By the way, do we know anything about the pro lineup (without browsing all 400 pages of participant list)? I imagine most of the greats will still be chillaxin after Kona...just wanna know so I can offer anyone with a single digit bib # personalized words of encouragement as I pass them on the run...
I know Linsey Corbin will be there and that's really all that matters. I passed out finisher medals with her last year at IMAZ and then had the honor of getting passed by her while she was on her 2nd lap at Boise 70.3. She was totally trying to flirt with me, but I was busy running 13 miles.
(Meredith Kessler will be there too...I'm going to predict a 1st and 2nd place finish from them) |

I searched the list last night for MPRO / WPRO and the bigger names that I remember are:
* Andy Potts has the race listed on his website, but is not in the athlete guide |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread I believe numbers are based on age and gender for age groupers. Male and female pros first followed by foundation spots followed by either all female or all the males. Youngest females this year are lowest numbers and oldest males are highest. Makes me wonder how I almost hit 2,000  |

Someone told me there are about 430 in the M40-44 AG. which is typically one of the largest AGs, at least in AZ triathlons. Not sure about the race bib numbers - I was 2005 last year and 2128 this year, and from my time last year it seems odd I dropped that far - but I do not know their criteria for assigning numbers. When it all comes down to it, it really is just a number......... There are M45-49 who are going to smoke my time that will have a higher number than me, so it is not based on overall expected finish time. Edited by 101abp40 2012-10-11 9:28 AM |

Bib numbers for our age group are 159-480, which I believe are the charity foundation slots. Second group runs from 1853-2316. Note, there is one participant, #2960 which is in a final grouping of participants. My guess is he is one of the Carmichal Training Group participants. Also interesting... two guys in the M75-79 age group. Hope I'm able to particpate in my 70's as well.

* Andy Potts has the race listed on his website, but is not in the athlete guide awesome that the big names remember include more women than men, but there are a lot more big name men there: Craig Alexander (Crowie), Michael Raelert, Chris McCormick (Macca) ... are all amongst the top contenders -- my bet is in Jordan Rapp. Women's top contenders - Mirinda Carfrae (Rinny), Caroline Steffen and Mary Beth Ellis are the favorites. Rinny was second only to Chrissie last year. My heart is with Mary Beth Ellis, but my belief is that Rinny will take it. |

Me too, it's the only shot at KQ I have... I figure if you just who up and cross the finish line, you get a spot. |
