Ironman Cairns 2024 – Analyzing Results

CairnsRegionalLogoCourse Conditions

This year’s conditions were among the fastest there have ever been in Cairns, about seven minutes quicker than the long term average. This may have contributed to new course records set by winner Matt Burton, he improved almost ten minutes on Cameron Wurf’s bike course record from 2017 and about five minutes on the overall course record set last year by Braden Currie.

Nice and Kona Qualifying

As a Regional Championship, Cairns had four slots each for the women (Nice) and men (Kona). These will be offered to:

  • Lauren Brandon, Rebecca Clarke, Fiona Moriarty and Ai Ueda for the women, 
    and
  • Braden Currie, Mike Phillips, Arnaud Guillaux and Tristan Olij for the men.

The top three women (Hannah Berry, Lotty Wilms and Kylie Simpson) and men’s race winner Matt Burton were already qualified.

Ironman Cairns 2023 – Analyzing Results

CairnsRegionalLogoCourse Conditions

Conditions were a bit slower than in earlier years – about three minutes on the bike and two minutes on the run. With a faster swim, the overall times were about 3 and a half minutes slower. Nonetheless, we’ve seen a few new course records. Kylie Simpson posted new bike and run records (beating the old records by Sarah Crowley from 2022 and her own marathon record from 2021), she also set a new overall course record, beating Teresa Adams’ time from 2019. On the men’s side, Braden Currie set a new run course record, improving his own time from 2018.

Nice and Kona Qualifying

As a Regional Championship, Cairns offered four slots for each gender. As there were a number of athletes already qualified, these rolled down quite a lot, there must also have been a few declines and the last female slot wasn’t filled The slots were awarded to 

  • Ben Philipps (6th), Matt Burton (7th), Tuam Chun Chang (8th), Nathan Dorfmann (10th)
    for the men (Nice) and
  • Kate Gillespie-Jones (5th), Laura Brown (7th), and Sarah Thomas (8th)
    for the women (Kona).

You can find the full list of qualifiers here.
