’13 Kona Top 16 Women Bike
Last week we looked at the Top 16 women on the run at the 2013 GoPro Ironman World Championships and today we feature them on the bike with many more details. We typically try to get as many side shots of the athletes so you can see their position, plus we have details about the equipment they used during the Big Dance. Mirinda Carfrae did herself a huge favor with a much improved bike split and did so on the Felt IA, a bike she had not had very long. Rachel Joyce was very steady all day long and Liz Blatchford made a fine Kona debut. And we feature 16 athletes here because an age grouper managed to have an amazing time.
