The weather forecast for Kona on race day was going to be uncharacteristically cool and windless. That meant instead of infernal heat, it was just going to be very hot at around 29C average in the morning with 65% humidity, but still up in the mid 30’s with 80% plus humidity by mid afternoon. Still, this was good news for Michi. He performs at his best when it is cooler, typically between 20-30C.

- Ironman Chattanooga was a Male Pro only race in 2018, but in 2019 it is back to both men and women on the professional start line. Angela Naeth missed out on a Kona slot in 2019. After finishing in the top ten on the Big Island in 2018, Naeth suffered with a string of bad luck in races leading up to this year’s event.
- Nevertheless, he hung tough posting a 3h00 marathon time which required an all out sprint in the last 300m of the run to narrowly get ahead of the great Javier Gomez, which secured Michi his first ever top 10 finish in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii which comes just one month after a top 10 finish in the Ironman 70.3 World.

In the days before the race we had talked about the need to stay with a group in the swim, albeit at the back of the field, and not to get isolated this year. He managed this really well and actually had his best ever swim split on the Big Island exiting the water in 54’14” for the 3.8km iconic Ocean swim. At this point, even though Michi came out of T1 in dead last position, the time difference of 4 minutes to the group of main contenders was absolutely bridgeable with his current bike form. And so it proved, but it was not easy and to do so it required a truly stellar bike performance.
