Ironman Mar del Plata 2017 – Analyzing Results

Race Conditions

This was the first Ironman race in Argentina. The swim was relatively slow, there was even some discussion before the race that winds might force shortening the swim (which didn’t happen on race day). Even with the wind, the bike was relatively quick, and colder temperatures also contributed to fast run times. The times are comparable to Australia, Cozumel or New Zealand.
