IM Italy

Course 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.

Course Conditions

The race had to be postponed by one days when there was a severe weather warning for the original race day on Saturday. With the really fast bike times, it seems that may have resulted in shortened bike and run courses which means that I’m probably not going to accept these times as course records.

Course Conditions

This year’s race in Italy was fast (adjustment of 22:26) compared to the two years before (average of 7:56, so about 14:30 quicker). As usual the majority of this “fastness” comes from the bike (close to 9 minutes) but also on the run (about 6 minutes). Just for a fun comparison, the run was about 9 minutes quicker than the average Kona marathon …

The winners posted fast times (the first sub-8 and sub-9 finishes) and a few new course records: Carolin Lehrieder set a new bike course and overall course record, improving last year’s times by Daniela Bleymehl. Cam Wurf not only posted new bike and overall records (previously held by 2017 winner Andi Dreitz and 2018 winner Andi Boecherer) but also a new run course record (his 2:45 improved on the 2017 time by Jens Petersen-Bach). Apparently, an age grouper ran even faster: Mikael Gaudin ran a 2:43:37 to finish in  8:43:05 to win the M35. In addition, Joanna Ryter ran the first sub-3 marathon and set a new run course record.

Cam’s 7:46:45 is the fastest IM finish in 2019 and also a new Australian national and Oceania continental record.
