On Day 4 of the Kona Daily Pods, we sit down with two of the sport’s greatest champions — Daniela Ryf and Mirinda Carfrae — joined by host Jenny Fletcher to talk through the mental side of winning in Kona, how Lucy Charles finally broke through, and who they believe will rise as the next Ironman World Champion.
The conversation dives deep into:
🏆 What it really feels like to win Kona for the first time.
💭 The mental pressure that nearly broke them.
🔥 Their thoughts on Lucy Charles, Taylor Knibb, and Chelsea Sodaro.
🧠 The mind games they used before races.
👶 The comeback journey as mothers and mentors in the sport.
🌡️ Predictions for race day — and whether we’ll see a new champion crowned.
