Du vélo, aux lunettes de piscine en passant par les runnings pour parler matos c'est ici que ça se passe! Attention pas de petites annonces ou d'annonces commerciales ici (voir plus bas les forums dédiés à cela).
Je dirais bien que oui, un anglais l'a fait avec son titanflex récemment et avant il avait des Softride et un Trek-y-Foil. Comme il n'est pas le seul à avoir ce genre de vélo.
On va chercher ça.

I thought maybe the age grouper competition really picked up since it's harder to get a slot now. I know a guy locally that qualified in the early days in the mid 80's when he was in his 40's by doing an odd distance half ironman race. He did quit a few IM's back in the day, but I don't think he ever broke 6 hours on the bike or 4 hours on the marathon. He'd be cannon fodder now. He was pretty shocked at the times I needed now just to be on the bubble. I assume most of that is the number of Kona slots are fixed, but there are more and more IM's worldwide.
Do you think the age group field is a bit polarized? Do you think the numbers of those just trying to finish vs. those "racing" have changed any? I have no idea what the fields looked like in the 90's. I was just getting into the sport in the last 90's and knew one Kona qualifier and a couple other guys getting ready to do their first. He was in his 40's and was rolling some solid sub 10 hour times in Kona on a Trek Y-foil. That bike was cool as hell.
