IM Western Australia

Course Conditions

Once again, Busselton proved to be a fast course, especially on the bike. But no new course records were set since conditions were about ten minutes slower overall than in record-setting (and exceptionally fast) 2023. A group of men rode the bike just over four hours (course record of 3:59 from Matt Burton), then 2:43 was the fastest run (marathon record is 2:37 by Daniel Baekkegard). On the women’s side, Lotte Wilms went sub:4:30 on the bike while the fastest bike is still Lisa Norden’s 4:21. No woman broke three hours on the marathon, and the run course record dates back to 2014 when Beth McKenzie ran a 2:58. 

Kona Qualifying

IM Western Australia had four slots each for the male and female Pros. These will be offered to

• Cameron Main, Caleb Noble, Jumpei Furuya and Nick Thompson for the men
  and
• Lotte Wilms, Kate Curran, Anne-Sophie Pierre and Charlotte McShane for the women.

You can find the list of all qualifiers on my “Kona 2026″ page.

Course Conditions

As has often been the case in recent years, IM Western Australia has been a fast final race of the year. This year conditions seemed especially favorable, and the bike and run were even quicker than normal. On the men’s side, Matt Burton rode a sub-4 bike leg, improving his own bike course record from last year. Winner Daniel Baekkegard set a new run course record of 2:37 (improving Max Neumann’s time from last year) and also an overall new course record (besting Ali Brownlee’s 2019 time). On the women’s side, we’ve seen a new bike course record by Lisa Norden and a new overall course record by Fenella Langridge, both improving on Teresa Adam’s times from 2019. Lisa’s bike time was also quicker than Daniela Ryf’s bike from Challenge Roth this year and is now the quickest IM bike time. 

Nice and Kona Qualifying

IM Western Australia offered three slots each for the men and women Pros. These will be offered to:

• Fenella Langridge, Lisa Norden and Lotte Wilms for the women (Nice)
  and
