Ironman Chattanooga 2021 – Analyzing Results

September 27, 2021

Course Conditions

Conditions in Chattanooga were (almost) perfect for fast times: As usual the down-river swim was very quick, this was followed by a slightly faster than normal (for Chattanooga) bike leg even though the bike course was a bit longer this year (officially 116 miles). Compared to previous years, the run was a lot quicker: An adjustment of 2:53 isn’t quick for most courses but significantly faster than the run rating of -4:51 for Chattanooga.

A number of new course records were set this year. Male winner Joe Skipper set new marks on the bike (improving Sam Long’s 2019 bike leg by more than 9 minutes), on the run (beating Matt Hanson’s 2014 run course record by 3 and a half minutes) and overall. His 7:46 is more than 22 minutes quicker than the old course record set by Kyrill Kotshegarov in 2015. (The Top 4 were all under the old course record.) Female winner Skye Moench also set new bike and overall course records, beating Angela Naeth’s 2014 times by 6 minutes (bike) and 20 minutes (overall). She missed the run course record (still held by Lisa Roberts) by just 6 seconds. Skye’s time is also a new US and North American fastest finish for an IM-distance race.

Kona Qualifying

IM Chattanooga offered 2 male and 2 female Kona Pro slots for the October race, these go to

Lionel Sanders and
Ben Hoffman on the men’s side, and
Skye Moench and
Gurutze Frades Laralde on the women’s side.

Male winner Joe Skipper was already qualified. The full list of Pros qualified for October 2022 can be found here.

Ironman Austria 2022 – Analyzing Results

September 19, 2021

Course Conditions

IM Austria is traditionally a fast course, and with the winners going sub-9 and sub-8, this year was no exception (adjustment of 12:08). However, that was slower than the course rating for Austria (now at 17:48), and there were a lot of years with much faster conditions in 2014 and before.

There were a number of new course records. Most notably, female winner Laura Philipp broke Mirinda Carfrae’s 2016 run and overall course records. Laura’s 2:44 marathon was five minutes quicker and overall she improved the record by almost six minutes. On the men’s side, second-place finisher Rasmus Svenningsson improved on the 2015 bike record by Marino Vanhoenacker, and winner Denis Chevrot set a new run course record (breaking Marino’s 2011 marathon record).

Kona Qualifying

There was one male and one female Kona Pro slot available. These go to the winners

Denis Chevrot
and
Laura Philipp.

You can find the list of all athletes qualified for the October 2022 race in Kona here.
