If it wasn’t for the world champs, I don’t think a lot of AGs would race this. Non-wetsuit swim, bike ride out and back on a highway, high heat and humid run, and doesn’t even look that scenic.
Kona it’s only a name that bring lot of money – try BlackLake in Montenegro if you wanna try a hard race.
What do you think is the biggest challenge on the course? Let us know!
“At no other point during the Hawaii Ironman does this column of athletes resemble as much of a death march” – hahahah brilliant!
Great video again guys so much quality info brought to us AG athletes. Keep up the fantastic work
Nice job on pronunciations guys, and those are some killer glasses!
Great video, especially for those who have not seen, been involved in triathlon before. Great info. Missed the link to get the GTN smart T
OK _ what kind of glasses are you both wearing??
