Kona 25

I’m assuming that the best place to watch this in the UK is on YouTube?

Looking forward to the insightful commentary :roll_eyes:

Yes, YouTube.

I’m going to tune in earlier to watch the pre-show (body marking show) as I like watching it when transition opens and you see the pro athletes walk in every few minutes and then some of them get interviewed before heading off to their bikes for final setup.

Isn’t that 15:30?

Or is the difference between coverage and swim start?

Thats when transistion opens I think and pre-race coverage.

"The women’s professional race in Kona gets under way at 06:25 local time on Saturday October 11 – from Kailua Pier. That corresponds to 17:25 UK time, 18:25 CET.

Cut to ads when a key pass is being made is on my bingo card.

You have, repeatedly on every IM you’ve ever followed.

I swear you could steam the audio of any previous IM commentary over the top of todays race and it wouldn’t be any different, so vanilla / generic it would still make sense… doesn’t matter what happens, its like bot commentary.
I can guarantee I will turn the sound off for long periods.

The youtube chat is most informed and entertaining than then commentary… enjoy.

Omg ..

Just been flicking back and forth… 15 minutes of sports washing or whatever its called.

Getting light… sunrise soon.

“The Roka weather” what the f… has Roka go to do with the weather? Do they make umbrellas

Got my first on the bingo card commentary :ok_hand:
