Ironman Florida 2020 – Analyzing Results

By Thorsten on November 7, 2020 in IM Florida

IMFlorida

Course Conditions

As usual, IM Florida has been quite fast, though an adjustment of 15:49 is a bit slower than the previous 22:12 course rating. Conditions were slower than normal in the swim (-4:08) and the run (-1:46) while the bike was about normal (21:43 in line with an 18:51 bike course rating)

The female winner, Katrina Matthews, was able to set a new overall course record: She was more than two minutes quicker than the old record of 8:43:07, set by Yvonne Van Vlerken in 2013. On the bike, Ruth Astle posted a 4:32:13, a new bike course record, beating the old record also by Yvonne in 2013. (Renee Kiley was even quicker but had to DNF with a run injury.)

Kona Qualifying

IM Florida has 6 Kona slots, at 24 male Pros and 17 female Pro starters, they should be split evenly.

The three male slots go to

Chris Leiferman,
Matt Hanson
and

Ironman Florida 2020 (Nov 7th) – Seedings

By Thorsten on October 30, 2020 in IM Florida

IMFlorida Update November 6th: Jocelyn McCauley is no longer on the latest startlist. Heather Jackson has also indicated that she won’t be in Panama Beach. I have crossed out their names in the seed tables below.
A further reduction in the number of female starters could impact the slot assignment: If the men have at least 60% of the Pro starters, both unassigned slots would go to the male Pros. With 25 male Pros, there’d have to be 13 or fewer female Pros. However, even without Jocelyn and Heather, there are still 18 female Pros on the start list, so an equal slot split still seems quite likely.
