Female Race Participants
This table lists the athletes who have qualified for Kona. Not all of them are likely to race, but any withdrawals are not going to replaced by other athletes. (There is a separate list for the men’s race in Nice.)
Updates:
- Susie Cheetham posted that she’s picked up pneumonia which hasn’t healed in time for a proper Kona prep.
- Barbara Riveros has been a serious accident and won’t be able to race in Kona.
- Ironman have now posted the official bib list and I have added bib numbers in the list below. There has been one addition, Laura Siddall was given a wildcard after her DNF in Brasil which sounded as if she was hit by a car. In addition to Alice (as noted below), Gabi Obmann and Meredith Kessler also haven’t been assigned a bib number.
- Alice Alberts posted that she won’t race in Kona this year, instead she wants “to gain more experience at the Pro level”.
(For some athletes I only have the year they were born, so if you spot any missing or wrong data, please let me know! Many thanks to John Rye for helping me close some holes.)
