This will be an unpopular opinion with @PevashishDaul, but I think Lionel's window just slammed shut.* I don't think he can run with these guys, and I don't think he can get so much better on the swim-bike for this shortfall to be overcome. Lange again, AB, Frodo. Gomez in the top 10, but not podium. (JB finishes in an ambulance but wins the vaunted "Golden Saline Bag" for most IVs in first IM.)
*I look forward to someone quoting this back to me in October. I'm way better at reading cycling tea leaves than long-distance triathlon.
I assume his strategy will be similar for IM as it was for 70.3 WC. First pack out of the water. Ride his bike at his own pace, catch on to a train when it goes by and ride with it as long as he doesn't have to over exert to do so. He is smart enough to let people ride away from him. Ride his own pace for the remainder of the bike then run everyone (or almost everyone) down. *
As a Javi fanboy, I am looking forward to it. If nothing else, it should make it another interesting year at Kona.
*all assumes he figures out nutrition.
