Kona 2010 – Friday

Bike check in day in Kona and like every year some folks line up early to drop off their bikes. We were there to capture a few impressions.

Aussies rule at Kona

Mirinda Carfrae cracks 9 hours and wins with a record 2:53:32 run; Macca turns back the clock and runs 2:43:31 for a second Kona win; Chrissie Wellington a late scratch sickout

Rasmus Henning is calm, confident

The 35-year-old Dane is in the besty shape of his already distinguished triathlon career. With no broken hand, more training and more taper, he says "I can win."

Timo Bracht – stealth contender

Last year he came into Kona after a career win at Frankfurt but could only muster a 6th place finish. This year he's a stealth contender who thinks his chances are better.

70.3 WC: Viva Las Vegas

The much maligned Clearwater course is history. Pack your bags and your Elvis wig. We're going west. Las Vegas is the new home for the biggest triathlon ever to hit Nevada.

WTC enters short course arena

The owners of the Ironman brand of multisport events dove down in distance with its announcement of 5150, a series of Olympic-distance races that poached prize properties from the Life Time and ITU series.

Chrissie and Kona 4.0

She's going for four in a row. She broke Newby-Fraser's Kona record. Her 8:19 at Roth smashed her own world best. And she says her broken arm was the best thing that ever happened to her.
