Ironman Copenhagen 2019 – Analyzing Results

August 19, 2019

Course Conditions

The data does not indicate extremely fast conditions, an adjustment of 20:57 is in line with Copenhagens 20:51 course rating.

Nonetheless, Anne Haug delivered a crazy fast time. Her total of 8:31:32 is one of the fastest times ever, only Chrissie Wellington (twice in Roth), Daniela Ryf (once in Roth, once in Kona) and Lucy Charles (once in Roth) have ever been faster. Of course, this is a new course record and a new German fastest time. Her bike and run splits (4:37:28 and 2:57:26) are also new course records.

Kona Qualifying

Anne was finally able to validate her Automatic slot from finishing third on the Kona.

The one female slot that was available in Copenhagen went to third-place finisher Maja Stage Nielsen. (Second place finisher Camilla Pedersen already had a slot from her win at IM Wales.)

The full list of Kona Pro qualifiers can be found here.

Ironman Sweden 2019 – Analyzing Results

August 18, 2019

Course Conditions

Conditions in Kalmar have been blazing fast this year (adjustment of 31:04), resulting in a completely new set of course records.

In the swim, Alexander Berggren posted the fastest time of 43:50, but there were six athletes faster than the old record by Clemente Alonso from 2017. The 2017 bike time by Cam Wurf (4:14) is also no longer a course record: Boris Stein posted a 4:03:08 – only Andy Starykowicz has ever ridden a faster time in an Ironman. Denis Chevrot improved the run course record, even if “only” by 12 seconds.

The overall course record was broken as well – in fact we saw the first seven sub-8 finishes ever in Sweden! Boris Stein’s 7:49:14 is now the new course record and also the fastest IM finish in 2019. Mathias Peterson’s 7:52:29 finish in third place is now the fastest Ironman debut (the old record was held by Brent McMahon with a 7:55 at Arizona 2014). He also broke the Danish national record, which was set by Rasmus Henning when he won Challenge Roth 2010 in 7:52:36

Kona Qualifying

The single Kona Pro slot in Kalmar goes to race winner Boris Stein. The full list of Kona Pro qualifiers can be found here.

70.3 World Championships 2019 in Nice, France (Sept 7th and 8th) – Entry List

August 16, 2019

For now, the list reflects the athletes that have qualified and accepted their slots (minus very few withdrawals already processed). I expect about 50 athletes for each gender once the bib list is released and even fewer actually starting on race day. When information about athletes not racing becomes available, I will cross out the names on this list until the bib list is released by Ironman.

Athletes also qualified for this year’s Kona are marked with “KQ”.

Prize Money

70.3 World Championships have a total prize purse of 250.000 US$, paying 10 deep.
