Race 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.
