtney it's also revealed what we can all learn from Kristian's mental flexibility and how he's able to respond and adjust in the face of both success and failure. Kate offers an exercise based around setting flexible goals which allow for more than one outcome, and explains how it's a tool that can be applicable in all areas of our lives.For more, check out www.redbull.com/mindsetwinGet in touch with us @katecourtney & @kristianblu

The race strategy & tactics at the front of the race in Kona... His power numbers during the bike leg and why he thought he'd gone too hard too soon... Why he plans to exit the water with a several minute lead at the next World Champs... The innovations and equipment decisions that helped him to his Kona result... The importance of building a personal brand as a professional athlete and why it's not all about race results... Why he'd prefer people to hate him than be indifferent about him...

As a follow-up to our podcast on the evolution of the professional triathlon, this episode focuses on the tip of the performance spear with a spotlight on two athletes who have taken the sport to new heights. Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt, also known as The Norwegian Train. With stand-out Olympic and Ironman performances in recent years, the two athletes paved the way to a stellar showing at the 2022 Hawaii Ironman World Championships and a record-breaking win for Iden. The pair recently appeared on the Rich Roll podcast to shed light on their approach and offered a glimpse into their training method, which is well known for its grounding in science and technology, spearheaded by their coach, Olav Aleksander Bu. In this episode of the purple patch podcast, Ironman Master Coach, Matt Dixon takes the insights gleaned from the interview with Iden and Blummenfelt and examines what you can learn from the principles, approach, and success of the seemingly unstoppable Norwegian Train. Matt discusses: Context and Perspective: The differences between elite professionals and the time-starved amateur. (12:48) "It's sort of a monastic life...it's not the game that the vast majority of us are playing." (20:27) "While the pros have a very pure speed and performance challenge, us as amateurs face an optimization challenge in both training, planning, and where to apply focus so that we can ultimately move our performance needle." Traits and Approaches: Traits and principles that make up the training approach of elite professionals. (25:22) "When you listen to Kristian, and Gustav, what comes through for me is a series of traits and approaches, all wrapped up in the team setup that are very, very common across almost any high-performing team and individual. And this could be tailored and positioned to sports, to business, to broader life." Actionable Takeaways: Key lessons you can draw from the interview to apply to your training approach and performance journey. (40:48) "What should you apply right now, from all of these insights? You can't just change everything, but what are the components that you should do? Should you go and grab a lactate meter? Should you recruit your partner to help you with the application of the core temperature monitor? If you've listened to the episode and interview you'll understand what I mean by that. Should you hire a personal physiologist? Should you scrap the family holiday so that you can spend it all on data analytics? No, at least not before you do these things that I'm going to break through."

There are professionals. There are Olympians. But rare is the athlete who is so entirely and utterly devoted to sport in mind, body, and soul, that they exceed titles all together.Today I am lucky to host two of these extraordinary individuals: Norsemen Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt.In an unprecedented period of just 9 months, Kristian was crowned Olympic champion in Tokyo and bagged the fastest Ironman performance ever in his debut. After winning the 2021 70.3 World Champion title, this year Gustav had a spectacular 2022 debut victory at the Ironman World Championships in Kona—a race in which Kristian placed 3rd—emerging from Kristian's formidable shadow and smashing the overall Kona course record with a blistering 7:40:24. On top of that, he rewrote the marathon course record with a 2:36;15 26.2. Racing in tandem until the very end, Gustav and Kristian gave mindboggling, paradigm-crushing performances at the 2022 Ironman World Championship this year. It was an unforgettable barnburner of a race, and today we dive deep into the metrics and mechanics of that epic day.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:ROKA: roka.comUCAN: ucan.co/roll Navitas: navitasorganics.com/richrollWhoop: WHOOP.com Final Note: If you dig this conversation, look out for my upcoming podcast with their coach (and mad genius) Olav Aleksander Bu, which will be released in the not-so-distant future.The Norwegian Train is in the house.

Today we recap the Ironman World Championship and look at racing strategy, the coverage, and what lessons we can learn as age groupers from an unbelievable race. We look at Iden and Blummenfelt and what their real training secret likely is. We talk about the big swim pack, drafting on the bike, and what all that did to set up the run. We talk about the shift in qualification standards, the move to make things seem easier, and fast shoes. Our belief that “once you get too hot, it's over” played out again as did “you don't have to catch them, they'll come back to you.” Lots of interesting topics to go over from KONA, but we also bring it back to the amateur level and ask important questions about your dreams of getting faster, including, “Are your buddies slowing you down?”  Topics:  KONA is a special place, but should the race rotate locations? The 2 Day format . . . good or bad? Breaking down the broadcast  Advertising overload? The quest to make everything possible  A mother wins  Easier and easier to qualify - does it lose its luster? The big swim pack in the men's race  The bike and drafting  Shower, dry off, 5k  Penalties  The swim game has changed  Not as much separation  Iden and Blummenfelt worked together the whole race  Laidlow upset the apple cart  Iden's Hat Bike fits  Fast Hoes Once you get too hot, it's over Iden and Blummenfelt's REAL secret sauce  You don't have to catch them, they'll come back to you Are your buddies slowing you down?

The smart money is on Blummenfelt, Iden, and Ryf, but who do we think has a chance to knock them off? We give our predictions, plus get into Kona racing strategy, including why the swim is so important, how athletes position themselves on the bike, and why it really all boils down the the run. We talk about the legend of the Island, local perspective, and respect for the land, along with why experience is so important. Some athletes are always in the news, but it's the ones you don't really hear about much that understand what it takes to be a World Champion. Will that matter or will Blummenfelt and Iden run away with it? Will Ryf show her dominance from start to finish? Will Patrick Lange re-emerge? Is Lionel ready? While there are favorites, this is one of the more spread out fields in a while.  Topics: 2 Day Event - Is it sustainable? Local perspective on hosting World Championships Spirituality of the Island Kona is a Runner's Race  Drafting vs. Working with the group Why pros work so hard on this swim Women's Race Picks Men's Race Picks Favorites and Sleepers and why Below are some of the Pros we talk about.
