Race Conditions

This was the first time for Challenge Taiwan, and the feedback for the race was pretty good. Based on the times, the course was medium fast  (adjustment of 8:11, comparable to France or Arizona), mainly on the strength of a fast bike course – a bike adjustment of 14:08 indicates that the course might have been a bit short.

Male Race Results

Dylan McNeice made it two for two: After winning the slow Challenge Wanaka he also won the faster Challenge Taiwan. He’s further improved his rating, it’ll be interesting to see how he’s going to do in a stronger field. (In his IMTalk interview he mentioned that he plans to race Challenge Roth.)

Female Race Results

On the female side, Belinda Granger managed to win another IM-distance race (“didn’t think I had one more in me”). Hillary Biscay also had a “super fun” day finishing in second, managing to beat Kate Bevilaqua who had a “frustrating day”.

The next Ironman is coming up. After the big race in Melbourne, Port Macquarie struggles a bit to come up with a decent field. So far, the race doesn’t seem to have much appeal to athletes outside of Australia or New Zealand. Looks like a good chance to sneak into the field for a podium finish, even if the race only has a 1.000 points for the winner and a total price purse of 25k$.

Race Conditions

The conditions in South Africa seem to be pretty good – I calculated an adjustment of 6:24, mainly based on a pretty quick run (9:31). After last year’s very rough swim conditions, this year conditions were better but still relatively slow (-2:05) – typical for a cold ocean swim. 

Male Race Results

Ronnie Schildknecht was in the lead for most of the day and won in a convincing fashion, leading the race for most of the day. Cyriel Viennot and Bas Diederen ran their way onto the podium:

Female Race Results

For the longest time, the story in the women’s was about Jodie Swallow: She led after the swim, then posted a Chrissie-level bike ride and started the run very strong. Around the 25k mark she started to have some issues and her pace dropped. (She still finished with a performance that would be wort a TOP 10 rating.) Jessie Donovan (posting the best run of the day) managed to overtake Jodie. She’s won her last three IMs (Lake Placid, Mont Tremblant and now South Africa) but is still not very well known. Not sure what her plans are, it will be interesting to see how she will do in a strong field. The podium was rounded off by Lucie Zelenkova-Reed.
