Kings & Queens of Kona 2017 Series - Camilla Pedersen (DK) . . . .................................................. Multiple Ironman Winner Camilla was flying on all cylinders until a bike accident on a training ride 4 years ago in September 2013 left her in an induced coma for 3 weeks. She broke the hip, contracted a skull fracture and had critical internal bleeding, threatening both her life and career … With a dream of reaching the Kona podium and having a ‘never give up’ attitude, Camilla has carried on dominating her races since climbing out of her hospital bed and was back to fitness.. by April the following year she competed and won at Challenge Fuerteventura half. A consitent top perfomer, she has more NUMBER 1 podium’s - than any other result - in her results list since starting her career in 2011, it’s like she’s never waivered from form… her motto is “Winners Never Quit, Quiters Never Win”, and don’t we know. A truly humble person and a truly great athlete, I hope her dream comes true. #camillapedersen #canyon #garmin #redbull #ClublaSanta #bluewatershipping #dstchemicals #nortec ..................................................

Kings & Queens of Kona 2017 Series - Lionel Sanders (CAN) . . . .................................................. Lionel is like a dog with a fresh bone... and once his out on the bike course he's gonna rag-it to death.. this guy is all-in and full-on.. even his training he takes to the extreme.. but all he want is to be the best he can be. A former drug addict turned pro triathlete, taking one addiction and changing it in to another. Just brilliant. Proof that sport can change lives.... With many wins this year, and with one of the most memorable being the showdown at the Challenge Champs in Samorin, the toe to toe battle with Sebi Kienle was gripping. (Check the Youtube video of the run, it's edge of the sofa stuff) ... As for Kona, Lionel has always professed to being a slower swimmer than the main pack, but he makes his mark once he gets on his Garneau Gennix Tr1, a serious power house - and if he plays his cards right on the day - could see Lionel battling for a top spot on the run course. . #lionelsanders #garneau #freshi #skechersperformance ..................................................

This will be the first time Maja will be competing in Kona, after qualifying with a 2nd at IM Mallorca and a 3rd at IM Texas... Danish pro triathlete, Maja, has been following her dreams since she was 10 paying Golf through her younger and teenage years, eventually playing for the national team at 16 and moving through the ranks. At 21 she packed it all in and moved to Lanzarote where she discovered triathlon alongside studying to be a Physio. She says her swim isn't the strongest, so stuck with half distance tri's and duathlons- winning a few European Champs medals along the way - eventually competing in her first ever Ironman distance race this year and coming second (IM Mallorca). . #majastagenielsen #cervelo #skechersperformance #2xu ..................................................

Kings & Queens of Kona 2017 Series - Corinne Abraham (UK) . . .................................................. Having struggled with injury in the past, the 2017 race season has been one of Corinne's most consistent yet, having took 2nd spot on over 3 Ironman's and a 2nd spot in 70.3 Gdynia, it would seem Corinne is firing on all cylinders again. Racing for the @pewagracingteam, she's coached by the legendary Brett Sutton, so it's no wonder she's back at the 'business end' of the races. . #corinneabraham #storck #pewag #castelli #trisutto ..................................................

King & Queens of Kona 2017 Series - Harry Wiltshire (UK) . . . . . . Firstly, congratulations to @harrywiltshire1 for winning the 3.8km Hoala Training Swim, on the #IMWorldChampionship swim course, in what was a tight field. Winning in 48:43 with only a minute separating the top 10, which included the likes of @lucycharles93, @reecebarclaytri Tim Don and Eneko Llanos. .......................... Harry is no stranger to Kona, and certainly no stranger to coming first out of the swim - last year out-sprinting Jan Frodeno to exit the water in 1st position. Can Harry repeat another fast swim and take the early lead on next weekends race day? #harrywiltshire #huub #cervelop5 #lazerhelmets .......................

The current World’s Number One, the-man-to-beat, the top seed and the man who’s been tipped by most pundits to win it the Ironman World Championships once again … The triathlon world will be watching this Saturday to see if he will make a hat-trick of World Championship wins, the first athlete to do so since Mark Allen (‘89 to ‘95) & Dave Scott in (‘82-’87). . . A word from James Mitchell Photography: “It’s be a brilliant couple of weeks digging through my pics from this year, and thanks to Thorsten Radde at TriRating, it’s been inspiring researching everyone race bio’s and results. I wish everyone - more specifically the people I know personally or have photographed this year - a really great race at Kona 2017.

Kings & Queens of Kona 2017 Series - Michelle Vesterby (DK) . . . .................................................. Michelle’s mantra is ‘Keep Smiling’ - in her own words “Two simple words that represent my way of living. Life isn’t always worth smiling at, but if you meet the world with an open and positive mind, you’ll get so much more out of it.” Since winning IM Lanzarote back in 2012, Michelle’s career has gone on from strength to strength.. With wins at IM Copenhagen 2015 & 17, IM Cozumel 2016 and her home race again in 2017. Not only is she a strong swimmer and strong biker, Michelle is also coached by legendary two-time world champion @lucvanlierde, so expect to see Michelle mixing it up at the front, if she can improve that marathon time by a few mins, she could be in contention for a top podium slot. .. #michellevesterby #cannondale #garmin #sugoi #CEP #clublasanta #vision #onrunning #keepsmiling ..................................................
