Jesse Thomas (USA), 32
Although the weather was fairly mild in 2011, the Ironman World Championship 70.3 course is capable of being one of the hottest, hilliest and windiest venues in the world. With conditions similar to the Wildflower Long Course Triathlon, where Thomas has dominated the past two years, the American may be primed to earn a spot on the podium. Thomas will need to come off the bike with the likes of Alexander and Raelert to be a top contender.
