Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

Ben Hoffman is back to defend his 2013 title, but he faces Andy Potts who remains unbeaten in an Ironman outside of Kona. Victor Zyemtsev (always with a great run) and the „German Cycling Machine“ Maik Twelsiek would love to be able to mix things up.

• Ben Hoffman: 49% (1-1)
• Andy Potts: 23% (3-1)
• Victor Zyemtsev: 16% (5-1)
• Maik Twelsiek: 8% (11-1)
• Pedro Gomes: 2% (48-1)

Female Race Participants

The „Ws” Heather Wurtele and Kelly Williamson are the favorites on the female side. Jennie Hansen would love to get back to her summer 2013 level when she won in Lake Placid. Originally Heather Jackson was planning on racing CdA, but she is not on the start list.

• Heather Wurtele: 42% (1-1)
• Kelly Williamson: 40% (1-1)
• Jennie Hansen: 13% (7-1)
• Stephanie Jones: 4% (22-1)
