Can anybody find any info re: race schedule in Singapore? There is literally no info on the pro race in the "official website", except on where to watch it. A bit frustrating. I thought Ironman's site was crap, but I've come to appreciate it now. Triathlon.org only has the start list and the link to the above website.

Thorsten's seedings are here:

For info, 60 minutes for 18km is about 1:10 half marathon pace.

It’s interesting all of these dynamics. You take a look at Wtcs. For the most part all the top athletes race most of the races. Sure every race in the top 20 will skip and they even build it into the rules to allow athletes to skip. Maybe it’s because the depth is so deep that it really doesn’t matter who skips, it’s always a stacked field.

T100 is paying athletes better money than federation stipends and you are seeing a portion of the pros basically showcase a rather interesting race schedule, Pto tells Wtcs athletes to focus on Paris and then they are racing other LC events before Paris. That’s some interesting drama imo.

So to point that t100 can’t bump up to 30 starters, they’ll just tighten the requirements to race next year. Wtcs and slt don’t fight for athletes, they for the most part work together and slt is more or less the “postseason all star” tour. But here IM and T100 are going to butt heads a ton and so I’ll be curious to see they pivot next year from t100. At some point the kids gloves will have to come off and force athleres to choose imo.

But at the same time if athletes racing all races end up with poor t100 scores, they’ll basically be filtered out next year anyways for likely athletes who are happy to go all in on t100 series (Wtcs athletes “graduating” out and/or 2 year non qualification Olympic period gives you some major flexibility).

What data is used for these race seedings? How does he get figure out times for specific disciplines? Some athletes have already raced multiple times this year while others haven’t yet raced.
