• Matt Burton: 41% (1-1)
• Steven McKenna: 2% (48-1)

Course Conditions

This year conditions were calm with almost no wind but also hot temperatures on the run. This made the race (adjustment of 16.25) about three minutes quicker than last year but very much in line of what is typical for the course (course rating of 16:38). Most of that quick time comes from the bike leg (adjustment of 16 minutes).

The conditions helped  to set a number of new course records: Female winner Teresa Adam improved on the bike course record set by Mareen Hufe in 2016 (4:41:32) and the overall record set last year by Caroline Steffen (8:49:45). Alistair Brownlee was faster than the 2016 course record by Terenzo Bozzone (7:51:26) and the 2007 run course record by Robert Thomas (2:43:48). 

Kona Qualifying

IM Western Australia has two male and two female slots, these go to

• Teresa Adam, Sarah Piampiano
  and
• Alistair Brownlee and Matt Burton.

The slot acceptance will be at Monday’s awards ceremony. In case one of these decline their slots, they would roll down to Gurutze Frades or Tim Berkel.

Course Conditions

After last year’s canceled swim, this year saw a “regular” Ironman in Busselton. The race was quick as usual (adjustment of 13:26), but there have been quicker conditions before and overall pretty much in line with the course rating of 16:39. It’s been mainly the bike that has been fast, as evidenced by a new bike record by Cam Wurf (his 4:07 was just a minute quicker than Luke McKenzie’s time from 2015) and Caroline Steffen missing Mareen Hufe’s bike record from 2016 by just three minutes even with a slow flat in the last miles before T2. Caroline’s overall time was good enough for a female course record, with an 8:49 she improved Mel Hauschildt’s time from 2016 by five minutes.

Kona Qualifying

IM Western Australia had one base slot for each gender plus two unassigned slots. Based on my understanding of the assignment process and the number of athletes starting the race (8 females and 13 males), one slot should go to each gender. This means that both of the top two finishers in each gender get a Kona slot, and Terenzo Bozzone, Cameron Wurf, Caroline Steffen and Barbara Riveros have secured their Kona 2019 start.
