Hey all, with the triathlon season gearing up, I thought I’d drop some thoughts on what to watch for if you’re looking to place a few bets. I’ve been digging into last year’s results, and a few patterns are starting to stand out. First off, athletes who dominate the swim leg tend to set the pace early—guys like Jensen and Carter are ones to keep an eye on. Their consistency in open water gives them an edge, especially on courses with choppy conditions. Transition times are another big factor; a smooth switch from bike to run can make or break a podium finish, so I’m looking at stats from last season to spot who’s got that dialed in.
For strategies, I’d say don’t sleep on the underdogs in longer races—endurance players like Moreno tend to shine when the field starts to fade. Weather’s going to play a role too; if it’s windy, the bike leg could shake things up, so check forecasts closer to race day. My early pick for the first big event? Jensen’s got a solid shot if he nails the swim again, but I’d hedge with a small bet on Moreno for a top-three finish. Anyway, just some food for thought—happy to hear what you all are seeing in the data too. Let’s make this season a good one for the books!
