@st_halvard Not too many races left after Olympics that qualify for 2021 - Frankfurt, Copenhagen, cutoff end of August. Iden is fine (no validation needed for 2021). Any more details?

.@TriRating Iden, Blummenfelt and Stornes are all going for Kona after the olympics. Blu & Stornes will have to qualify.

@planetatriatlon No validation needed for this Kona. So Jan&Gustav are good for 2021.

@TriRating Can you help us? We're in an argument: have Jan and Gustav Iden to validate their slots racing an IRONMAN, haven't they?

@kramer_tria @Frasertri Yes, 5m & 3f Pro slots.

@Frasertri rumours said there will 5 slots for the pro male

Looking forward to watching what I’m sure will be a fascinating race at #IMTulsa 2mo. And if I’ve read correctly (and I’m confident I have 🤓) there are 7 & 9 M & F already KQ, with a possible 4 slots available to each race. Meaning a top 11 & 13 finish *could* be enough! G’luck!

@antoinejdtri Transitions are always a bit tricky ... 1. Make sure they are indeed included in one of the legs, i.e. Total close to s+b+r 2. Typically, T1 should be included in the bike and T2 in the run, but I don't think there's a hard rule for it.

@TriRating hi Thorsten, I’m analyzing Challenge Roth finishing times and splits since 1990 for a study and was wondering, when Transitions times are not mentioned, is T1 included in the swim or bike time, and is T2 included in the bike or run time. Thanks

@antoinejdtri Oh, I'd love to see/comment on that study! Feel free to send to thorsten(at)trirating(dot)com. We could also ask Felix for his comments if it helps your story.

The list of Pros registered for IM Tulsa (May 23rd) is getting longer trirating.com/ironman-tulsa-… A few highlights: WPRO @danielaryf @LauriPhilipp @Katr_Matthews @hjacksonracing @skyemoench @naeth MPRO @patriktriathlon @andi_dreitz @bartaernouts @GoLngrHawk @KevinCollington

@dj_oze Will update Tulsa list early next week. Ironman has a list or 70.3 Texas files.constantcontact.com/a202847d001/99…, will look/ask for information about Cancun, but not sure if I will post seedings for half-distance races .. hopefully enough full distance races soon!

@TriRating Ironman Texas 70.3 April 11th, update to Ironman Tulsa May 23rd & Challenge Cancun May 2nd please.

@TriRating when are you updating Trirating.com ?

Latest update to the the list of Pro Kona qualifiers at trirating.com/kona-2021/ after New Zealand. With the newest additions Hannah Wells & Kyle Smith there are 25 men and 25 women who have secured their spot on the start line.

Results Analysis for Pro races at @IMNZ at trirating.com/ironman-new-ze… Congrats to the winners Hannah Wells & @BradenCurrie and all finishers. Kona Pro slots for rookies Hannah and Kyle Smith.

@webetho @Challenge_Famil @jodiestimpson @protriorg She had only two results at the end of 2020, should climb quite a bit now 😉

@Challenge_Famil Swim for show, run for dough. Is @jodiestimpson not a member of @protriorg ? Or just not in the ranking yet @TriRating ?

Let's have a better look to the split times of Jodie Stimpson, Lucy Charles and Jackie Hering at Challenge Miami! #challengemiami

@theamysaysso I've done an analysis at the end of 2016 trirating.com/data-on-female… - basically a very slow increase between 2005 to 2016 (roughly 18% to 20%) It was based on data from @russmcox, maybe he has some more current analysis?

@TriRating I'm curious do you have any data that might shed light on whether the # or % of female age group registrants in long course triathlon had increased between 2010 and 2019?

The 2020 prize money list from @TriRating quantifies what we already knew: Pro were paid almost no prize money last year—with one big exception. ow.ly/FFFG50DC7ns

Triathlon racing season in 🇦🇺 & 🇳🇿 - Results from "Hell of the West" (congrats to winners Steve McKenna & @elliesalthouse!) - Seedings for 70.3 Geelong on Feb 21st (top seeds @JoshAmberger & @AmeliaWatkinson) Also: looking for a Pro list from @ChallengeWanaka (Feb 20th).

Almost reached one of my "triathlon life goals" with this episode by @Bob_Babbitt. Next step: Have a similar chat in the week before Kona in Kona (instead of just a Kona background)! #FingersCrossed

How much less prize money was there in 2020 Professional triathlon races? Latest blog post at trirating.com/deep-dive-into… with a lot more details and who have been the "top earners".

@thecreativepenn Thanks. My friend and I were looking for something so we could do "drop shipping" with Ingram but couldn't find anything. We just wanted to make sure that we haven't overlooked anything obvious 😃

@TriRating I sell print on all the usual websites but not direct as I don’t want to hold stock & manage shipping etc

@thecreativepenn Are you selling any print copies on your own website or „just“ eBooks and audio?

@alecriddle @bbculp From the IM website ... most races now paying 8 or 10 deep, and money has been shifted a bit to the lower ranks.

@bbculp @TriRating In a race with a prize purse of 100k how much do the winners get & how deep do they pay? Can’t imagine 100k going very far!

Ironman has posted most of the Professional Racing Schedule up to the end of Kona qualifying. Check out at trirating.com/kona-2021/ where things are at this point and who has already qualified. (Page will be updated as new information & race results become available.)

@James_Bale85 @MXEndurance @samrenoufpto @tjford14 @MaccaNow Thanks :-) When I looked before, the episode hadn't yet made it over to the Apple feed, it's there now!
