As last year, I’ve put together a Rating Report analyzing the results of last year’s long distance racing season.

The report contains the following information:

• My “Long Distance Trivia Questions” and answers
• The TOP 10 overall Ratings and for each leg
• The TOP 10 performances of the 2012 season
• The 2012 Money List
• A discussion on the KPR and qualifying strategies
• Course Ratings
• plus a lot more statistics.

If you are just a little bit interested in IM-distance triathlons, this is a must-read! The feedback from my “beta-readers” has been very positive.

Brett from one of my favorite triathlon podcasts gave me the chance for a guest post on his blog. We picked “Fast Couples” to show some of my data .. please check it out: Fast Couples? – Who and How Much. Thanks, Brett!

Based on my winning and Top3 odds for Kona, Magic Sportfood has started an Ironman Betting Game on their German language Facebook page. To play, simply submit your top 10 men and top 6 women picks (in order) to lukedrags@yahoo.com by Thursday, October 11th.

You can see a list of the odds on their Facebook page. I will release some more commentary later in the week.

As last year, I’ve created a Kona Rating Report for the upcoming race in Hawaii – again with a great title photo by Rich Cruse.
It contains tons of information on

• the Kona pro field (men and women),
• a look at the 2011 Kona results,
• results of the qualifying races for Kona 2012 and final KPR standings and also
• the previous results of the Kona participants.

This year, the report also contains a lot more predictions:

• odds for winners and TOP3 athletes
• an analysis on who’s racing well in Kona
• a “statistical guess” on the standings after the bike
• a closer look at run capabilities, including run comparison matrix

The Kona Rating report is the ideal information to have when following the Ironman Kona coverage! Initial feedback by my subscribers has been very positive (“wicked work”, “absolutely incredible!”). If you’re looking forward to the race, I’m sure you’ll like it, too!
