IM Malaysia

Course Conditions

The conditions in Malaysia have always been tough, and this year was quite typical: The heat and humidity makes the run especially hard. The last race in Langkawi was five years ago, and there were a number of new course records set. On the men’s side, Fernando Toldi broke the old run course record by Javier Gomez and the old, overall course record by Bryan Rhodes from 2002 – by eleven seconds! In the female race, winner Regan Hollioake set a new swim, bike and overall course record, while Ktie Remond set a new run course record.

Nice and Kona Qualifying

Ironman Malaysia had two slots each for the men (Nice) and women (Kona). These will be offered to

• Fermando Toldi and Filipe Azevedo for the men
  and
• Regan Hollioake and Katie Remond for the women.

Tim Van Berkel declined his slot. You can find the full list of 2025 qualifiers on this page.

Course Conditions

The heat and humidity of Malaysia make the race quite slow and a lot of athletes commented that this year’s run was especially hard for them. The run adjustment of -7:46 is a clear indication of a tough run, but if anything even a bit easier than normal for Malaysia. The overall adjustment was -2:55 with a relatively quick bike of 4:11. The tough conditions probably contributed to the female race leader Jocelyn McCauley dropping out short of the 30k mark on the run with dehydration, needing medical attention according to the Ironman Live blog.

There are a few new course records set in today’s race: Philipp Koutny set a new record for the bike, improving Marino Vanhoenacker’s 2010 bike split of 4:21:01. Javier Gomez’ marathon of 2:54 is a new run course record – the old record dates back to 2006 (2:56:27 by Jason Shortis), indicating how hard it is to run even a sub-3 marathon (or a sub-3:20 for the female Pros). I’ve seen a few posts that claimed Javier’s overall finishing time of 8:18 as a new course record, however I still have the 2002(!) winning time of 8:10 by Bryan Rhodes as the course record (though the course might have changed since then).

Course Conditions

Ironman Malaysia is typically a slow course because of the heat and humidity, this year even more so than in the past: The adjustment of -11:33 was even slower than the new course rating of -6:48. This year both the bike and the run were slower than normal, and we didn’t see any new course records.
