However if I ha 10k to put on someone, it would be Marino Vanhoenaker and Chrissie. I got the last 2 years right so book it! You had Macca and Miranda last year? Yes, I kept telling people Macca had valid excuses (mechanical on bike, gi issues) the last 2 years and he was not washed up. |

| Veteran 200 Summerfield, NC | Subject: RE: Who's your favorite for Kona this year? I'll go with Faris for no other reason then I always pick Faris. For the women I'd really like to see Mirinda or Diebens win but it's hard to not pick Chrissie. A nice PNF/ Erin Baker-type rivalry would be fun to watch for a few years. |

Extreme Veteran 415 | Subject: RE: Who's your favorite for Kona this year? I think either Chrissie or Mirinda and on the mens side, A. Raelert or Crowie. With some big names out/injured, I would love to see some of the up and coming athletes who year after year make the necessary improvements and are climbing their way up the ladder to the podium. (eg. Massachusetts girl, Caitlin Snow) Or even some of the top age-groupers trying to put the name up near the top 20 finishers. There have been a few races this year in which some of the countrys top/fast age-groupers have done really well, right up front with the pros. Edited by tigers75 2011-09-02 8:41 AM |

Before Chrissie pulled out? |

| 166 | Subject: RE: Who's your favorite for Kona this year? KSwiss has put up $1,000,000 to the Raelert brothers if they run 1-2 at Kona. The only question is which one will win. Not sure about a 1-2 finish, but it wil be hard to beat two guys racing and cooperating for a $1 Million prize. Chrissie can't be touched. Her only competition is her own mind. She ought to UNDERTRAIN for Kona, so that she doesn't get sick again. She does not need to be at her best to win. 90% is enough. There is enough evidence to support that. |

That looks better! If I crack the top 100 in my age group I'd be damn happy, as last year it took a 9:58 to pull that off. I'll take Crowie and Chrissie for the win |

And the 1 Raelert that will be there probably won't be 100%. |

I'll take Crowie and Chrissie for the win How about top 100 (overall) out of the water instead? I couldn't find results that you can sort by swim time so I dunno what that would have been last year... |

Unless a shark bites off my leg, I should be able to swing a 57. |
