Ironman Western Australia 2023 – Analyzing Results

IMWACourse 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)

Matt Burton improved Cam Wurf’s bike record from 2018 by one and a half minutes. On the women’s side, Kylie Simpson missed the run course record by just six seconds, Beth McKenzie’s time from 2014 still stands.

Ironman Western Australia 2021 – Analyzing Results

IMWA

Course Conditions

This year’s smaller field makes it harder to properly evaluate the conditions. It looks as if the swim and bike were quick as is typical for Busselton and the run a few minutes slower. No course records were broken this year.

Kona Qualifying

IM Western Australia offered 1 male and 1 female Kona Pro slot for the October race. These go to the winners

  • Kylie Simpson
    and
  • Matt Burton.

The full list of qualifiers can be found here.
