Ironman Chattanooga 2019 – Analyzing Results

IMChooCourse Conditions

With an overall adjustment of -1:23, this year saw the slowest conditions ever for Chattanooga (new course rating of 8:26). The swim was quick as usual, the bike a little bit on the slow side, but the run seemed to be very challenging (adjustment of- 12 minutes!), evidenced by the fastest marathons being 3:06s by Matt Russell and Sam Long and a 3:10 by Lisa Roberts.

Sam Long laid the basis for his win with a new bike course record, his 4:23 broke Marino Vanhoenacker’s 4:27 record time from 2016.

Kona Qualifying

IM Chattanooga had two qualifying slots, these go to the winners

  • Sam Long
    and

Announcing the Kona 2019 Rating Report

2019 TitlePage Kona Report Tight

For the 2019 Ironman World Championships in Kona on October 12th I have released a 150+-page Rating Report with tons of information:

  • Detailed results and analysis of last year’s race
  • Information about the Kona course, top Kona finishers and the current course records
  • A summary of Pro qualifying and who will be on the startline
  • How the race may unfold and what to watch for during the race
  • The Kona 2019 start list and my predictions and odds for the Pro athletes
  • Details about all Pros including their input and a lot of photos

The Report is available for free, but it would be great if you can support my work before Kona and during the year by donating an amount of your choice. (For comparison, triathlon magazines sell for about $8.)

The Kona Rating Report is the ideal information to have when following the Ironman Kona coverage!

Ironman Italy 2019 – Analyzing Results

IMItalyCourse Conditions

This year’s race in Italy was fast (adjustment of 22:26) compared to the two years before (average of 7:56, so about 14:30 quicker). As usual the majority of this “fastness” comes from the bike (close to 9 minutes) but also on the run (about 6 minutes). Just for a fun comparison, the run was about 9 minutes quicker than the average Kona marathon …

The winners posted fast times (the first sub-8 and sub-9 finishes) and a few new course records: Carolin Lehrieder set a new bike course and overall course record, improving last year’s times by Daniela Bleymehl. Cam Wurf not only posted new bike and overall records (previously held by 2017 winner Andi Dreitz and 2018 winner Andi Boecherer) but also a new run course record (his 2:45 improved on the 2017 time by Jens Petersen-Bach). Apparently, an age grouper ran even faster: Mikael Gaudin ran a 2:43:37 to finish in  8:43:05 to win the M35. In addition, Joanna Ryter ran the first sub-3 marathon and set a new run course record.

Cam’s 7:46:45 is the fastest IM finish in 2019 and also a new Australian national and Oceania continental record.

Kona Qualifying

IM Italy had one male and one female Kona slots, these go to the winners

  • Carolin Lehrieder
    and
