Who will win 2013 IRONMAN European Championship? 3athlon's predictions...

Every year around Kona, I like to forecast some racing action and usually predict top 10 female and male finisher. The 2013 Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship (indeed a long title) attracted a strong and deep field. Probably the best field ever in Europe or at least in 2013 except Kona. OK, here we go - no explanations. Just my gut feeling and hopefully no pro is getting mad and angry.
Defending female champion Caroline Steffen is taking a break from racing in Frankfurt am Main. Another chance for other  pros Screenshot: World Triathlon Corporation
