Course Conditions

With these reduced distances the race was allowed to go ahead. Winners Carrie Lester and James Cunnama were able to grab the Kona slots.

Ironman France 2018 – Analyzing Results

IMFrance_Logo

Course Conditions

As last year, the conditions on Nice were very slow. This year both the swim and the run were slower than in the past, while the bike was slow (but still a bit faster than last year).

The 2018 race saw two new bike course records. Cam Wurf improved on Frederik Van Lierde’s 2013 bike by just over a minute, while Corinne Abraham was 1:18 quicker than Tine Deckers’ bike leg from 2016. Corinne also took the overall record from Tine’s finishing time from 2014.

Kona Qualifying Implications

There are a couple of athletes who significantly improved their chances for a Kona slot:

  • Safe: Manon Genet, Lisa Roberts
  • On the bubble (could be enough depending on the remaining races): Romain Guillaume
  • Close (but more points needed): Corinne Abraham, Andrej Vista, Giulio Molinari

A number of other athletes already had safe slots (Carrie Lester, Mel Hauschildt, Cameron Wurf, Antony Costes, Frederik Van Lierde)

Ironman France 2018 (June 24th) – Seedings

Update June 19th: Removed a few athletes as they are no longer on the latest start list (Braden Currie, Bryan McCrystal, Heather Jackson, Helena Herrero) or have posted on social media that they won’t be racing (Boris Stein).

Female Race Participants

Heather Jackson is posted in the official start list (bib #62), but she has written on her blog that she decided to race IM Lake Placid. She confirmed to me that she won’t be racing in France. I am therefore posting the seedings (including the odds) as if she is not part of the field. (Update: June 19th: She’s no longer on the latest start list.)

The strength of the field is 11% of a typical Kona field.

Kona Qualifying

With just two more full months of racing before the first cutoff for Kona qualifying, here’s a look at what the male athletes will need to reach the projected cutoff of 3.500 points:

  • Win (2000 pts): Markus Thomschke
  • 2nd (1600 pts):  Giulio Molinari, Braden Currie (also on the list for Cairns)
  • 3rd (1280 pts): Romain Guillaume, Andrej Vistica
  • 4th (960 pts): TJ Tollakson
  • “Just finish”: Boris Stein
  • Already safe: Cameron Wurf, Antony Costes, Frederik Van Lierde (AQ)

The female cutoff will be around 4.400 points, that higher number can only be reached by a few women:

  • 6th (540): Lisa Roberts
  • 8th (305 pts): Manon Genet
  • “Just finish”: Heather Jackson (but likely racing in Lake Placid)
  • Already safe: Melissa Hauschildt, Carrie Lester
