You got to be joking right?? If you pay for something that then is not in stock but was advertised then you would expect a full refund at the very least. Its not fair it is minimum requirement in my opinion.
Ok here are some of my thoughts....... Crowie and Jacobs.... they where injured beforehand, couldn't train as well and I think they knew they didn't really have a good chance... hence they went out hard on the bike mainly for 2 reasons... 1. They hoped to break the field apart giving them a better option to do well later on and 2. to get airtime for their sponsors and themselves and I assume they got that. In a way its sad as when the ESPN documentary will be aired in a few months time they will get plenty of attention but a guy like Cunnama will probably get none........ Last year Vanhoenacker got 70% of the air time whilst Tissink (who ended top 10 again) had zero airtime once again. In Kona the strong and lean runners normally win. Van Lierde probably could have ran even harder. But when you lead you rather preserve and win the race instead of risking blowing up going for records... Next year I think Kienle and Cunnama will be the guys to beat. What an incredible swim by James!!! He used to start 3 - 5 minutes back in the past after the swim... Maybe Andy Potts pulling out (and the good conditions) helped him as the pace was not that fast.
Swiss on 4 as well Travis on 3 ADe on 3 Ostrich on 2 Wheelsuck on 2 Andy on 2 Royhan on 1 JGR on 2 Ironman GP on 3 Gadget on 1 Sluiper on 1 Shebeen on 2 Monkey on 2 Svan on 0 Dracs on 3
Ok results are 1. Frederik Van Lierde (BEL) 00:51:02, 4:25:37, 2:51:18, 8:12:29 2. Luke McKenzie (AUS) 00:51:17, 4:22:27, 2:57:20, 8:15:19 3. Sebastian Kienle (GER) 00:54:13, 4:22:35, 2:58:38, 8:19:24 4. James Cunnama (RSA) 00:51:13, 4:34:22, 2:52:39, 8:21:46 5. Tim O'Donnell (USA) 00:51:04, 4:35:39, 2:51:07, 8:22:25 So I end on 2 + 1 + 1 = 4
No idea. Sub 3 would be nice. Plan is to take the first hill rustig and then hook it from there on inwards.... On flat roads I can average 33km riding alone.. So if I can average 35km in a bunch 3 hours could be on the cards... (with my deep sections of course ) All of the above however is dependant on the weather and how many beers consumed the Saturday evening...
We should have a competition. Who ever chooses the most right in terms of the top 5 wins something.... now we need a sponsor... Can someone sponsor a hamper or something please??? Here is how it will work. For every name you choose you get one point. However if you choose the person in a correct position as well then you get a bonus point.... So if you choose the correct winner then you get 2 points. So you can end on 10 points maximum You will not be allowed to edit your post for obvious reasons... Here is a link to help you choose http://www.slowtwitch.com/Opinion/2013_Kona_Men_s_Favorites_3937.html My top 5:- 1. Frederik van Lierde 2. Sebastian Kienle 3. Pete Jacobs 4. Timo Bracht 5. James Cunnama
Red top, White helmet. Black and orange Venge bike. I will wear neon yellow or orange socks. If it is cold I might wear long pants which will then hide the socks. White sun protectors on my arms. Will wear a Go Pro camera as I need to film my friends demise.... Deep section wheels (or at least the rear wheel) Oh and I got this new red light on the back of my bike. When it flashes it looks like a formula 1 car in the rain. You cannot miss me trust me.
Don't worry... Once I get over that hill I will catch up!! Or maybe do a TDF TT trick Ride the first portion with my light bike and light wheels and have someone hand me my iron bike with the disc wheel on top!!!
