Ironman France 2014 – Analyzing Results

February 26, 2017

Race Conditions

With an adjustment of 2:42, it was a pretty slow year for France. Apparently, the rainy conditions hurt all three disciplines, and especially the bike was very slow with an adjustment of -5:17 (apparently a lot of athletes crashed in rainy conditions on the descents in the second half of the race). Even though we saw Victor Del Corral running a 2:42 and the three top women posting sub-3h marathons, the run was also slower than last year (4:17 adjustment vs. 10:00 last year).

Male Race Results

Bart Aernouts won his first Ironman race with solid times across all three legs. As usual, Victor Del Corral had the fastest run leg, and Ty Butterfield took the last spot on the podium.

Female Race Results

The fastest bike leg enabled Tine Deckers to repeat her 2012 win. Super-runner Caitlin Snow made things interesting in the second half of the run as she closed the distance to Tine down to 39 seconds. Lisa Roberts had a solid race across all disciplines and finished third.

Ironman Austria 2014 – Analyzing Results

February 26, 2017

Race Conditions

Austria continues to be one of the fastest courses on the calendar, an adjustment of 25:24 leads to a new course rating of 19:32. Conditions were very similar to last year – a fast bike (adjustment of 10:40) followed by a similarly fast run (adjustment of 8:03).

Male Race Results

Ivan Rana put down the foot on the bike with a 4:15 split, and followed it up with an equally impressive 2:43 run. The rest of the podium was a bit of a surprise with Christian Kramer and David Plese posting some more fast runs.

Female Race Results

After erasing the swim deficit on the bike, Linsey Corbin’s win was never in doubt after she moved away from her competitors early in the run and posted a new course record. The first five of the women finished in sub-9, with Simone Brändli and Lisa Hütthaler taking up the remaining podium spots.
