I think Laura would have won regardless today, killer performance all the way through. The only benefactor was probably Chelsea, she made the podium without Lucy and Anne presence. Can we talk about the ridiculousness of IM though on behalf of Anne Haug? How does that happen 200m into the course? Don’t we check for debris? And have a crew to assist? “ too congested” is a poor excuse for a WC event. Also their broadcast crew needs a complete overhaul, such poor commentating and inability to know anything about the competitors. How is it impossible for them to not know where people are beyond the first 3 spots??? Awful.

[@drm437]

I honestly don’t think Lucy could’ve held off Laura as Laura is a much better Runner. I have my doubts that Haug could’ve beat them either. Laura would’ve been way up off the bike and Anne, isn’t running 235. Deserved winner.

[@elka2palka]

Great battle! I was hoping that Kat will win but happy for Laura too!

[@Steveness100]

Great wrap up! 👍

[@Amanda_K_001]

Let's not take anything away by throwing the ? of Lucy and Anne not being there, I want to know why Anne couldn't get mechanical by T1? My fantasy picks were almost there,great showing by those who showed up

[@inntw4889]

I thought this was a travesty too. Just waiting in T1 without no help for like 20 minutes was so sad to watch.

[@billaronis3645]

So happy for Laura!

[@latteentry351]

LP earned this win! Congrats

[@megmikerodriguez6011]

"Super cool!!" for Laura to win the big one...psyched for her and love her YT channel even with the subtitles, lol! Kat hung tough, happy for her podium too! Still bummed about Lucy and Anne, though. Yes, curious to know how the race would have looked with them in. Appreciate your recaps, Travis! God bless, Megan

[@mariemeyer6852]

Congratulations Laura!!

[@larrylem3582]

What tires was Anne Haug running?

[@PureNRG2]

Ones she’ll likely never use again.

[@lindam308]

I love these recaps! Thanks so much Travis! You're my favorite commentator!! So happy Laura won! 🎉

[@pizzaman207]

Without the dnf and dns, The podium would have been:LCB, Haug, Phillip. Lucy would have made a gap in the swim to Haug, then made more time in the bike. She probably would have an 18-minute gap to Haug going into the run. Their finish would only be by 1:30 minutes at most. Sodaro definitely benefited the most, with some suspicious circumstances like her awful T100 series, poor 70.3's, and switching bikes, sparks curiosity. Happy for Phillip she totally deserves it, she was the obvious choice for making the next stride for the top step. Let's go champ. LCB vs LP in Kona next year will be awesome.

[@inntw4889]

I think this was Anne Haug’s for the taking. She came out of the swim just in front of Laura Philip, and after her Roth performance I’m sure she would have been able to be in that group with Laura and Kat, or at least not that far back, especially with her being so much lighter for the climbs, and so she definitely would have got them all on the run. I think Lucy would have been out by herself on the swim and bike, but Laura would have caught her on the run, so if Haug had also been in the race, I’m sure it would have been 1. Haug, 2. Philip, 3. LCB

[@coachjohn]

While watching the race it wasn't really noted how fast this marathon was...I don't think either Anne or Lucy would have cought Laura.

[@andrebonilha7254]

It‘s not correct, that Kat never beat Anne on a full distance. Kat got second in Saint George WC behind Daniela and in front of Anne. 👍

[@thedailytri]

Thank you so much for catching that! I don’t know how I missed that

[@martinhughes9239]

Veggie as well 😍

[@herbertbloch4167]

It seems, that there weren't massive influences on the results by penalties. Is that only due to the hills in Nice ? So it wasn't just the wetsuits that had a massive influence on the results. In Kona a lead in T2 with that gap would have been less likely?

[@barfy-man3628]

Ironman really messed up when they moved this from Kona and made it separate from the men’s.

[@JYP7393]

LCB would have never win : 9h03 in june and Laura made 8h45 with same run and cycle trips. Completly an other World. LCB is doing too much vidéo sponsorship, marketing since her award last year. I do not think she was ready for such a compétition. Already Abandon at T100 London and now second one. Clearly she is not ready.

[@christopherdevine2811]

She doesn't like to talk about it but Chelsea Sodaro is a mother.

[@jessicabischoff3240]

You show up everywhere with these comments. Give it a rest. Surely you have other things you can do. Just be happy for these ladies.

[@molochz]

I have a cat.

[@markmoloney79]

@@jessicabischoff3240it’s so unbelievably boring isn’t it. And always a man. Embarrassing.

[@MatMades]

Laura

[@Ivan_Nano]

I can’t get over what happened to Anne. It ruined it for me. Without the two biggest contenders for the podium, this has a total bitter aftertaste. What happened to Anne couldn’t have been prevented either. Happy for Laura but I can’t consider someone being “the best” or the champion if the two best triathletes at the distance weren’t competing.

[@molochz]

Part of racing is avoiding injury and on the start line when the gun goes off. If you aren't fit and ready, then it's just not your year. Sorry but that's just racing. As for Anne Haug, that was disappointing. But again it's just racing. Some days aren't meant to be and there was no guarantee of a podium anyway. She's had plenty of time on the pro circuit. It's not her first or last DNF.

[@kthrynmcdnld]

You’re commenting this everywhere. No one cares what ruined the race for you. Anne was completely poised and took it like a true competitor. And we all know who wasn’t there but that doesn’t diminish Laura’s spectacular performance in any way.

[@End_Illegal_Apartheid_israhell]

no knibb, LCB, Haug = regional champs

[@kthrynmcdnld]

What region are you talking about? There were people from NA, Europe and Oceania in the top 10.
