The start list for the women’s IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Marbella has been released, with three-time winner Taylor Knibb wearing the #1 bib.
Taylor Knibb, the winner of the last three years, tops the start list, but her participation is uncertain due to her recent exertions in Kona.
Start lists are always provisional, and this one is no exception, coming exactly four weeks after the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, where Knibb faced a heart-breaking end to her race.
Knibb came to a standstill deep into the run when looking set for victory in the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, due to the searing heat and humidity.
Other notable athletes, such as Britain’s Lucy Charles-Barclay, also faced similar challenges in Kona.
The women’s IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will take place in Marbella on Saturday, 8th November.
Author's summary: Taylor Knibb leads the start list for the women's IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
