Winning Odds
Heather Jackson is the favorite – she’s following a similar race plan to last year when she qualified by winning IM Coeur d’Alene. All she needs this year is to finish. Kelly Williamson is unlikely to race, she has been tending an issue that prevented her from racing well since IM Texas.
- Heather Jackson: 38% (2-1)
- Kelly Williamson: 36% (2-1)
- Amber Ferreira: 18% (4-1)
- Beth Shutt: 5% (19-1)
KPR Situation
In addition to Heather, there are only two other athletes who are looking for a Kona slot: Alicia Kaye who is practically safe but wants to gain some more IM experience and Jodie Robertson who wants to show that her second place at IM Texas wasn’t a fluke.
