Ironman World Championship Kona Special | The GTN Show Ep. 61

This week's GTN Show is a Kona special. We check out the new Specialized Shiv, talk to pro triathletes about the race, and discuss who will be the 2018 Ironman World Champions!

We are just a few days out from the big event, the Ironman World Championships. Who is going to take those top spots here in Hawaii?! To give us a little insight into the race, we’re going to be talking to a few pro triathletes that have some experience here.

As well as our Kona specific content, we still have our usual segments including the race news, caption competition and GTN fan content.

The sub 8 hour barrier will not be broke this year... I’d love to see it happen but I have a feeling Kona this year is going to be full of surprises.

I saw Heather filming yesterday before the ironman parade and it started raining - and not just a little sprinkling but like dumbing kind of curious if that footage will be used??

Second GTN show involving lawn chairs where Heather goes off script and keeps it REAL. I think the last one was a lava field in Lanzarote? Love it! Let’s give her a weekly open mic segment. Just her, a mic and a lawn chair. Fell’s Tells.
