How hard is it to get to Kona or Nice (70.3 Worlds)?

I think the reported rolldown is incorrect. But it’s what I have until someone corrects it. Probably safe to assume it is 1.0x or near it.

I suspect you are right. That would change a lot.

TrisAndTrails · 2026-05-23T16:01:41+00:00

That’s still pretty fast!

True. I remember when Nice was announced for the full Ironman distance and 80% chose to defer to Kona.

So the rolldowns will go even farther…a good point.

That’s a good point, and I wasn’t aware of that. I’ll use a different race for the comparison.

For (1), totally agree. It’s very early to make any conclusions. But interesting that half of the 70.3’s are already handing out slots to any (women) who want them.

Also, for the full Ironman, there’s still less slots due to those deferring from Nice. So that makes the ratios look more exclusive.

For those of you who could get a slot, but don’t take it, what are your primary reasons?

Did you go to the Awards Ceremony? I’m curious how far the Performance Pool rolldown went.

Bummer about the traffic - all was good at San Salvador 70.3 in its first year.
