Kona Ironman 2018 Predictions

Its a couple of days to go and we haven't even started 'speculating. So here goes, let's list your top 3 and reasons why.

 

Here goes: 

 

Men: 

 

1. Patrick Lange; He is an uber runner and that's where it is always won on the Big Island

 

2. Seb Kienle: German triathlete stock and he is always lurking around the Podium

 

3. Tim Don: Sentimental favourite-and he has the grit.

 

Women:

 

1. Anne Haug: Same reason as Lange, this little thing can toe it-she will run down Ryf this time

 

2. Lucy Charles: Maybe to early for the 25-year-old but she has the form call it a hunch but I think she will feature strongly on the day. 

 

3. Daniela Ryf: She has everything going for her and so has many athletes that lined up and the day just didn't go their way. This might be her bad race for the season and not wishing it on her but what I think. Just hope it livens things up-but if she fires I think the course record will go.  

 

Also I think James Cunnama has been very quiet and hope he gets a Top 10.

I really want Seb to take first (I don't think he will though),

2. Lange

3. Sanders

 

still not sure if Gomez is up to the full distance, but when he does get there, he'll crush this race

 

Ryf by an hour,

2. Charles

3. (left field bet) really really want Carfrae to crush life and make it back to the podium

Sanders mentioned he was scared by Jan's run at 70.3 champs so I think with all the nutrition and bike changes he is a bit unsettled.

 

What about Frodeno?

You reckon Gomez can make the step up so quickly Shaper? He suffered in PE and dont think he is ready yet......BUT you never know when it comes to class and he has oodles.
