I also have a slightly larger than needed frame like Ramsay does and yes it plays into a slower ride but I'm not going for Gold, rather just to finish.

Plan to be under 13 hours in next year's IMFL.
Can you explain why Kona is more demanding than any other Ironman triathlon? Is it more challenging in a psychological way or any difference in the course?

I've heard it's quite hard to get your name on the list for Kona but aside from that a 140.6 IM should be a 140.6 IM am I wrong?
