Kona FOMO: A Pre-Race Week Ironman World Championship Preview with Mirinda Carfrae

Kona FOMO: A Pre-Race Week Ironman World Championship Preview with Mirinda Carfrae

Who better to talk Kona than 3x IRONMAN World Champion Mirinda Carfrae?

This week, the crew welcomes Rinny back to the mic to catch us up on first ultra-marathon and the shift from pro racing to what keeps her motivated now — with some tips for co-host Katie Zaferes on navigating the post-retirement, post-partum workouts.

The team also discusses the big races of the past weekend: WTCS Weihai — Beth Potter and Cassandre Beaugrand are tied (!) going into the final — and the wild XTERRA World Champs.

But let’s be real — the big focus this week? The last all-women’s IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, going down Saturday, October 11.

We break down a field that’s absolutely stacked — from short-course phenoms like Solveig Løvseth and Julie Derron, to seasoned pros like Kat Matthews, Taylor Knibb, and Holly Lawrence. Oh, and don’t forget the three former world champs in the mix: Laura Philipp, Lucy Charles-Barclay, and Chelsea Sodaro. And rising stars like Marjolaine Pierre are also coming in hot.

We get into:

  • How much will the weather play a role?
  • Do the women race differently than the men?
  • Does a Kona vet have a leg up on the lava?
  • Can the short-course specialists hang?
  • Will the course record fall?

There's so much to discuss and Feisty Triathlon will be on the ground in Kona, dropping daily pods starting Monday, Oct. 6. And if you’re on the Big Island — come say hey to the Feisty crew IRL!
