IM New Zealand

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).
