Race Conditions

Ironman Wisconsin’s lake swim has always been pretty slow, and this year was no exception: A swim adjustment of -4:42 was the slowest this season outside of Kona, and pretty much responsible for the overall adjustment of -4:27.

Race Conditions

Similar to last year Challenge Almere was quite quick especially on the bike, probably a result of decent weather and nice temperatures. While 2013/14 had rain (adjustment about 6 minutes), the last two years were faster (adjustment of 17 and 22 minutes) – the course rating splits the difference at 13:02, roughly comparable to Arizona.
