I'd love to know if he trains with lactate testing like the Norwegians and Lionel Sanders, who don't seem to be able to a session without stabbing themselves in the ear. It didn't seem to help their performances today.
Not having the woman and men race on the same day is just stupid. It's said to give woman their own spotlight. Which I find ridiculous. None of the men have ever complained about having their own race. The whole preparation for clubs, for families, even the event itself, financially, and the atmosphere are messed up for some superficial reason. Triathlon is a family endeavour.
Men & Women same day. 👊 No reason not to do that. 5000 qualifiers and where they go is the issue. The pier can only accommodate 2500 at most T1 is fixed at that-so keep it at that.
You miss the women, very nice ❤, maybe one day for Ironman WM in Kona next year??? That is the realy Ironman of Hawaii and the time where you make the WM one year with women and the next year with men its not the same!!! And you Rock it Patrick this year ❤
IM hasn’t been on YT all year (except for the fixed finisher camera). It will be live on Outside and if you can’t watch live you have to have Outside plus.
@@zikaperic2133 I have ridden at 27mph behind a former age group champion in the aero position within 1 or 2 feet on a training ride. At that distance and speed he was pushing 30-40 watts more than I was. At 12 m and with the super aero positions currently in use perhaps a few watts can be had.
He pulled it off!

He did!!! 💚👍
Bob called it… 3 times ironman world champion Patrick Lange!
men/women one day in kona. Less quantity more quality - thats the spirit 👌
The pro women should be the same location in kona but with less entries though
Agreed! Less freebee entries for " personalites". They can do the other Ironman races at other venues. Hawaii for the best ( qualified).

amazig interview. Patrick seems to be very relaxed and fucused. Wish him to have a great week and awesome race in Kona 👍
My favorite triathlete of all time. And yes, women and men together again! In Kona! Every year!
This interview is amazing. Patrick is aging well in every sense. 🙌🏼 Lovely! I keep my fingers crossed for him to win once again. Or Lionel. 🤣
He will win here. For sure hands down!!
Not this year
Blu
Magnes
Laidlow
Depends where he is at the start of the run. But he definitely has a chance.
You called it!
You were right @ironman140.6
Patricks looks confident! lets hope he has a great one!
One of the greats at what is probably his last Kona.
Podium: Ditlev, Laidlow, Lange - thank you Bob, you are a star!
Love it! Thanks Bob!
Patrick, du bist der Beste

Viel Erfolg! Rock it
Marathon times are gonna come down very soon. There is still space for a sub 2h20 its gonna happen.
No that was not close you rock it with 8 min biggest gap since 2019
Will IMWC be on YT? Or FB? or only paid streaming?
Nah, they’ll air it for free.
Not sure about YB or FB though.
Yeah usually outsidetv and youtube

@@lizzobeach5179 I think inside the USA it’s not on YT. But outside USA races have been free on YT.
yes the Nice adaptation is a terrible evolution of the world championships
Bob sdnt look at watch
He has to because the next athlete might be waiting for his interview. They do them pretty close together.
@@christopherdoyle4129 we disaagare
obviously not fair running with 3 legs
Toupo Nz
i like lange a lot, the game has changed. if he is not within 5min tops in t2, he wont be on top of the podium. he ll be top 5.
This is not aging well
Hasn't ever won without a domestique like Dreitz pulling him on the bike.
Who did he draft today?
12m rule is a joke. You save 30-40w+ at 45km/h.
