Ironman Germany 2024 – Analyzing Results
Course Conditions
The main discussion item of this year’s edition of IM Germany was a shortened bike course. Officially, it was announced to be 177k, however the times were about 14 minutes quicker than in recent years when the course was slightly long (182k). That would put the course length at roughly 174k – and you can argue that the bike and overall times should not be counted as course records (or bests).
However, the marathon was on exactly the same course as in recent years, and I will accept Kristian’s fantastic 2:32 run split as a new run course record.
