IceCreamMan Posted September 25, 2019 Share I have not kept up with the latest in the sport save for what I read in 220 magazine. Usual suspects I reckon will be in the mix. Frodeno, Lange. would like to see a new face on the top tier though. Will be watching. Hope Brownlee pulls a rabbit. Lucy Charles for the ladies.... ke nako for a change there too.

ScottCM Posted September 25, 2019 Share Really hope Lucy can take the womens title this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted September 25, 2019 Share Agree with ICM on the men's side, the Germans are still the most dominant force in the field at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted September 25, 2019 Share Would also like to see Lucy take it, but Ryf is in a league of her own at times.... so unless a bike mechanical, she will likley take it again. Think the men's is a bit more open! When the start lists coming out? DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottCM Posted September 25, 2019 Share Personally I'm interested to see how Sanders does after returning from his Stress Fracture recently. Still don't think its wise of him to do a 70.3 6days before Kona, but that's just his style i suppose. Troi Sport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted September 25, 2019 Share Kienle ran into some really good form the other day, I'm desperate for him to crack the top step again. Troi Sport and DJuice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted September 25, 2019 Share Not-so-dark-horse: Anne Haug. Remember that storming run she had last year. IF she's sorted out her bike, it could be an EPIC run between her and Ryf, both easy sub 3 marathoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey_Jones Posted September 25, 2019 Share Im thinking upsets for the Men, Cam Wurf making some good progress on his run and his bike is just incredible. Woman, Lucy is my favorite but still think she needs another few years hard work to catch Angry Bird. Luckily she still has time on her side.

Think the lesser amount of racing he has done this year compared to last, will definitely play in his favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looks like all the top running shoes will have the carbon insert. 4% old news, is now the Next% Edited September 25, 2019 by shaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted September 25, 2019 Share From Instagram post going to run in new NB, probably carbon plate shoe to compete with the Nike 4% Vapor Fly. Very cool, just googled that, I see they have some shorter race shoes with the plate - FuelCell 5280. Never seen them before. But it looks like a track spike for the road. Maybe he'll pull out a longer version for Kona. (?) I saw the Hoka carbons the other day. Still feel very Hoka like - light, big, VERY stiff, the new Nikes look in a class of their own though.
