So, it's possible that Top 3 women will be Sutton trained athletes? Wellington, Steffen, Ellis.

Very possible. Siri Lindley's athletes will be well prepared and ready to go as well i'd have thought. Going to be a great race, can't wait!  |

hi
siri will be supa motivated , can be sure on that but ironman is like golf and some what like boxing
as golf you can play fantastic for 16 holes but the score is not there because of 2 holes.
doesnt mean they played bad .
as in boxing , you cant look at the end about winning , because each round is a new set of circumstances one has to deal with
triathlon in ironman is like that . and so i apologise if i dont get hyped up like most others but i know
its about one self , its about posting ones own numbers and not comparing , against others
the only race in ironman can happen if 2 people are head to head with 5 klm to go , and then
we know team tbb have a habit of succeeding in those encounters .
so there is no panic , as the time gets closer
we do our best , to get our best out of ourselves .
who does that best in ironman usually has a great day .
i look foreward to a couple of great results
.

Even if no TBB athletes are on the podium this year, you all were the ones who made it interesting for me to watch Hawaii and to cheer and feel with you! It's very cool to train with you guys, even the little Swiss (upda, celine, swiss boy) said it's the first time they actually are excited about Hawaii and want to watch, because they know you and wanted to cheer for you So, thank you all for an exciting race, I think everyone did their best and I'm looking forward to seeing you back in training! |

A very gutsy performace and when one races on the absolute edge to win, I think it values more than going for a safer 3rd place.
It was super impressive how the top 5 girls raced. What an advertising for female triathlon.
Respect

A Master Class from Chrissie in how to win when things aren't going well. I think I'm more impressed by that than by her world records.
Thanks to all the chicks for some great entertainment.

Being able to watch from the sidelines was absolutely amazing. And to see the look of sheer pain and determination on all the competitors faces truly puts into perspective how hard they go from the gun to wire. Impressive performances by all.

I agree , absolutely class entertainment - except the crap camera work. would have been great to see some of the passes at one point i said to James -if they are saying Xena is walking then surely Leanda must have passed her.......15 mins later and was confirmed. Maybe they were too obsessed with the speed of Rinny and endurance of Chrissie and lost concentration. Absolutely brilliant. Julie, Chrissie, Xena, Leanda, Joyce and Rinny all stepping out of their skins to chance the podium.
Glad I stayed up to watch . Can't wait to be play a part in it.
Well done Xena

Good thing Jodie has learnt to log James out before she logs on...  I agree, the coverage could do with a complete overhaul, but I suppose logistically/financially it is difficult. But you'd expect the commentators to be up to speed at least... |

It's true that speed kills - it kills all those that don't have it!

Still one week after, I can`t stop thinking about the race. Every each little moment of pain and emotions is still in my mind. I suffered got back in to the race and tryed to to my best at the moment - that's what makes me proud. I made some mistakes, some wrong decisions and I know I can do it better - that's what makes me keep going. It was a battle in the female race like not seen much before. I love it !!! |
