Ironman Lake Placid 2021 – Analyzing Results

By on July 26, 2021 in IM Lake Placid

LP LogoRace Conditions & Course Records

There were some changes to the course this year, even so the bike leg was about as slow as in previous years. The swim and run weren’t fast either (even if not quite as slow as in 2019), leading to the slow times that are typical for Lake Placid. There were a few new “fastest times” for Lake Placid: Male winner Rasmus Svenningsson broke the 2019 bike course record and the 2017 overall course record.  Female winner Lisa Norden broke the old bike course record set by second-place finisher Heather Jackson in 2017.

Kona Qualifying

There were six Kona Pro slots on the line in Lake Placid. The result lists show 29 men and 18 women, this would result in 4 slots for the men and 2 for the women. These slots should go to

  • Men: Rasmus Svenningson, Kevin Portmann, Adam Feigh and Matt Russell
    and
  • Women: Lisa Norden and Joanna Ryter

Arnaud Guilloux, Joe Skipper and Heather Jackson were already qualified. You can find the full list of Pros already qualified here.

Kona slots and Prize Money

IM Lake Placid has 2m+2f +2u Pro Kona slot(s). It has a total prize purse of 100.000 US$, paying 10 deep. Based on my understanding of how Ironman assign these 2 extra slots, both will go to the me if they have at least 60% of all Pro starters on race morning. Currently, the male Pros have 41 of 68 Pros on the start list or 60,3% – which would mean a total of 4 slots for the men. But this very close and as there are a lot of names on the list who are unlikely to race, changes are to be expected. It remains to be seen where the slots will finally land, and we may have to wait until race morning for the final numbers to have a clearer picture.

Male Race Participants

The strength of the field is 22% of a typical Kona field.

Ironman Lake Placid 2019 – Analyzing Results

By on July 28, 2019 in IM Lake Placid

IMLakePlacidThis is a preliminary analysis that will be updated once I have the full results and splits.

Course Conditions

IM Lake Placid is a pretty slow course and this year it was probably even harder. An adjustment of -20:33 is the slowest we have ever seen on this course. This was mainly due to an extremely slow run, the run adjustment of -10:09 is reflected by the fastest run that was only 2:56:30 by Joe Gambles. The performance of the day was Matt Russell’s 4:27:27 bike split: It was more than ten minutes quicker than any other finisher’s bike split and broke one of the longest standing course records, Steve Larson’s 4:33 from 2001.

Kona Qualifying

IM Lake Placid 2019 has two Kona slots, these go to

  • Joe Gambles
    and
  • Mark Duelsen.

(Winner Matt Russell already secured his Kona slot at IM Frankfurt.)

Official slot allocation (and a rolldown in case one of those two declines his slot) will be on Monday.
