Kona 2025 IM World Championship Race Day Thread

Are you in the US? Youtube is open. Didn’t even attempt to go to Outside.

Is Fenella from the same part of the UK as Lucy? Her accent sounds similar

No, and their accents are quite different!

Rough swim today, Lucy is on fire. I too think she might be in for a great day, but we need a couple hours on the bike to really see. Taylor doing good sitting in, gonna be some bigger than expected gaps with all the swell.

Yes I am

On my one TV I can watch YouTube but I started watching on there before the race started. On my phone and another TV I turned on after the race started and got the notice it wasn’t available in my country so I turned on the VPN.

But then again I’m old so who knows what is really going on :joy:

sounds the same to me :slightly_smiling_face:

The age groupers will be hating on young Lieto and his prediction of a flat swim day on his race day weather overview.:rofl:

The outside feed video quality isn’t great. Keeps going to 480pish quality for me.

Well, I just went to it on my computer…I guess we got lucky because the geoblock is up. :upside_down_face:

Youtube geofenced to the USA?

Had to show the wife how to install the Outside app on our TV, create an account, login through the TV interface.

Great job of gatekeeping your premier marketing event Ironman.

Derue pissed on the NBC broadcast and special saying they only reached 500k with the NBC special but now reach millions on their social channels and other content distribution channels (BS). But they then shunt this and put it on outside.

Appears so. Annoying.

It’s so fucking awesome watching LCB do this EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Kat.not being with taylor is not good will be a lot of solo biking

Taylor seems to be racing smart…sit in, conserve energy, so as to unleash hell on the bike.

Surprised to hear Welch mention T100 especially on the Kona broadcast.

The bummer about LCB being so far off the front is that we’re ONLY going to see her on the bike, none of the racing behind, the bridging up, etc. Mark my words. I know we’re going to get what we pay for (free lol) but I’m already pissed off at Ironman coverage.

Seems like an LCB is approx 1:20 ahead. Not as much. She had before I don’t think

I’ve always been pissed off with it, fucking amateurs.

Whoa chelsea having a solid swim. Nice to see Holly in the first group, expected but still good to see her there

Lucy knocking some stuff off someone else’s bike. Wonder what was knocked off. (Sounds like TK hemlet)
