Excellent preview. I still feel that even though you mentioned it everyone is underestimating the impact of 80km, no drafting and in the aero position for the ITU gang. Not just physical but mental and how much will it take out if their run speeds. Seems most of the Ironman competitors are writing themselves off except for Sanders so in my view he’s the only one of them with a chance of hitting the podium. (If you consider Brownlee as an ITU’er)
@@brettbale9535 Lionel did probably the best he could - the swim crippled him. No other long distance man got anywhere near the podium though. Lionel should take note of that.
Who ya got?!?!?
Great preview - so pumped for this race!

Big time! Lionel is the one can that wouldn't surprise me for sure. Guy is a mental machine!! Enjoy the race.

@@kevingregory-evans2904 Matt Hanson finished 2nd! Lionel was impressive to claw his way back for sure. Dude is an animal!
my 3 for each Allie or Sanders or Vicent and for the women Finley or Holly L or Heather J
TV coverage will be good from all the cams they had, from what I was told
