Cam Wurf is going to win Kona
I don't think it'll be close. Discuss.

Sanders FTW! McMahon 2nd!
What about that 27 year old kid who just won Texas? Nilsson I think? Any shot at a podium?
On a very windy day, something that hasn’t been seen since 2004, maybe he gets 3rd. That’s the best he’ll do. He’s also turning 36 in August. He doesn’t have a lot of time left.
It'll never happen, though I wish it would.
I believe McNamee has preemptively been awarded 3rd place again for this year, and a small statue of Fernanda Keller* for his efforts, so Wurf would have to be 2nd to be on the podium.
*To whoever ends up my Secret Santa - please take note that I would also like a small statue of Fernanda Keller.
Pretty weak field at Ironman Australia, is this sport dead yet?
Will also be interesting to see if Sebi tries to hang with Cam like he did in Roth last year. He said after that race that it was one of the most painful rides of his life and he's not sure he'd try to hang with Cam again. It almost cost him the win.
Lastly, shout out to Cam for electing to race against the best in Frankfurt even though he's locked up his Kona spot like 12 times over. He knows he needs experience racing against these guys if he's ever going to beat them in Kona.
Ex-pro cyclist hanging out with Froome is enough for me to write him off.
I'm a fan of the way he races; same reason I'm a fan of Starky. There's a lot of cheating that goes on in the pack in Kona and the team tactics last year with Drietz and Lange was absolute bullshit. I'm a fan of the guys who do the exact opposite.
That's fucking funny.
I hope starky gets some vaporflys and paints them and his socks up like combat boots.

These two guys are at the top of my list of pros I would invite to a BBQ. Even if they don't win Kona, I hope they blow up the race.
Seriously: we sit down and go backwards as quickly as possible, with an attempt to NOT look where one is going, only where we’ve been.
It’s nearly as bad as swimming, which produces the only people on earth who think that a data screen on a rowing ergometer is interesting.
Still love it though.
Drove 3 hours to a regatta last weekend. 10 minutes before we reach the race, we get a call it's too windy, race was cancelled. Luckily we had another race the next day. Couple people didn't and turned around and went home. I can't wait until she goes to college.
