The President\u2019s campaign to \u2018Make Kona Great Again\u2019 has been met with derision from the political sphere, with insiders puzzled as to how the POTUS will cope with the demands of training for a 2.4 mile sea swim, 112 mile cycle and 26.2 mile marathon run with no previous experience of racing endurance events, while simultaneously governing the United States.<\/p>\n

Morgan Biers, supposedly a close personal friend of Mr. Trump, commented: \u201cThey say that transition is triathlon\u2019s fourth discipline\u2026 but for my pal Donald being in charge of the world\u2019s largest economic superpower surely has to count as a fifth. If anyone can do it though, *blushes*\u2026 the President can!\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As entry to the World Championships is by qualification only, it is currently unclear how the President managed to secure his entry. Rumours that Mr. Trump actually travelled to one of Ironman\u2019s new 70.3 races in China to qualify were dismissed as \u201cfake news\u201d by the President himself, via a caps-locked Twitter post. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0According to an insider President Trump is confident of clinching another surprise victory in the 70-74 age category on the Big Island, although he has secretly expressed concerns about hitting the wall.<\/p>\n

Triathlonologist Timmy Tri said: \u201cPulling off one of the biggest shocks in modern political history counts for nothing when you\u2019re 18 miles into a sweltering hot marathon at one of the world\u2019s toughest endurance events. The President needs to ensure he stays on top of his nutrition and hydration, keeping a nice steady pace throughout\u2026 if he does hit that wall he\u2019s definitely going to be paying for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
