IM New Zealand

Update February 28th: After new Covid cases, New Zealand is tightening their restrictions. Unfortunately, this means that IM New Zealand can’t take place as planned on March 6th (more details on IM New Zealand’s Facebook page). I will update once a new date has been set.

Update March 3rd: A new date has been set for March 27. I have left the field as was announced for March 6th, there may be some changes in the next few days.

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

• Mike Phillips: 49% (1-1)
• Braden Currie: 39% (2-1)
• Cameron Brown: 7% (13-1)

Kyle Smith is unbeaten in five races on the 70.3 distance, beating Braden Currie in the last three ones. With his swim and bike strength you can expect him to be at (or close to) the front, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens on the run.

Female Race Participants

• Melanie Burke: 46% (1-1)
• Rebecca Clarke: 34% (2-1)

As on the men’s side, an “Iron rookie” is likely to play a big role in the race: Hannah Wells has shown great performances on the half distance and is stepping up to the full in Taupo.

Course Conditions

Conditions in Taupo were quite favorable today (adjustment of 8:51 leading to a new course rating of 7:47), especially the bike was reported quite calm and lead to a couple of quick times (bike adjustment 8:11). The performance of the day was Teresa Adam’s bike leg, her 4:36:11 broke the old course record (on a slightly different course) by Lucy Gossage from 2016 by almost 15 minutes, while no one else was able to beat Lucy’s time. Teresa also had the fastest swim of the day, combined with a 3:05 marathon she also set a new overall course record of 8:40:29, improving on Jocelyn McCauley’s winning time of 8:53 from 2019.

On the men’s side, Joe Skipper and Philipp Koutny got close to Andrew Starykowicz’s 4:12 bike record, then Joe also had a blazing fast 2:43 marathon and set a new course record of 7:54:17, improving Terenzo Bozzone’s first sub-8 in Taupo from 2018.

Kona Qualifying

IM New Zealand offered 1m+1f+2u Kona Pro slots. 17 male and 13 female starters resulted in even slots. With Teresa Adam, Meredith Kessler and Joe Skipper already qualified, these slots will go to:

• Judith Corachan
• Rachel McBride
• Mike Philipps
  and
• Braden Currie.
