Ironman Italy 2023 – Analyzing Results

IMItaCourse Conditions

As usual, times in Italy were very quick. This years conditions did not seem to be quicker than in 2019 when most of the previous course records have been set. Tristan Olij posted a new bike course record (just over three minutes quicker than than 2019 time by Cam Wurf) and David McNamee a new run course record (more than ten minutes than Cam Wurf – who has now lost his only run course record). Winner Stenn Goetstouwers wasn’t too far behind these new course records and set a new overall course record.

Kona Qualifying

There was only one Kona slot in Italy which should go to winner Stenn Goetstouwers.

Ironman World Championships 2023 – Analyzing Results

IM23 WC NiceLogo Medal 1 large

Course Conditions

There are two interesting “comparison points” for this year’s IM World Champs.

First of all, the comparison to the course in Kona. Overall, the Nice course was about 27 minutes slower, mainly because of the hilly bike course which was nearly 28 minutes slower. If you apply this to Sam Laidlow’s times, he raced the equivalent of a 7:40 overall (Gustav’s win in 2022: 7:40:23) and a 4:04 bike split (his 2022 Kona course record: 4:04:35). The swim was about a minute quicker than in Kona, the run only by a few seconds – indicating that Patrick could have run a 2:33 in Kona!

The second comparison can be made to the course of IM France. Even with the lengthened bike course (estimated to be 8k longer than the 2022 and 2023 bike course), the World Championship field raced almost the same time as the June 2023 field (fastest bike in the summer: Cameron Wurf’s 4:31:51). The run course was reported to be slightly lengthened as well, still Patrick’s 2:32 blew away the old course record of 2:37 by Bart Aernouts from 2013.

Challenge Almere 2023 – Analyzing Results

AlmereRace Conditions

This year’s race in Almere was super-quick on the bike – the bike adjustment of 30:18 was a lot quicker than the average for Almere (16:18). This contributed to fast bike times especially for the women. The new bike course records are 4:02:12 for the men by Andrew Starykowicz and 4:23:07 for the women by Renee Kiley. Winner Menno Kohlhaas posted a new course record, even if he didn’t have the fastest time in any of the three legs.
