2014 Ironman Florida Pro Start List

With the 2014 Ironman World Championship now three weeks behind us, pros are already starting to think about how to qualify for the 2015 Kona event. This weekend’s P-2000 level Ironman Florida offers $25,000 of prize purse money and valuable qualification points. Ironman CEO Andrew Messick announced earlier this year that Ironman Florida is one of nine Ironman events that will not offer KPR points or prize money after 2014.

Kona runner-up Ben Hoffman (USA) highlights the men’s start list, with tough competition likely to come from Pedro Gomez (PRT), Lionel Sanders (CAN), Tom Lowe (GBR) and Maxim Kriat (UKR). For the women, 2012 Ironman world champion Leanda Cave (GBR) will look to dethrone defending champion Yvonne Van Vlerken (NED). Last year’s runner-up Ashley Clifford (USA) will also be competing.
