By Raymond Britt- To get to Kona, you need to qualify, and to qualify you need to win one of the very few Kona slots in your age group. For the 2012 season, we estimate 1662 slots are available from 28 Ironman races and 7 Ironman 70.3 races. See Ironman Qualifiers and Slots per Race 2011-2012. These are broken down into 80 slots for championship races like in Frankfurt, South Africa, and Texas. Normally it’s 40 for other races. Sometimes newer races will come in at a lower number. There’s one or two next year which have 25-30 slots. Ironman Philippines and two Chinese 70.3 races are examples.
Two-time U.S. Olympian Sarah True collapsed while leading in the last 100-degree mile of the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt, Germany, on Sunday.
True, who said she had a seven-minute lead, was carried off the course by four people after nine hours of racing.
She later said she could not remember the last two miles of the 140.6-mile competition (2.4-mile swim followed by a 112-mile bike and a marathon) and that the temperature was 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit).
“Sad, frustrated, a million different things,” True told Triathlonworld.com. “You never expect to be in the position where you have a seven-minute gap, and your brain doesn’t function well enough to tell you you’re struggling in the heat. Just stop and walk a little because I still would have won. When your brain goes in the heat, there’s not a lot you can do.”
True, 37, finished fourth at the 2012 Olympics, then switched to Ironman after being lapped at the Rio Games. She was fourth in her Kona Ironman World Championships debut last Oct. 13.
