IM Lanzarote

Course Conditions

IM Lanzarote is one of the toughest courses on the Ironman calendar. This year, some smaller course changes and favorable weather conditions may have contributed to some faster times, ten to fifteen minutes quicker than in some recent years. Female winner Anne Haug set new course records for the bike (previously Lydia Dant from 2022), run (previously by Kristin Liepold from 2013) and overall (previously Paula Newby-Fraser from 1995 – a mark that held for 29 years!). Matthew Palmer (currently living in Denmark and therefore shown on the tracker as Danish but with British nationality) set a new bike course record, improving Cam Wurf’s time from last year (on a slightly different bike course) by two and a half minutes. 

Nice and Kona Qualifying

Lanzarote has two slots each for the men (Kona) and women (Nice). These will be offered to:

• Jeanne Collonge and Lydia Dant for the women
  and
• Kenneth Vandendriessche and Jordi Montraveta Moya for the men.

In addition, Anne Haug validated her AG slot for Nice. You can find all qualifiers in this post.

Course Conditions

As usual, the finishing times in Lanzarote were very slow compared to other races. This year, conditions were maybe even slower than normal, on average the bike and run performances were the slowest we have seen since 2019. Having said this, it might come as a surprise that we’ve had an almost complete set of course records on the men’s side: Sam Laidlow swam faster Lucy Van Lierde in 2006, but as he DNF’d his course record time does not count. On the bike, Cam Wurf improved the 2010 bike course record set by Maik Twelsiek, then Arthur Horse set a new run course record (which was set only last year by Kenneth Vandendriessche). The first three finishers also posted a faster time than the 2011 course record set by Timo Bracht with winner Arthur Horseau setting the new mark of 8:22, ten minutes faster than Timo.

Nice & Kona Qualifying

Lanzarote offered two male slots (for Nice) and two female slots (for Kona). These go to

• Arthur Horseau and Niek Heldoorn and Oliver Martinussen for the men
  and
• Lydia Dant and Liesbeth Verbiest Jeanne Collonge and Hilary Hughes for the women.

Usually, the “rolldown meeting” (where Kona slots are assigned) just confirms the expected slot allocation for the Pros. Occasionally, an athlete declines a slot and it rolls down. At Lanzarote, there was some drama when winner Arthur Horseau was late and the slot rolled down to Oliver Martinussen. (More details in Arthur’s Instagram post and Triathlon Canada Magazine’s article by Kevin Mackinnon who was the announcer for Lanzarote.) There were also a few number of declines (and probably Pros not present) on the women’s side, here the slots rolled down to third place Jeanne Collonge and seventh Hilary Hughes. The full lists of qualifiers are available on my “Kona 2023” page.

Course Conditions

As always, IM Lanzarote was a hard race. An adjustment of almost -32 minutes means it was roughly 36 minutes slower than the recent World Championships St. George. The bulk of what makes slow is the bike course (-26 minutes), but the swim and run are also anything but quick. Even with these tough conditions, Lydia Dant set a new bike course record in her first full-distance race, she was four minutes quicker than Lucy Charles when she won in 2017. Male winner Kenneth Vandendriessche was able to set a new run course record, improving the old record set by Gerrit Schellens in 2005, also by four minutes.

Kona Qualifying

Lanzarote offered 2 male and 2 female slots. These will go to

• Els Visser and Elisabetta Curridori on the female side,
  and
• Kenneth Vandendriessche and Mathias Peterson on the male side.

It seems that Lydia Dant declined her slot. You can find all 2022 Kona qualifiers here.
