Ironman Brasil 2019 – Analyzing Results

NewImageCourse Conditions

This year appears to be one of the fastest ever in Florianopolis. Even if only the female winner Sarah Piampiano posted a “sub-X” finish time, there were a lot of athletes that posted a fast time compared to their previous performances.

But what a “sub-X” performance Sarah showed: She broke the overall course record (Sarah’s 8:40:49 improves on Susie Cheetham’s 8:52 from 2017), the bike course record (faster by three minutes than Jessie Donavan’s 2014 split) and also the run course record. Her 2:53:18 is better than the 2015 time by Ariana Monticelli (who received a doping ban for EPO in summer 2017). Sarah was also faster than male winner Andy Potts who ran a 2:53:40.

Kona Qualifying

The four slots are going to be assigned to:

  • Female Winner Sarah Piampiano
  • Male Winner Andy Potts
  • Male 2nd Will Clarke
  • Male 3rd Frank Silvestrin

Ironman Lanzarote 2019 – Analyzing Results

IMLanzaLogoCourse Conditions

Lanzarote has the image of one of the toughest races on the Ironman calendar, and this year underlined that point. While both the swim and the run were tough but pretty normal for Lanzarote, strong winds and a hard bike course led to very slow times on the bike, probably the toughest ever in Lanzarote.

There were no male bike times under five hours, and only female winner Nikki Bartlett was able to ride well under six hours on the female side. Overall, only winner Frederik Van Lierde and second place finisher Christian Kramer were able to finish under nine hours, while Nikki was the only female under ten hours.

Kona Qualifying

Lanzarote only had one male and one female slot, and both winners were not previously qualified. Therefore, the slots go to Nikki Bartlett and Fredrik Van Lierde.
