@st_halvard Not too many races left after Olympics that qualify for 2021 - Frankfurt, Copenhagen, cutoff end of August. Iden is fine (no validation needed for 2021). Any more details?

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@planetatriatlon No validation needed for this Kona. So Jan&Gustav are good for 2021.

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@kramer_tria @Frasertri Yes, 5m & 3f Pro slots.

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@antoinejdtri Transitions are always a bit tricky ...
1. Make sure they are indeed included in one of the legs, i.e. Total close to s+b+r
2. Typically, T1 should be included in the bike and T2 in the run, but I don't think there's a hard rule for it.

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@antoinejdtri Oh, I'd love to see/comment on that study! Feel free to send to thorsten(at)trirating(dot)com.
We could also ask Felix for his comments if it helps your story.

Congrats to the winners Hannah Wells & @BradenCurrie and all finishers.

Kona Pro slots for rookies Hannah and Kyle Smith.

@webetho @Challenge_Famil @jodiestimpson @protriorg She had only two results at the end of 2020, should climb quite a bit now 😉

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@theamysaysso I've done an analysis at the end of 2016 https://t.co/Xe2iHRgvpB - basically a very slow increase between 2005 to 2016 (roughly 18% to 20%)

It was based on data from @russmcox, maybe he has some more current analysis?

The 2020 prize money list from @TriRating quantifies what we already knew: Pro were paid almost no prize money last year—with one big exception.

Almost reached one of my "triathlon life goals" with this episode by @Bob_Babbitt. Next step: Have a similar chat in the week before Kona in Kona (instead of just a Kona background)!

How much less prize money was there in 2020 Professional triathlon races?

Latest blog post at https://t.co/90u2QMGA93 with a lot more details and who have been the "top earners".

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@thecreativepenn Thanks.
My friend and I were looking for something so we could do "drop shipping" with Ingram but couldn't find anything. We just wanted to make sure that we haven't overlooked anything obvious 😃

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@thecreativepenn Are you selling any print copies on your own website or „just“ eBooks and audio?

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@alecriddle @bbculp From the IM website ... most races now paying 8 or 10 deep, and money has been shifted a bit to the lower ranks.

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

Ironman has posted most of the Professional Racing Schedule up to the end of Kona qualifying.
Check out at https://t.co/dCrrQKbYyA where things are at this point and who has already qualified. (Page will be updated as new information & race results become available.)

[Thorsten Radde @TriRating]

@James_Bale85 @MXEndurance @samrenoufpto @tjford14 @MaccaNow Thanks :-)
When I looked before, the episode hadn't yet made it over to the Apple feed, it's there now!
