In 2012, Leanda Cave became the first woman to win both the Ironman 70.3 World Championship and the Ironman World Championship in the same year. Leanda decided to hang up her professional racing shoes this year, so she joins us this year on Breakfast with Bob as a race spectator.
Helle Frederiksen was a dominant player on the half Iron distance scene, but the past few years have been plagued with injuries. This year she is here to take on Kona for the very first time.
The 2013 Ironman World Champion has had a great year and is hopeful he can get back to the podium.
