How to Qualify for the IRONMAN World Championship - Part Two

Ali'i Drive, Dig Me Beach, The Queen K, Lave Java - the sights, sounds (and even coffee shops) of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, are the ultimate dream destination for many hundreds of thousands of triathletes around the world.

But... how do you qualify for the IRONMAN World Championship?

That's the question we put to multiple Kona-qualifier himself and now triathlon coach, Russell Cox (www.coachcox.co.uk). As well as spending many years training to get to Kona himself, and several more coaching others to get there, Russell has probably also spent more time than anyone we can think of analysing the statistics of Ironman results and the qualifying process.

In part one, Russell covered the logistics (how you qualify) to make it to Hawaii.

In this second piece, Russell looks at what it takes to qualify for Kona.
