Will wait to see what both have to say about it
shaper Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Whilst will be watching the Pro's and hoping the SAFA's perform, will also be following one of my club members Dot Hunt at 65 years of age!! Finished in 15:59. Incredible achievement !! Edited October 13, 2019 by shaper Chris_ 1

shaper Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Power meter count at Kona https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/10/kona-bike-count-2019-power-meter-analysis-10-years-of-data.html 66% of the field using a PM
Chris_ Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 That ladies race was crazy! I kept waiting on Ryf to make a come-back but such is life - stomach bugs seemed to be flavour of the day all round. Haug what a mental run! I'm really happy for her. Frodo, what can you say, he's just something very special. Really happy Seb cracked the podium, its not the step I wanted but no-one could touch the big man. I still need to check through the results for our other saffers and finishers, but it seemed like a tough old race. (Well done Shapers Dot!)

(Well done Shapers Dot!)Was a great race and good to see Anne Haug make the top step. Felt for Lucy leading for so long only to be 2nd again. JF is a machine, and great result to come back after injury. Lionel seems to be going backwards, so he will probably look to try something new for next year... will always watch his endeavors with interest. Comment from Dot on our club whatsapp group "Thanks so much it was the hardest race ever. The heat here is something else but the experiences of the race will stay with me forever" lurkerza, Wil6 and Chris_ 3
IceCreamMan Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) One day I would love to go to Kona, to participate preferably but that's unlikely so to spectate. I was watching on my ipad till the wee hours of the morning. Goosebump stuff. Guy I know has qualified the last couple of years but has DNF'd on each occasion on the run with many many hours still to go. I would crawl if that's what it took to get that medal. To Dot, awesomely well done..we live vicariously through your tenacity and resolve. YOu are a champion. Edited October 14, 2019 by IceCreamMan lurkerza, shaper, Wil6 and 2 others 5
