IRONMAN Kalmar - English
-
The forth swimmer seems to be a female, the swim cap number 58 has been seen which would be Charisa Wernick from the US. #IMKalmar -
The leaders have another 1,800 km to swim. #IMKalmar
-
Right now there are strong headwinds on the swim course - but as soon as athletes have passed the turn the winds will be on their side.
-
About 20 people have dropped out of the race already. It really seems to be very rough out there! #IMKalmar
-
2157 athletes are in the race. They all fight against the strong winds and partly drift off the swim course. #IMKalmar
-
Patrik Nilsson and Karl-Johan Danielsson are in the lead. Another 400m meters to swim for them. #IMKalmar
-
The Kalmar sign is passed by all participants at #IMKalmar
-
The first 400 meters seem to be the roughtest one on the swim course. As soon as the swimmers are further out the sea gets calmer in Kalmar.
