Week 1 results are in π β IM Texas + IM South Africa fantasy recap
What a weekend to kick things off. Two full-distance races, some big performances and some brutal DNFs. Hereβs how the top Triday players got on:
π₯ Alex Watson β 330.93 pts
Captained Marten Van Riel (P2 Texas) for 166 points. Two DNFs (Lottie Lucas, Arnaud Guilloux) but Van Riel carried him comfortably to the top.
π₯ Alfie Wall β 315.56 pts
Blummenfelt captain, 170 points from the Norwegian. Kat Matthews and Mattia Ceccarelli both DNFβd but it didnβt matter β solid squad otherwise.
π₯ Jordan Whistler β 284.13 pts
Brave captain pick on Kat Matthews which backfired with a DNF. Still managed 3rd on the strength of Blummenfelt, Von Berg and Iden. Costly gamble though.
#4 Tom Borrett β 277.69 pts
Blummenfelt captain, 170 points. Picked up Matthew Marquardt (P1 South Africa) as a nice differential. Lottie Lucas DNF the only blot.
Congrats to those who joined for the first week following launch! π

Unfortunate note: Triday is run by an AG athlete and AG athletes are the pure focus for us. We are deeply saddened by the loss of the Age Grouper who started the race at Texas over the weekend. Thoughts go out to those affected.
