Barring no mechanical problems, Chrissie and I think Crowie will surprise everyone

 Normann will be caught on the run and then it'll be a duel between Macca and Crowie!!

Not sure on the men's side. Would love to see Andy Potts pull it off, but don't think he will be able to against such an experienced and strong field.

Sentimental fav for me on the women's side would be Tara Norton. Just feel she deserves it. But I think it will be Kate Major this time.

I saw Belinda Granger win Lake Placid in 2007 and she gave me a high-five at the finish, so I'll be cheering for her. Also saw Kate Major win there several years ago. And of course who can't help but love Badmann?

On the men's side, I'm not such a fan of Stadler. But what a bike split he does! Not really sure whom I'll be routing for, but Chris McCormack is a cutie.

McCormack, Wellington..

Who Tollakson?  I will bet he doesn't make the top 10..  ????

Potts.. c-mon..  he is a major dark horse..  I would pick a lot of other guys before him tho

alexander??  not if the wind is blowing.  he has experience now??  what 2 Ironman races and none since Kona last??  I wouldn't be surprized if he has a rough one..

Other possibilities..  Vernay, Stadler, Llanos hmmm.. Al Sultan if he can get his head right ... Sindballe.. will need some viscious winds and then mild temps for the run

 

who could beat Wellington??  I give her 2-1 odds but outside shots have Csomor, VanVlerken and Major??

Wow, first post and basically spot on IMHO.  Nicely done!  I suppose we'll see...

I don't really expect Potts to podium, but I'm anxious to see what he can do and will be rooting for him.

I'd like to see Potts and Macca duel it out for the men, but only base that on the fact that he appears to have the right mentality to put out a great performance regardless of having "done it" before. Interesting either way.

The women's race will be a battle for second place behind Wellington unless something crazy happens, she is on fire.

I'm picking Wellington to win... the overall race, regardless of gender. She's just THAT good.

I'm thinking one of these IMs she's going to do just that. I don't think it's going to be Kona, though.

My Podium:

3. Torbjorn Sindballe
2. Stadler
1. Macca

Pulling for T.J, he'll get there at some point. Top 10 would be huge.

Ladies:

3. Rebecca Preston
2. Kate Major
1. Wellington

Pulling for Desiree to have a good race. Top 5 would be huge.
