Who qualified for Kona at IRONMAN UK 2017?
Earlier this year I published a review of the top age-group athletes from IRONMAN UK 2017, highlighting the fastest amateur athletes and the individual age-group champions.
That was only part of the Age-Group story however. With the 2017 IRONMAN World Championships fast approaching, how fast did you need to go to secure a Kona slot from the 2017 race in Bolton? Below are the answers to that question for 2017 – and for the previous five editions too.
