December 15 will always be my birth date, but this day two years ago it also became an anniversary date for @lucycharles93 & @reecebarclaytri ... : : happy 2nd wedding anniversary you two. 😘 : : The last two years have flown by.. this was from an underwater wedding portrait shoot with two of the triathlon fastest swimmers. Both Lucy and Reece met at swim club some years prior, so it was only right that we’d celebrate their big day by shooting ain the water 📷 💦 : : : #underwaterphotography #underwaterwedding #portraitphotography #lucycharlesbarclay #jamesmitchellphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CI0uWG3h65k/?igshid=1v8fhtp9lidg

Kings & Queens of Kona . . . #BartAernouts In the last few years, Bart has been racing well in Kona, with a second place finish last year as his best result. Still, the quiet Belgian probably won't factor in many race predictions. This is partly because he loses a fair chunk of time in the swim (around 6 minutes to Jan Frodeno), and while he has improved his bike in recent years, he hasn't yet become a "bike powerhouse" on the level of Sebastian Kienle or Cam Wurf. His real strength is on the run, especially in the Kona heat. He's one of the few athletes with a sub-2:45 run potential in Kona, and that run speed is what he'll need in order to finish on the Kona podium. ..................................................

In her last three IM-distance races Lucy has shown that she is no longer "just" a swim specialist. She's been consistently riding one of the fastest bike splits and her run has improved as well. As she continues to outswim most of her competition by about six minutes, it will require a very patient "catching up all day long" strategy to beat her. The last two years Daniela Ryf has been able to catch up to her on the bike – maybe this year Lucy will ride even faster to at least make it a race well into the marathon. It'll also be very interesting to see how the gaps between Lucy and the rest of the field will develop and if anyone other than Daniela will have a chance to overtake her this year. ..................................................
