Winning Odds
Male Race Participants
The men’s race looks like a repeat of last year’s race when Lionel and Sebi were neck to neck for most of the day:
- Lionel Sanders: 55% (1-1)
- Sebastian Kienle: 41% (1-1)
Female Race Participants
Anne Haug is the clear favorite on the female side – she has shown a number of very strong 70.3s this year. But she faces a large number of competitors including last year’s winner Lucy Charles who is likely to lead for the swim and a large portion of the bike. But when the others manage to catch Lucy towards the end of the bike, it’ll be a running race, and Anne holds most of the cards in that situation.
- Anne Haug: 58% (1-1)
- Lucy Charles: 11% (8-1)
- Emma Pallant: 6% (15-1)
- Helle Frederiksen: 6% (15-1)
- Radka Kahlefeldt: 5% (18-1)
- Annabel Luxford: 5% (19-1)
- Heather Wurtele: 5% (21-1)
- Ellie Salthouse: 3% (35-1)
