Ironman New Zealand 2019 – Analyzing Results

IMNZLogoCourse Conditions

This year’s race day was typical for Taupo: A clear but cold morning, some wind picking up during the bike leg and decent conditions for fast running. The conditions did not seem to play a major role in the new course records we’ve seen.

Andrew Starykowicz had a fantastic 4:12 bike leg that blew the men’s race apart. At first glance, his time doesn’t seem that remarkable, but he improved the old record by Joe Skipper by more than seven minutes, and he was quicker by 13 minutes or more than anyone else in this year’s race. It wasn’t too long ago that bike leg in the 4:30s was lightning quick in Taupo. (Just to list the fastest bike splits from 2013 to 2017: 4:35/4:36/4:37/4:22/4:37.)

After the bike fireworks, Starky was able to run just over three hours and it looked like he’d be able to claim his third IM win. But Mike Philips ran a 2:40 marathon (new run course record) and took the lead just a few kilometers from the finish.

On the female side, Jocelyn McCauley had a good bike ride followed by a great run. She finished with a new overall course record of 8:53. Jocelyn’s 2:58 marathon was the run course record for less than an hour – then Kristin Liepold (nee Moeller) finished with a 2:55:34.

Kona Qualifying

IM New Zealand had four Pro slots. With 14 male and 14 female starters, they were evenly split.

On the female side, Jocelyn McCauley and Teresa Adam would have received these slots, but Teresa declined her slot and it rolled down to Meredith Kessler. On the men’s side Mike Phillips and Andrew Starykowicz were able to punch their Kona tickets.

Ironman New Zealand 2018 – Analyzing Results

Race Conditions

All reports from this year’s race mention that the conditions in Taupo were perfect for fast racing: Calm water, not too much wind on the bike and some cloud cover on the run meant that there were no weather challenges making the course any harder. That is evident from the data as well: An adjustment of 9:44 is the fastest in Taupo since 2009, and the race was also fast across all three legs.

This year’s IM New Zealand saw a number of course records. Terenzo Bozzone posted the first sub-8 time in Taupo with his winning time of 7:59:56, the old record was Cam Brown’s 8:07:58 from 2016. All three of the male podium – in addition to Terenzo it was Joe Skipper and Cam brown – were under the old record. Joe Skipper set a new bike course record, his 4:19:13 improved on Dougal Allan’s 4:22 from two years ago. (Terenzo was also under the old bike record.) Cam Brown missed beating Matt Hanson’s run course record (2:41:20 from 2016) by less than a minute – aside from Melbourne 2012 (which was probably short) his fastest run time ever at the age of 45! There were no course records on the female side, but Laura Siddall and Teresa Adam posted the second and fourth fastest times on the Taupo course.

Male Race Results

As expected, Dylan McNeice was leading after the swim. On the bike, he was caught after about 50 km, and by the half-way mark, a four-man lead group formed. Eventually, Joe Skipper and Terenzo dropped the others and pushed the pace. In T2 they had built a nine-minute lead over a larger chase group of six athletes, with only Mike Philips between them at five minutes back. Once on the run, Terenzo slowly but steadily moved away from the Joe, posting a new marathon PR of 2:44 and winning the race with his second sub-8 time. After a very solid race, Joe Skipper was just over five minutes back in second place. Cam Brown proved to be the strongest runner of the chase group, his 2:41 marathon saw him finish in third place. Jan Van Berkel also had a strong run (new marathon PR by five minutes!) to finish in fourth, while Mike Phillips took fifth.

Female Race Results

Iron-rookie Teresa Adam was the leader in T1 by three minutes, and she was riding well, too: It took Jocelyn McCauley almost until the half-way mark to bridge up to her and take the lead. After about 100k, Jocelyn was joined by Laura Siddall and while Laura took the lead, she was never able to really gap Jocelyn. Teresa also continued to ride well, and by T2 all three were within a minute of each other, building a gap of more than 15 minutes to the rest of the field. The early run saw Laura in the lead, but by 13k Jocelyn moved to the front. But that move didn’t stick, Laura was back in the lead and this time she was able to build a sizable gap. By 30k Laura was three minutes ahead of Jocelyn who herself was joined by Teresa. But nobody was able to challenge Laura who took her first Professional win in New Zealand after a string of second places, her second Ironman title after IM Australia last year. Towards the end Jocelyn struggled a bit, eventually finishing third while Teresa Adam was able to take second in her IM debut. The “Iron virgins” were doing well in Taupo: Alise Selsmark in fourth, Indy Kraal in fifth and Helena Kotopulu in sixth also finished their first Iron-distance race.

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

There is a large number candidates for the win on the men’s side: Terenzo Bozzone has had a couple of great Ironman races in the last years, but he’s still looking for the first title in his home Ironman race. When Joe Skipper is racing well, he’s clearly one of the fastest IM-distance athletes. Braden Currie is back to defend his title from last year, while Cam Brown has always raced well in Taupo and has won IM New Zealand twelve times already. Mike Philips hs only finished two IMs yet, but he’s already gone sub-8 and won last December’s 70.3 Taupo.

  • Terenzo Bozzone: 25% (3-1)
  • Joe Skipper: 21% (4-1)
  • Braden Currie: 18% (5-1)
  • Cameron Brown: 15% (5-1)
  • Mike Phillips: 10% (9-1)
  • Cyril Viennot: 4% (23-1)

Female Race Participants

On the female side, there are two main contender’s for the win: Last year’s winner Jocelyn McCauley and last year’s second place finisher Laura Siddall. Laura is clearly the faster athlete on the bike and is the likely T2 leader, but if Jocelyn manages to run a sub-3 marathon as she did last year, she’ll be hard to beat.

  • Laura Siddall: 46% (1-1)
  • Jocelyn McCauley: 45% (1-1)
  • Jessie Donavan: 6% (15-1)
