Ironman Hawaii 2017: Up close and personal with tri2b.com - Triathlon Hawaii - the Ironman World Championship

On 14 October, the best triathletes will meet in Kona on Hawaii for the Ironman World Championship, the triathlon that has long since achieved legendary status. Taking part is the big goal for every athlete, but winning this race with its very own rules is reserved for only a few. The triathlon portal tri2b.com has been there live with an editorial team for years and provides up-to-date reports.

Harald Eggebrecht, operator of the portal, was an active participant himself and utilises this knowledge and experience. The coverage begins ten days before the race. The athletes are accompanied during training, extensive photo stories show the path to day X. The comprehensive pre-race coverage also includes impressions of Hawaiian life, interviews with the favourites and the German triathletes are always in the spotlight. With Jan Frodeno, who has won in the past two years, Sebastian Kienle, winner of the Ironman Hawaii 2014, and Patrick Lange, who came third last year after a magnificent comeback in the marathon, the "Germans" are always in the spotlight.

tri2b.com has set itself the task of bringing the emotion and passion of this sport to the screens in its own way, following every single one of the 226 kilometres in the water, on the bike and in the marathon. In recent years, this service has been used and appreciated by many thousands of users. The Ironman Hawaii is also the highlight of an exciting triathlon season for the Allgäu-based portal.
