Summary

What a race from Patrick Lange. Today, we look at how KONA unfolded and why, after all these years, it still comes down to the run . . . and maybe the swim? It's incredible to think that Lange may have strategically pulled back on the bike with a 4:06, but it definitely makes you want to look at the little things and how important they are in racing. Speed kills in shorter racing, but at the Ironman distance, mistakes can pile up. Making good decisions in your race (and training) often trumps technology, but it's all so tempting. Today, we get into many aspects of Ironman training and racing with a food for thought discussion.

Topics:

Execution for the win
The incredible Patrick Lange
Ditlev's grit
Blummenfelt's struggles
The amazing Cam Wurf (and Matt Hanson)
Rudy von Berg, Sam Laidlow
The swim course record
The most underrated triathlete
All the new methods, but . . .
Mistakes take you out of the race
Mental games
Was a good chunk of the field over-raced?
Pro triathlete's schedules
Do some of us do too much?
The temptation of the tech short cut
One hit wonders, golf clubs, the Boston Red Sox and more
