Great highlight summaries and commentary! Thank you so much for your efforts!

[@thedeadlyexplorers7514]

Thanks for the recap! Im taking away alot from the start of this season - mainly all Ironman races are B list races and an opportunity to make money and get yourself to gold standard pto racing (i mean that respectfully). The pto is proving itself to be the pinnacle of the sport

[@mDot_joe2023]

Brilliant highlights package - much appreciated once again! thanks Travis

[@thedailytri]

Thanks Joe!

[@successismonentum3210]

[@TheSmoowe]

great recap - keep up the good work💪🏼

[@bibimar80]

ver very nice recap. Well done!

[@thedailytri]

Thank you kindly!

[@geraldkiessling]

Wow, in Spain they actually hand out penalties for drafting? Bravo. Good that it finally happens to Youri. He has been noticed for drafting several times among the pros and he has even won races this way without being penalized. And while we're on the subject of penalties. Sam Long should have been disqualified last week. At check-in he was asked about the fact that his athlete's wristband was missing from the last three races there. He was just surprised that this had been noticed. Incorrigibly, he did not wear his athlete's wristband in the race again. The ranking in the series would have shifted quite a bit if someone had said something and come up with an objection. The athlete's wristband is annoying sometimes, but everyone should wear one. Sam is going for it and is probably only learning the hard way.

[@ramslater1]

Youri Chartier I mean Keulen flukes one race win and immediately reverts to type, drafting. I wonder if he will now be added to drug testing lists, and if we will see him win again.

[@CG-99]

Beautiful, beautiful Mallorca 😍 🤩 👌

[@thedailytri]

It really is!

[@joerg.schneider]

It sure is the most beautiful island of the world!

[@elka2palka]

Can we talk about livestream? What was happening when they couldn't show the pros and just showed T1 and age groupers leaving the transition and 2 commentators just blabbing? At rhis point I called it quits and fell asleep.

[@Lockas93bw]

From experience I can tell you that the cellphone reception in the Tramuntana mountains is quite bad. Seems like they couldn't establish a stable connection

[@elka2palka]

@@Lockas93bw thank you for explaining. Is this happening every year during Livestream?

[@rufusracing8691]

Yes! 🎉

[@JordiMoll]

What was the average speed on bicycle. They looks so fast. Thanks for your time.

[@thedailytri]

You can find everones average speed if you download the Ironman tracker app! :) Its usually around 24-26mph

[@MMichiganSalveRegina]

Can we talk about how much $$ is spent on aero testing for marginal W savings... all to be ruined by those fluttering race bibs acting like parachutes on the bike? It's incredible and looks super low end.

[@thedailytri]

100%. Drives me nuts too

[@joerg.schneider]

Not to mention that almost NONE of the female Pros knows how to hop on the bikes properly (some also don't know how to get off), wasting more time there that could easily be saved with a little bit of training. And yes, I watched it at the end of T1 personally yesterday.

[@PMVelarde]

@@joerg.schneiderso Lucy Charles is a world champion, even Ryf sometimes doesn’t do flying dismounts but still wins races and you a mere mortal is complaining about it? Talk when you can reach their NPs on the bike or even get close to their finish times! 🙄

[@joerg.schneider]

@@PMVelarde 1. You know nothing about me. Until recently there wasn't a woman who could beat me. 2. I'm not complaining. Just observing that there are valuable seconds easily wasted that could make a difference (Laura vs. Emma 14s, Nico vs. Jan 8s). Just relax a bit, will ya!

[@emf6621]

​@@PMVelarde he is making the point that they could go even faster with optimal dismounts, not that they aren't good bike riders.

[@tomasmcmillan3131]

Why do you think the pros seem to breath on one side every other stroke? We r told to bilateral breah and to keep your head down. These guys are breathing every stroke and ahead of the pack plus all the sighting peaks. It seems to me the guy that keeps his head down and cuts all that waving of the head should win. Can you do a video on this topic?

[@thedailytri]

Great question! Its actually pretty simple - Pretty much all elite swimmers breathe every stroke to keep up with oxygen debt and maintain a consistent stroke rhythm! For us age groupers- they want us to be able to breathe both ways to learn correct form and not develop any imbalances! In a race though, you will need that extra oxygen, since youll be swimming at your threshold speed. Also, with the head out of the water to sight so often, it makes sense to grab a breath while the head is up. I remember Jan Frodeno talking about this in a video or interview once before. Ill have to try and find it and send it you! Thanks for the question - made me think I could make a video on "What the pros do different than the age-groupers". Also thank you for becoming a member Tomas!!!!! Welcome to team Daily Tri!!

[@ryan4285]

Great commentary but please wait until the athletes cross the line to tell us the winner. A few too many spoilers 😉

[@lord1999ful]

What happened to Ruth astle ? Did she pulled out?

[@thedailytri]

Yes! Right before the start. She had a bad night before. Sounded like illness

[@skshain]

I thought we could watch the replay on OUTSIDE TV without being a member? WTH!

[@maxgraf27]

It's uploaded on youtube: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGLTfJZ8ac2HZpIsi=qBBs3e_oxFOgpw9Q

[@thedailytri]

It's geoblocked so only certain countries can watch it @maxgraf27 :(

[@jenslundberg410]

What happened to Gustav? Did you mention what happened to him?

[@J.e.f.f.r.e.y]

3:45 Gustav had a mechanical issue which ended his race.

[@stevenleslie8354]

Race marshalls are in danger of killing pro racing

[@CG-99]

If they are strict people like you criticise them; if they are very soft with enforcement they also get criticised. They can't win! But at least the race ranger units largely eliminate the spurious calls.

[@kevinmcgaire8684]

I think the biggest issue is the standards ironman has set for penalty length

[@trbeyond]

I agree it’s not consistent but do we know for sure the race officials didn’t tell the pros they’d be strictly enforcing the red light / drafting distance?

[@stevenleslie8354]

@@CG-99 people like me?. Lol

[@Thesailingrunner]

There’s gotta be so much doping happening with these rising stars. Non are getting tested.

[@miguelpfeffermann]

Just have to hope that it’s not the case. The sport is growing and evolving (which would make more people at the top possible). Though sadly, you might be right. Right now, we just don’t know…💀

[@thedeadlyexplorers7514]

100%

[@Thesailingrunner]

Gustav career over? We’ve seen athletes lose it all after traumatic events

[@miguelpfeffermann]

Paahahhaha no.

[@yesitis1395]

Pahahhahahaa, yes.

[@yesitis1395]

I would anticipate he would retire before fail. After the Olympics dream crushed, family issues, injury, racing results, the pressure to perform, the comments sections trashing him, it's foreseeable.

[@yesitis1395]

I can add that there was a woman on the podium whose career is pretty much done as well, despite all the hype. People get mad bc I'm always the first to call it.

[@miguelpfeffermann]

@@yesitis1395 yeah bc it’s negative af. Just let him cook. Rather be quiet than unsupportive. And you will literally find comparisons for every shit that is out there…

[@gilbertamthor5098]

50k to winner is a fricking joke. Ironman should be ashamed

[@thedailytri]

It’s actually the prize purse for all the top men and women… split up 😬
