Outside Onlines Aileen Torres will be covering the big day, but before then, shell be posting about competitors and all other things Ironman. You can check out her accompanying blog, Hawaii Adventure, for tips on what to do and where to stay if youre planning to visit. Brad Culp, editor of Triathlete magazine, has just touched down at Kona, and he took some time out to let us know his top five picks on both the mens and womens sides for this years race.
Heres the lowdown:MENCraig Alexander (Australia): Crowie is simply the most fit athlete on Earth. He trains harder than anyone else, and if his body is one, he wont be beat. Eneko Llanos (Spain): Llanos led the race through 17 miles last year, and if he learned anything from that, hell lead this years race even longer. His new riding position swiss replica watches should serve him very well on Saturday. Chris McCormack (Australia): Macca is the toughest athlete in the mix, and if hes right there in the final few miles, hell win. Rumor is that hes developed some serious bike power this year. Andreas Raelert (Germany): Raelert is the wild card among the top contenders. He had one of the fastest Ironman debuts weve ever seenIronman Arizona 2008and theres little doubt that hell have one of the fastest runs of the day on Saturday.
Andy Potts (USA): Potts was seventh in 2008, with quite literally no Ironmanspecific experience. Even though he had a nasty bike wreck last month (at the Chicago Tri), he should at least make the top fiveif not better.WOMENChrissie Wellington (GBR): Most replica Concord watches people think shell winby a lotno questions asked. Mirinda Carfrae (Australia): She cant swim or bike with Wellington, but the tiny Aussie should post one of the fastest runs of the day. Yvonne Van Vlerken (Netherlands): She hasnt had a great season, but last years runnerup should be able to get back on the podiumespecially if she breaks three hours on the run.
