IM New Zealand

Course Conditions

Overall, the conditions looked typical for Taupo (adjustment of 7:23 compared to a course rating of 7:45), maybe the bike was a bit faster and the run a bit slower. The close men’s race had the Top 7 going sub-8 – before this year Taupo had only five sub-8s in total. The men set new course records overall and on the bike. Joe Skipper improved on Andrew Staykowicz’s 2019 bike course record, and Mike Phillips took the overall course record from Joe (set in 2020). In addition, agegrouper Sam Askey-Doran set a new swim course record, his 43:15 was more than a minute faster than Dylan McNeice’s 2015 swim.

World Championship Qualifiers 

IM New Zealand had four slots each for the men and women. These will be offered to:

• Mike Phillips, Joe Skipper, Jack Moody and Benjamin Zorgnotti for the men (Nice)
  and
• Jocelyn McCauley, Nina Derron, Gabrielle Lemkes and Kate Gillespie-Jones for the women (Kona).

Course Conditions

Based on the numbers, conditions in Taupo have been normal – the adjustment of 5:46 was almost exactly the pre-race course rating of 6:19. This was a little bit different for the individual legs where the swim was four minutes slower than in the past, with a faster bike  leg making up most of the time “lost” in the swim.

This year’s performance highlight was Chelsea Sodaro running a sub-2:50 marathon, improving Kristin Liepold’s run course record from 2019 by more than five minutes. This also allowed Chelsea to set a new course record, improving the 2020 time by Teresa Adam by 22 seconds. 

Nice and Kona Qualifying

IM New Zealand offered three slots each, these will be offered to:

• Els Visser, Regan Hollioake, and Amelia Watkinson for the women (Nice)
  and
• Steven McKenna, Niek Heldoorn and Ben Hamilton for men (Kona).

In addition, Chelsea Sodaro validated her AQ slot. The list above assumes that Jocelyn McCauley will turn down her slot for Nice as she has posted before the race (and already done at IM Florida).
