Ironman Hawaii 2016 – Always Up To Date Pro Startlist

February 26, 2017

After all Kona slots have been accepted, here is the preliminary start list for Kona 2015. There can still be some changes to the list – some athletes may get injured and decide not to start after all. There may be a few day in early September for a slot to roll down, but not closer to the race – that slot will just be gone then. I will update this list if any slots are declined or athletes announce that they won’t start. I will also update the list once Ironman assigns bib numbers. For now the lists are sorted according to the final ranking in the KPR at the end of August qualifying (Q denotes a July qualifier, q an August qualifier, AQ an Automatic qualifier, and d an athlete that declined a slot in August).

I provide a lot more details on the race and the participants in my free “Kona Rating Report” which you can already order at https://gum.co/Kona2016.

Update Aug 25th: I’ve updated the list to reflect the slots rolled down to Callum Millward and Michaela Herlbauer.

Update Sept 17th: The bib numbers have been announced, and Natascha Badmann has received a wildcard to end her Pro career (also see my post on her 2016 season).

Update Sept 23rd: Pete Jacobs has withdrawn: PeteTweet

Update Aug 28th: Mareen Hufe has announced that she won’t be able to race Kona for “health reasons”.

Update Aug 29th: Natascha Schmitt also won’t be able to start. She canceled her flight to Kona when instead of recovering from IM Mallorca she got an infectious stomach bug that with forced bed rest.

Inofficial August Kona Pro Slots

August 27, 2016

Here is my calculation of the KPR at the end of August, deciding the final 10 male and 7 female slots (in addition to the July qualifiers). My results are unofficial, the official results will be posted on the Ironman website at http://eu.ironman.com/triathlon/triathlon-rankings/points-system.aspx (but as far as I can tell shows the same data). I will update this post with new information regarding declined slots and rolldown. For now, the athletes with a rank in brackets (e.g. “(11)”) are outside of the August slots. I will update this post with information about slot declines and rolldowns.

Update Aug 22nd: Annah Watkinson announced that she will decline her slot, it rolls down to Michaela Herlbauer:

Update Aug 23rd: Callum Millward has received a roll-down slot from Chris Leiferman.

Update Aug 26th: All slots have been accepted, there have been no further rolldowns.

Ironman Sweden 2016 – Analyzing Results

February 26, 2017

Race Conditions

This year’s IM Sweden was one of the faster editions of this race, indicating that the wind conditions were quite favorable. But as it was a WPRO only race and there were only three previously rated PRO athletes, the strength of this analysis is not very high.

Race Results

Kristin Möller was able to hold the distance to the front on the bike, and the race best 2:55 marathon (second fastest of all year so far!) allowed her to win by a comfortable margin.

Rank	Name	Nation	Swim	Bike	Run	Time	Diff to expected	Prize Money
1	Kristin Moeller	GER	01:02:48	05:12:09	02:55:09	09:14:39	01:38	US$ 20000
2	Lucie Reed	CZE	00:54:03	05:11:35	03:11:11	09:21:31	-03:30	US$ 10000
3	Carolin Lehrieder	GER	00:57:47	05:01:25	03:22:15	09:24:30	-01:39	US$ 6500
4	Julia Montgomery	SWE	01:06:49	05:13:43	03:40:08	10:05:04	n/a	US$ 4000
5	Jessica Ahlund	SWE	01:02:46	05:27:26	03:56:48	10:31:03	n/a	US$ 3000

KPR Situation

With her win after a lot of racing in July, Kristin finally secured an August Kona slot.

Challenge Regensburg 2016 – Analyzing Results

February 26, 2017

Race Conditions

This was the first race for Challenge Regensburg, all the individual legs were relatively slow and the resulting adjustment of 3:17 is comparable to IM Cairns or IM France.

KPR Situation Before the Last Races for Kona 2016

August 22, 2016

The final races for 2016 qualifying are going to be on the upcoming weekend of August 21st. While the last 70.3 at Timberman sees athletes already qualified or too far back, there are a of athletes looking for slots in the final three full-distance Ironman races (Mont Tremblant, Sweden as WPRO only and Copenhagen as MPRO only). The races on August 28th are already part of the 2017 qualifying period. This post looks at the final slots to be decided based on the rankings before the last weekend and the start lists posted on the Ironman website.

After the races are over, I’ll post the unofficial rankings based on my calculations as soon as possible.

Women

Based on the current situation, the first three of the remaining slots will go to Mary Beth Ellis, Saleta Castro and Bianca Steurer.

Here is a table at the athletes currently in the qualifying slots and those that are still able to move into the Top 7 August slots:

Rank	Name	Country	Points	Races	Race Plan	Needed
4	Schmitt, Natascha	DEU	4.060	1+3 (2455/500)
5	Watkinson, Annah	ZAF	3.890	2+3 (1070/180)
6	Herlbauer, Michaela	AUT	3.865	3+2 (305/140)
7	Lidbury, Emma-kate	GBR	3.695	3+2 (720/125)
10	Badmann, Natascha	CHE	3.325	3+2 (230/135)	IM Sweden	5th
11	Moeller, Kristin	DEU	3.315	3+1 (170/515)	IM Sweden	5th
15	Stevens, Amanda	USA	2.925	2+3 (720/145)	IM Mont Tremblant	4th
23	Wassner, Laurel	USA	2.405	2+3 (340/75)	IM Mont Tremblant	2nd
43	Bevilaqua, Kate	AUS	1.775	1+3 (540/400)	IM Mont Tremblant	Win

(Please note that “Needed” is the minimum result needed for qualifying, however it does not assure a slot when others add points as well.)

Men

The men’s situation is a lot more dynamic. Here’s a table looking at the athletes on the bubble and those that still have a chance to pass Paul Matthews who is currently in the last qualifying spot:

Rank	Name	Country	Points	Races	Race Plan	Needed
