Kona 2025 IM World Championship Race Day Thread

So it’s not been said yet and of course we won’t know till like mile 16 of the run. Is LCB “over biking”? Everyone of the best bikers has lost time, so yeah…..

Maybe she just stopped at the lactation facility she’s so proud of? As if mom’s can’t stop anywhere.

I doubt it this is not her first rodeo and she’s not blown up yet, the question for me is Kat and Laura, are they taking it easy as it looks to me the race is getting away from both of them..

Somehow it will be her kids fault.

Sodaro sounded like she had a sore throat on the press conference, she better not be semi ill sitting there and contaminating the other favorites.

This race is a little insane 8 mins maybe 10 ny t2 is a lot to close! Why did kat not ride with Solveig would have been perfect

bravo :wink:

Looking for Knibb to make a move on the second half

Agreed, maybe she’s not having a good day as going with. Solveig would have been the perfect move

I’m expecting Matthews to do so too (and maybe she just thought Loevseth went too hard). Bear in mind that she gained maybe 3 minutes on Knibb in the second half of Texas and broke away from Philipp in the last hour of Hamburg (but <1 min gap there)

Super impressed Holly will be top 5 coming into Hawi. Also Lee with another solid start, she is so up and down it’s hard to know which we’ll get but looks like it could be an on day for her.

Knibb looks pretty close to LCB

Not sure if it has been mentioned in here but just seen Anne Reischmann announced she’s pregnant. Still racing but not “competing”. Sat in 32nd place at the 81km checkpoint.

I said it upthread, but I think Kat is too pressured to stay with her. Without that mechanical last time around, we probably see this exact same thing on the bike back then. Kind of a false flag to think Kat and Laura can ride with her all things equal.
