Race Conditions

IM St. George is one of the slowest courses on the IM calendar. This year was not much different with an adjustment of  negative 0:27 and also with a number of good athletes (almost all “names” on the female side) dropping out of the race. However, this year’s results are a bit strange – the top of the field posted solid results, usually quite a bit faster than their expected time (look for the “green names” in the results further down). In contrast to that, the bottom half of the field was a lot slower than expected. I’m not sure why that would be the case – maybe the hot temperatures took a while to build up and then hit the “slower” racers much harder than the quick ones. Another theory is that those athletes accustomed to hot and dry weather were able to race well, but those not acclimatized ran into big problems and ended up on the bottom of the field. Hard to tell ..

As a result of this, I’m a bit torn on how to rate this race – and as long as I’m not sure of that, it’s tricky to figure out how to do the proper calculation of the adjustment. I’ll probably add in a max difference in a single result that forms the basis of the calculation in the next version of the methodology.

Male Results

Last year winner and pre-race favorite Michael Weiss had to drop out of the race after the bike, and there was a big battle between the other top rated athletes – with Mathias Hecht barely edging out Maik Twelsiek for the win. In another close fight, TJ Tollakson took the third podium spot – apparently after almost dropping out after feeling not-so-good after the first part of the run, but then running down Ben Hofman and Mike Aigroz.

Female Results

Heather Wurtele managed to defend her title. She was the only one of the “big names” who completed the race The other podium contenders dropped out and she won by 36 minutes and was the only one in the women’s field to race quicker than her expected time.

Next up on the IM calendar is one of the newest races: IM St. George in Utah. After the small pro field at IM Australia, we’ve got a few more participants on the start list. Here is an overview of the predictions, each athlete’s results can be found in the IM St. George details post.

Previous Results

Last year was the first IM race in St. George.

Here are the top 3 pros:

1	Michael Weiss	AUT	08:40:08
2	Ben Hoffman	USA	08:52:54
3	Chris McDonald	AUS	08:54:42

 

Rank	Name	Nation	Time
1	Heather Wurtele	CAN	09:35:26
2	Meredith Kessler	USA	09:46:58
3	Caitlin Snow	USA	10:07:26

The race was really slow, it resulted in an adjustment of –2:55 (yes, negative 2:55!). I’ve got a handful of such  slow races in the database, but one thing is sure: Don’t expect a quick race next Saturday!

Men’s Predictions

There are nearly 30 men on the start list:

Last year’s winner is back (and the top rated athlete), but last year’s second Ben Hoffmann has been displaced by better rated Maik Twlsiek (my personal favorite athlete!) and Mathias Hecht for the podium spots in the prediction. There is a ton of pretty closely rated athletes, so it looks like it’s going to be an interesting race.

Women’s Predictions

As with the men, last year’s winner Heather Wurtele is back and tops the predictions:

Rank	Name	Nation	Expected Time	Rating	Rank
1	Heather Wurtele	CAN	09:50:25	09:47:15	21
2	Meredith Kessler	USA	09:54:33	09:51:22	29

12	Jackie Arendt		n/a	unrated	n/a
13	Amber Ferreira		n/a	unrated	n/a

As for the men’s race, it promises to be quite interesting with a nice number of similarly rated athletes. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for my country woman Andrea Steinbecher, who won IM Germany a few years back under her maiden name of Andrea Brede and has had a few struggling years.

Race Conditions

The reports from IM Australia indicated that the conditions were quite hard, with a heavy wind making the bike and run pretty hard when having to attack it head-on. This is borne out by the race results. Before the race, the course was rated 12:14 (i.e. 12:14 faster than a normalized course). This year’s results resulted in an adjustment of 9:30, so conditions were about 3 minutes slower than usually in Australia.

Male Results

The men’s field was not very deep, but after Craig Alexander’s cancellation a few days before the race the race was wide open. It even seemed possible that Patrick Vernay might be able to continue his winning streak. In the end, however, it was Pete Jacobs who scored his first IM win:

Rank	Name	Nation	Actual Time	Expected Time
1	Pete Jacobs	AUS	08:29:28	08:37:27
2	Patrick Vernay	NCL	08:35:50	08:28:31
3	Jason Shortis	AUS	08:46:07	08:47:39
4	Scott Neyedli	GBR	08:47:16	08:55:25
5	Courtney Ogden	AUS	08:49:56	08:44:37
6	Luke Whitmore		08:54:57	n/a
7	Scott Curry	CAN	09:06:31	09:15:25
8	Chris Dmitrieff	AUS	09:39:26	09:02:06
9	Adam Holborow	AUS	09:40:49	09:12:55

Pete Jacobs continued his streak of strong race results, Patrick Vernay was just a little bit off but managed a 2nd place. 40-year old Jason Shortis almost exactly raced according to predictions and held off Scott Neyedli, whose good time wasn’t quite good enough for the podium.

The most interesting consequence of the race may be the changes to Crowie’s future race plans: He has to finish one Ironman to validate his Hawaii spot, and my prediction is that he will do an early race as soon as he is over his infection. Maybe he’ll be a late addition to IM Texas? (IM China may be good conditions for him – i.e. hot -  but probably “too hard” for what he is trying to achieve.)

Female Results

Rank	Name	Nation	Actual Time	Expected Time
1	Caroline Steffen	SWI	09:29:54	09:28:45
2	Amelia Pearson	AUS	09:38:23	10:03:08
3	Nicole Ward	AUS	09:49:23	10:08:16
4	Kirsten Molloy	AUS	09:53:55	10:08:46
5	Erin Spitler		10:08:33	n/a

Expected time is based on athlete’s rating (prior to race) and race conditions.

I don’t think there ever was any doubt that Caroline Steffen would win this race as long as she finishes. She seemed to have some issues during the race, but finished right where I expected her. If she can enjoy a good Hawaii prep, she is certainly a contender for a podium finish, even if she seems to be not quite on the same level of Chrissie or Rinnie.
