Here is a good interview with Norman Stadler from slowtwitch. I think it gives a lot of insight into his training methods and rational for different strategies.
He had a great race at KONA. For a while I thought he might have it. Watching the coverage he looked really good until the cramping. I'm sure this is not the last we have heard from him.
On this past weekend, the NBC Ironman Hawaii broadcast featured Normann Stadler in a leading role - until a series of cramps on the run cut down the two-time champion from 1st place at the half marathon mark to an eventual 12th place finish. Thus for the second straight year, the man who signed a whopping great Dresdner Kleinwort contract after his second World Championship struggled through a disappointing finish at the only race that really counts.
