Veteran 1016  Deep South, Georgia | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! Pumped up to watch the race today! I don't know about Jacobs, but I'm with you that I wouldn't be surprised to see Frodeno and Kienle on the podium. Hoping Starky can do something special today, and rooting for Andreas as well. Here's the link for the streaming for anyone interested. |

Elite 7783     PEI, Canada | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! Andy Potts takes a huge lead out of the water, followed by a strong bike split and then hangs on for dear life on the run. Ok, maybe I just want someone to validate my own strategy for once. I'd like to see Kienle win as well but I'm going with Frodeno, Raelert, Crowie just to be different. For the women, Steffan (using my aforementioned strategy), Rinny and Ryf |

For the women, Steffan (using my aforementioned strategy), Rinny and Ryf As I said in another thread. German, Belgium and Switzerland are my favorites, men and women. I would love to see Marino do well. I wonder if the women working together would have the impact of the men working together. |

| Extreme Veteran 5722 | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! Originally posted by Fred D I will look for her, thanks! She won WC 70.3, has won back to back races, is coached by Brett Sutton and seems to have this killer attitude while racing. She is charming...and wait for it.....speaks French :-) On the men keep an eye out for Nils FromHold Between him, Frodeno, Kienle and a bit back Raelert....hey how about Farris....that's a lot of German fire power Van Lierde, Aernouts and a bit back Marino...the Belgians will be strong Did you know those Belgians are soldiers ? They are paid by the military to train. Crazy |

| Member 587 | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! Originally posted by marcag Originally posted by Fred D I can't believe anyone can unseed Carfrae. Ryf can Ability wise - yes. I just wonder if she has enough left after a great season of racing. Personally I just think she won't have enough left to call upon at the end of this race. But it should be entertaining to watch. |

| Member 587 | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! Potts is one of my favorite athletes & I hope he does have a great race. It would be great to have him on the podium. Truthfully though, I don't think he can win. Mostly for the reasons Fred lists. He is not going to back off on the swim, so he would have to be out front all day. Maybe somehow he hitches on to Starky, gets into T2 second & then can have just enough run to get to the finish ahead of the swift runners. Edited by 5stones 2014-10-11 11:07 AM |

Or is he just simply not good enough to do it at Kona I don't think he does. I think the only way it could happen is if he gets a big lead on the swim that lets him get out alone on the bike long enough that the uber bikers have enough time to break away from the main pack and he tags along on their train to T2 when they roll by him. |

Always makes me sad.  I'd like to see Andy win. Haha. I think Potts is a great ambassador for triathlon regardless and helps to push the sport and maybe make the swim a bit more relevant in his way because he dominates. He's also said "Hi" to me once..so were basically bffs.  |

Watched him after the finish at Timberman this year. His race was a bust after a long mechanical on the bike. He wasn't happy. But he shook it off and was spending time with a group of teens who were thrilled to be getting advice from a pro. Don't think we'll be talking about him any more in this thread tho. |

| Master 3195 Just South of Boston | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! I'm rooting for the guy on the left of this (yep, that's me hangin' with Andy Potts) <--------------- Also keeping a big rooting interest for Colin Cook, BT's very own (aka PeakTriCoaching, previously "hockeyhands"). this is his 3rd straight time at Kona. He is also a great guy, was the first BT'er I ever met, and a huge help to me when I started in this. Go Colin!!! Edited by Mike_D 2014-10-11 1:51 PM |

I met Andy after he won LP. He's a really cool guy. I wish he'd come to my birthday party. |

| Member 110 | Subject: RE: Kona World Championships! For anyone who thinks Potts size puts him out of the running, one word- Macca. If Macca can do it, so can Potts. I think the balance for him hangs on race - day course conditions and his nutrition plan. That said, this isn't his year. O'Donnell is my 'Merican favorite. |
