2025 Triathlon Pro Race Thread

Maybe I’m paranoid but I thought I detected the twinkling of an undercurrent, in the post race interviews. Or at least maybe Sam detected one.

At the end of the day you’re either clean and you know you have to put up with suspicions, or you’re not.

Oceanside predictions:

Men:
Long - seems like the favorite
Dubrick?
Currie?
Sanders?

Women:
Knibb
Findlay

Lionel down 2 min at T1 and Long down 2:24. We’ll see if Lionel can stay on the Long train through the pack.

LFG Lionel! Hope he can hold on.

Sanders bridged to Long, Laundry to Sanders, then Sanders drops them both. Can he really hold that pace?

Race was won for the women fifteen minutes ago

Feed down :cry:

LIONEL IS BACK! Let’s go. Time to put away the carbon shoes during training.

And swim 6000yds everyday since Christmas… :wink:

Good on him, I did not think he had it in him.

I am surprised that Long “only” ran a 1:12. I was expecting 1:10-1:11 after Miami. It seems like all the work he did on the bike may have caught up to him.

Oceanside reactions:

LIONEL, LIONEL, LIONEL! Getting the popcorn ready for the YouTube drop this week.

Gustav in top 3; it’s really great that he is putting 2024 behind him.

Ari K in top 10 in that field - let’s go. This guy got dropped by his bike sponsor and mixes his own sports drink. Get him some sponsorship $$ stat.

KB had a mechanical on the bike but looked strong… ran a 1:07… holy s***.
